About the role
You'll be responsible for Fuse's mission in Washington. Fuse sits at the intersection of national security and deeptech hardware, and decisions on the Hill and inside the Pentagon shape how fast we can scale. Your job is to turn policy and funding priorities into enacted language, appropriated dollars, and durable relationships — and bring Washington's signals back to leadership before they become obvious.
What they're looking for
- Top-tier mindset: low-ego, takes full responsibility for outcomes, mission-before-credit, comfortable operating in ambiguity
- A recognized leader in Washington: you carry a strong reputation on the Hill and in the building, and the people who matter take your calls
- A record of wins: you have moved language into the NDAA, secured appropriations, or delivered comparable legislative outcomes, and you can walk us through exactly how you did it
- Budget fluent: deep command of how the federal budget gets built, how authorizations and appropriations interact, and how to time engagement across the full cycle
- Strategic operator: you see around corners, set the agenda, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction
- Sharp communicator: persuasive in the room and precise on paper, whether the audience is a Member, a four-star, or a founder

Care — pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care.
Act with urgency — every hour matters more than it feels like it does.
Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed.
Assume good intent — disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made.
