Technical Mission Growth Lead

We are seeking a Technical Mission Growth Lead to bridge the gap between operational cyber expertise and mission execution. This is not a traditional business‑development role; it’s for someone who’s lived the mission and understands the technical dos and don’ts for operational transition.

You will serve as our primary interface with the mission, responsible for shaping how capabilities are developed and deployed. You will be a hybrid of a technical operations, mission specialist, tech translator, and product manager – responsible for the full lifecycle: from identifying operational pain points, to prototyping a technical fix, to engagement with mission partners.

• Mission‑Aligned Growth: Drive strategy across offensive cyber and intelligence spaces. Identify, qualify, and pursue opportunities that directly impact customer mission success.
• Technical Prototyping: Build, integrate, and deliver technical demonstrations. Deploy systems in lab and customer environments to prove capability, not just describe it.
• Proposal Management: Lead cross‑functional teams to deliver compelling solicitation responses.
• Customer Advocacy: Act as a trusted advisor to operators and technical leadership. Lead mission‑focused solutioning sessions in high‑trust environments.
• Strategy & Capture: Partner with leadership to shape requirements, contribute deep technical context to proposals, and navigate acquisition pathways for emerging tech.

• Operational Credibility: Direct experience in offensive cyber, technical targeting, or intelligence operations.
• Builder Mindset: Write scripts, leverage APIs, and deploy infrastructure to build demos that demonstrate value to the mission.
• Technical Versatility: Familiarity with modern networking, cyber tooling, and ability to articulate complex trade‑offs to engineering teams and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Mission Empathy: Ability to communicate with mission partners across Title 10 and Title 50 spaces and speak their language.
• Clear Communicator: Translate complex technical ideas into concise messaging for operators, engineers, and senior decision‑makers.
• Acquisition Awareness: Working knowledge of government acquisition and contracting processes.
