Seattle WA United States Fuse innovation Full time

Fuse Washington ( ) is the state’s largest progressive organization – people creating change online, on the ground, and on issues that matter.

Our goals at Fuse are to help progressives win more often and give ordinary people a strong voice in politics. We aim to provide organizing and communications power that helps progressives win today and tomorrow on critical issues and electoral campaigns while strengthening the foundation for increased success over time. We achieve our goals through three core capacities that we believe are critical to long-term success:

  • Organizing: we add more people to the most important campaigns
  • Communications: we deliver stories and messages that move people through new media and the news media, and we train others in the progressive community to communicate more effectively.
  • Political troubleshooting: we provide creative problem-solving and rapid response for critical political challenges and opportunities and we aim to increase accountability and promote leadership.

Fuse has several strengths as an organization that fuel our work:

  • A culture of innovation and creativity: we always aim to be an innovation engine and a game-changer.
  • Long-term timeline and a focus on movement and capacity building: our strategies are designed to build long-term power for progressives in Washington while also delivering short-term results.
  • Speed and nimbleness: we possess the flexibility to tackle urgent challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
Summary

Do you think Washington should lead the nation with smart, progressive policies that build a just society, thriving communities, and a better future for our kids? Are you passionate about advancing racial equity, creating an economy that works for all of us, and supporting a clean energy future? Do you want a political climate that supports strong progressive leadership and demands accountability?

Fuse is hiring a Senior Research Manager to lead the research and writing for our popular and widely used Progressive Voters Guide program in Washington.

  • Play a lead role with senior staff and board members on politically challenging races.
  • Manage seasonal research fellows, as needed.
  • Work closely with the Operations Director to ensure full campaign finance compliance.
  • Actively participate in organizational development, including fundraising events, racial equity work, and annual election activities.
