Actively Hiring

Lime is the world’s largest shared electric vehicle company. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered 400+ million rides in 250+ cities on 5 continents, replacing an estimated 100+ million car trips. Named a Time 100 Most Influential Company and Fast Company Brand That Matters, we achieved a fully profitable year in 2022, becoming the first in our industry to reach this milestone.

We are hiring a Government Relations Manager in ANZ to join Lime’s global policy and communications team. In this role, you will own all of Lime’s external relationships and focus on deepening Lime’s rapport across ANZ. You will make an impact by helping us advance micro-mobility, grow our fleet size across multiple vehicle types, and enter new markets across Australia and New Zealand.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in building partnerships with community and government stakeholders and communicating the values of our service to regulators, the media and other key constituencies.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in a startup culture. You will also be comfortable working in an environment with evolving goals and have an aptitude to overcome obstacles as they arise and ambition to get things done. You thrive on building relationships and uncover the employee sentiment around current offerings.

This is a remote position; however, the candidate must reside in major cities in either Australia or New Zealand (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Wellington). And you will report directly to our Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs, ANZ.

Collaborate with the marketing team on field marketing, safety campaigns, and local media activities.
Act as the face of Lime in the region by participating in media interviews and speaking at public events.
Analyse and inform regional leadership and company HQ on local regulatory or legislative matters.
