About Catalyst·Wayfare

CatalystWayfare is Washington’s premier boutique policy firm serving the most promising mission-driven deep-tech startups. Founded in 2017, Catalyst·Wayfare works to accelerate the pace of positive technological change globally, helping companies navigate the waters of geopolitics, global regulation, and public trust to help them to deliver for the world.

Position summary

Lead bipartisan advocacy for deep-tech clients across Congress, the Administration, and targeted state capitols. Develop strategies and drive engagement with Capitol Hill staff, Administration officials, and state legislators on AI, energy/climate, transportation, critical minerals, and related technology policy. Coordinate coalitions and fly-ins; identify leverage points in bills, hearings, markups, and rulemakings; convert engagement into concrete client outcomes. Maintain a disciplined pipeline of bipartisan relationships and actions that advance client objectives at the federal and state levels.

Key responsibilities

Lead bipartisan advocacy & relationships: Select, arrange, and lead meetings with Hill staff, Administration officials, and state legislators; cultivate and maintain productive, bipartisan relationships for client priorities.
Own legislative strategy & tracking: Develop and execute federal and state engagement plans; identify opportunities for engagement based on relationships, hearings and markups, and political developments; flag opportunities/risks and recommend next steps.
Write briefing materials & client communications: Draft talking points, one-pagers, letters of support/opposition, opportunity memos, and testimony; prep founders/executives for meetings and hearings.
Facilitate stakeholder engagement: Coordinate with trade associations, think tanks, and issue coalitions; organize Hill days/fly-ins and stakeholder roundtables.
Drive state engagement: Lead or support targeted state strategies, including legislator outreach, letters of support, and multistate bill tracking.
Provide consistent reporting: Deliver concise and regular updates; translate policy movement into clear, action-oriented client briefings.

Ideal candidate

Recent relevant experience: At least 2 years of legislative experience on Capitol Hill (LA, LC, or committee staff) or at least 3 years in a state capitol with leadership office or committee or at least 2 years of federal GR experience in a policymaker-facing role.
Independent executor: Able to lead the execution of a policy engagement strategy, including identifying key policymakers and stakeholders, arranging and leading meetings, and following-up to ensure actionable outcomes.
Effective across parties: Trusted by Republican and Democratic offices; sound political judgment and message discipline.
Relationship builder: Established working ties on Capitol Hill and within the Administration.
Policy translator: Able to communicate complex tech policy clearly and persuasively into clear talking points, one-pagers, and testimony.
Proactive: Identify new opportunities to advance client priorities.
Detail oriented: Stay on top of bills, hearings, and rulemakings; coordinate fly-ins and testimony; willing to register as a lobbyist and adhere to all compliance rules
Location: Washington, D.C. area.
