Government Affairs

About Us

Integrate is building the first real-time, cross-boundary project management platform for the world’s most complex programs. We started with one of the most complex customers on earth, the U.S. government. Its programs span thousands of people, multiple organizations, billion-dollar budgets, and differentiated security environments. And somehow, too much of that work still runs on stale schedules, spreadsheets, hand-built slides, and project management software stuck in the Tetris era.

We’re changing that. Based in Seattle, Integrate has secured a $25 million U.S. Space Force contract and expanded across government and commercial programs, raised a $17 million Series A led by FPV Ventures, secured backing from J.P. Morgan, and built software that operates across government and commercial environments, from unclassified work to Top Secret networks.

We move fast, keep the egos low, and make room for quirks, strong opinions, fun, and the occasional chaos of building things from scratch with extreme velocity. We offer strong benefits, real ownership, and ambitious work with people you actually want to be around.

Our Solution

Integrate gives complex programs something they have never had before. One real-time schedule that can operate across organizations, security boundaries, and classification levels without fragmenting the schedule.

The program stays live as it changes. Teams can see how the program has moved, understand how a change ripples downstream, surface risk before it compounds, and control access down to the individual element. And our AI architecture works from that same continuously updated program state. It understands what is happening now, not a report assembled days or weeks ago. The schedule stops being a static plan and becomes a living reflection of the program itself.

We’re nowhere near done. We want to set a new standard for how the world’s most complex work gets done, and we won’t stop until we do.

About the Role

We’re hiring someone to own Government Affairs and to build Integrate’s presence on Capitol Hill and across the executive branch. You’ll join our Washington, DC team and work directly with our Managing Director of Washington Operations.

A lot of people have already done the hard work of making it easier for the government to buy commercial software. That momentum is a tailwind for us. Your job is to keep it going: know what’s moving in policy, legislation, and appropriations, understand how it affects Integrate’s ability to do business, and when something needs to change, for Integrate or for our whole sector, and build the plan to change it.

That could mean shaping policy that makes modern program management a requirement, or finding an appropriation awarded to one of our customers that can fund the software their program needs. You’ll work alongside our outside consultants and industry associations, and you’ll be the person who makes sure the members, staff, and officials whose decisions affect our customers know who Integrate is.

You’ll spot the opportunities other people miss, then come to the team with a plan to go after them.

What You’ll Work On

• Track legislation, appropriations, and executive branch policy across defense, intelligence, space, and emerging tech, and turn what matters into clear, actionable insight for leadership

• Identify the policy and funding levers that affect Integrate’s ability to win business, then build and run plans to influence members of Congress, committee and personal staff, and executive branch officials

• Follow the NDAA and defense appropriations cycles end to end, from budget request to report language to final bill, looking for opportunities that support our customers’ programs

• Build and maintain relationships with Hill staff, agency officials, and industry partners so Integrate has a known, trusted presence in DC

• Represent Integrate in industry associations and coalitions working on defense acquisition reform and commercial software adoption

• Coordinate with and help manage our outside government affairs consultants and lobbyists

• Draft briefing memos, one-pagers, policy positions, and meeting materials for leadership and external audiences

• Partner with our capture and business development team so policy work connects directly to pipeline

Policy Focus Areas

Defense acquisition and commercial software adoption, the NDAA, defense and intelligence appropriations, intelligence authorization, space policy, and AI and emerging technology. The work also touches federal cybersecurity and export control requirements.

Experience

We don’t expect you to check every box, but here’s the kind of background that sets you up to succeed:

• 2–5+ years in government affairs, government relations, public policy, or a related federal role. Past titles like Policy Analyst, Government Affairs Analyst, Government Relations Coordinator, or Legislative Assistant fit well

• Working knowledge of the legislative process and the federal budget cycle; hands-on NDAA or defense appropriations experience is a strong plus

• Experience on the Hill, in an executive branch agency, at a trade association, or in a corporate or firm-side government affairs shop

• Existing relationships with defense, intelligence, or aerospace staff and officials

• Strong research and writing skills. You can turn a 1,000-page bill into a one-page brief someone will actually read

• Bachelor’s degree in public policy, political science, international relations, economics, or a similar field; an advanced degree is a plus

• Defense, intelligence, or aerospace policy background is strongly preferred. If you’ve run the same playbook in an adjacent sector like energy and want to bring it to national security, we want to hear from you

Who You Are

You track legislation and appropriations closely enough to know what’s coming and what it means for us. You’re comfortable setting your own priorities and adjusting when the calendar or the news changes, which on the Hill is often.

You have a real interest in national security and want to support the defense and intelligence communities. You’re at ease meeting with Hill staff and program offices, you keep your communication brief, and you follow through.

This is a startup, so the role will grow beyond its title. We want someone who’s looking for that, and we’ll invest in your development along the way.

Why Join Us

Join us at the forefront of deep tech, building the software that powers the next generation of hardware innovation. We’re a tight-knit, ambitious team with a vision to transform how humans build.

You’ll help shape a company that works with customers building rockets, aircraft, autonomous systems, and the infrastructure of the modern world. You’ll have real ownership and a direct say in how the company grows, in ways that just aren’t possible at a larger organization. You’ll also work alongside a team of high performers who will push you to grow faster than you would anywhere else.
