Mission Development Manager - Air Force & Space Force

At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.

Gallatin is hiring a Mission Development Manager — Air Force & Space Force to drive adoption of its Navigator platform across a mission landscape supported by more than $50 billion in annual operating-force investment
. This person will help the Air Force and Space Force address consequential challenges in maintenance, sustainment, logistics, readiness, mobility, and contested operations.

Success requires equal parts mission credibility, enterprise sales discipline, acquisition fluency, and personal initiative. You will work closely with Gallatin’s Product, Engineering, Solutions, Engagement Management, Capture, and executive teams, but you will remain accountable for developing the territory, creating qualified pipeline, advancing opportunities, and delivering bookings.
