The Position

Arevon is recruiting for the position of RTO Policy Manager, an outstanding opportunity for individuals seeking an exciting, high-growth work environment in one of the most important industries of the 21st century.

• Concisely summarize key takeaways from RTO stakeholder meetings and trade association calls.
• Describe specific issues and provide relevant reasoning as to why it is important for Arevon's portfolio.
• Translate complex topics into simple, persuasive terms, highlighting critical issues for diverse audiences through written reports and oral presentations.
• Provide logical insights supported with strong pattern-recognition and critical reasoning.
• Work with internal teams to identify the policy needs and determine the impacts of potential RTO policy changes on Arevon's business.
