Protagonist

Washington, DC • On-site, Remote

$124K - $190K/yr

Re-posted 2 days ago

Job description

Job Description

Protagonist is seeking a National Security Strategic Communications Director (Legislative Affairs Focus) to support a high-visibility national security initiative.

This role sits at the center of the engagement-you will own the client relationship, shape the strategic direction of the work, and guide a distributed team delivering analysis and communication products.

If you can sit across from senior leaders, understand what they actually need (not just what they say), and turn that into direction for a team, this is your lane. This is a high-autonomy, high-visibility role where you'll shape both the client relationship and the work itself, not just execute against it.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary interface to senior U.S. Government stakeholders
  • Set the strategic direction for the engagement and ensure all work aligns to client priorities
  • Translate client needs into clear guidance for analysts and communications staff
  • Lead development of communication strategies, plans, and high-impact products
  • Develop Legislative engagement strategies and stakeholder management plans
  • Anticipate emerging issues and shape work before the client asks for it
  • Manage and mentor a distributed team
  • Maintain strong relationships across client and internal leadership

Requirements

  • The position requires on-site work (occasional remote opportunities) in the Washington Metropolitan Area (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) for a Federal Government client. Occasional domestic travel may be required
  • Active TS/SCI clearance required
  • Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of work experience or advanced degree with 7+ years of work experience in communication, marketing, psychology, political science, or other social science fields. Relevant military or prior government experience in lieu of a four-year degree considered
  • Experience advising senior government leaders on high-visibility national security initiatives (DoD strongly preferred)
  • Proven ability to lead complex engagements and influence decision-making
  • Strong communicator who can translate complex topics into clear messaging
  • Experience working the Hill, or in Legislative Affairs, strongly desired
  • Background in defense, space, or national security environments is a plus

Additional Information

If you're passionate about technology and making an impact, apply today! Protagonist is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and innovating environment where everyone's voice can make a difference.

Protagonist is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Salary Range: $124,000-$190,000 based on education and level of relevant experience.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
