Government Affairs Intern

Integrate is seeking a part-time or full-time Government Affairs Intern to support our Washington, DC office and work directly with our Managing Director of Washington Operations. This role is a great opportunity for an undergraduate or graduate student to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of government, national security, and startup operations. You’ll help track legislation and policy developments, prepare briefing materials, support business development efforts, and assist with office operations. No two days will look the same — one day you might be summarizing a new space policy memo, the next attending a Hill meeting or industry event.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct policy research and analysis on aerospace and defense issues relevant to Integrate’s mission.
• Monitor and track government activities, legislation, and industry developments that impact aerospace, defense, and emerging tech.
• Assist in preparing briefing memos, presentations, and meeting materials for internal and external stakeholders.
• Support business development efforts, including strategy, prospecting, opportunity tracking, and follow-ups.
• Coordinate meetings, events, and office logistics in Washington, DC.
• Assist with scheduling, travel planning, and other administrative tasks for the DC office.
• Jump in on special projects as needed!

Requirements:

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a bachelor’s degree or graduate degree (ideally in public policy, political science, international relations, economics, or a related field, but all majors will be considered).
• Ability to begin work full-time or part-time this summer. Candidates available for the fall will also be considered.
• Strong research and writing skills, with the ability to distill complex topics into concise, actionable insights.
• Interest in government affairs, defense tech, and national security.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Pay: $30 – $35 an hour
