Director, Defense Prime Partnerships

ABOUT FUSE We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win. ABOUT THE ROLE You'll be responsible for growth across the federal systems integrator and defense-prime community: finding opportunities, building the pipeline, executing strategy, and expanding customer relationships. You'll represent Fuse in the federal market and work directly with engineering and business teams to turn integrator relationships into real programs and revenue. WHAT WE VALUE

• Obsess about the details — sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time.
• 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. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
• Build and maintain strong relationships across a diverse set of internal and external constituencies, including senior-level executives, technical teams, program delivery, and capture teams.
• Train and influence systems integrators by refining value propositions to meet specific partner and client needs.
