Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Director of Strategic Growth Unmanned Systems to lead critical shaping and long-term capture opportunities with the United States Department of Defense.

You will lead the campaign to develop, shape, propose, and capture a large Program of Record in unmanned maritime systems. It is expected that you will build and implement a strategic approach to the problem set. This will include leading by example, hiring where required, and seeing through the effort from shaping requirements, solicitation, capture, and transition for the next generation of US shipbuilding. It is a requirement that you are passionate about revitalizing America’s maritime superiority and understanding the gaps and requirements needed to be closed to achieve this vision.

This position requires the ability to think creatively, navigate intricate requirements, and deliver exceptional results. You will lead a team that will encompass legal, contracts, proposals, growth leads, and directly manage this campaign with company support. This position also comes with direct input and access to recommend the deployment of capital to close on requirements and gaps, ahead of need, to deliver capability to DoD at the speed of relevance.

The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of US Navy / Marine Corps / Military Sealift Command Requirements, CONOPs, Resourcing, Acquisitions and Contracting pathways (the entire PPBE pipeline). Additionally, the candidate will have knowledge of accelerated acquisition pathways, and how to increase support for Company capture. This would include recommendations on strategic capture strategies to include teaming, partnerships, subKs, and alignments.

It is expected a candidate will have an intimate understanding of the Government appropriations processes inside both the Legislative and Executive Branches of the US Government. Additionally, in a changing and dynamic budgeting environment, a mindset for ‘outside-the-box' approaches to developing long-term programs and capabilities is a must.

Key Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership : Shape, develop and implement a strategic approach to capture a Program of Record to include key hires and team development where required to ensure success.
  • Strategic Growth : The Department of Defense is undergoing a revolution in its acquisition processes. You must be ready to accelerate that revolution and deliver capability ahead of expectations and drive results.

  • Creative Problem-Solving : Develop innovative strategies to address unique challenges in shaping, developing and capturing Programs of Record.
  • Compliance Assurance : Ensure adherence to all regulatory and company standards, including ITAR, cybersecurity, and MIL-STD requirements.
  • Leadership Engagement : Act as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, providing insights and recommendations on contracts and proposals strategies.
  • Clearance : The candidate must have a current TS / SCI eligibility.

Qualifications

  • Exceptional organizational, communication, and negotiation skills. Expectation is to shape, develop and close ACAT II or similar level Programs.
  • Creative problem-solving abilities with a focus on delivering strategic solutions.
  • Active security clearance : TS / SCI (polygraph or full scope a plus but not required)
  • Preferred Qualifications :
  • Candidate has intimate contacts within highest levels of the US Navy across requirements owners, resource sponsors and acquisition offices.
  • The individual will be a self-starter with autonomy and a bias for action. We will hire for culture – as much of the initial ground game will have to be individually driven.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Leadership Access : Work closely with executive leadership, influencing key business decisions. You report directly to the VP of Growth and lead a key company campaign.
  • Room for Growth : This role offers a clear path to expanded responsibilities and career advancement.
  • Innovative Environment : Be part of a forward-thinking company redefining the maritime industry.
