About this role

Fuse is hiring for a Head of Government Affairs role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • Both angles of the mission: you have served as a congressional staffer on a relevant committee (defense appropriations, armed services, or energy & water) AND worked inside a high-growth startup. You understand what it…
  • 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.
  • Willing to travel on short notice when the mission calls, including nights/weekends and whatever the mission demands.
