A capture manager works in sales development on behalf of a company or business. Their job is to convince any sales leads to sign contracts with the company.

To thrive as a Capture Manager, you need expertise in business development, competitive analysis, and proposal management, often supported by a bachelor’s degree in business or a related field. Familiarity with CRM systems, proposal management software, and government contracting platforms (like SAM.gov) is typically required. Strong leadership, strategic thinking, and persuasive communication skills help you build relationships and lead cross-functional teams effectively. These skills are vital for identifying opportunities, developing winning strategies, and securing successful bids in a highly competitive environment.

What are some common challenges capture managers face when leading proposal efforts, and how can they address them?

Capture Managers often encounter challenges such as aligning cross-functional teams, meeting tight proposal deadlines, and gathering critical information from stakeholders. To address these, successful Capture Managers establish clear communication channels, set realistic timelines, and proactively engage subject matter experts early in the process. Building strong relationships with both internal and external partners also helps ensure access to key resources and mitigates potential bottlenecks during proposal development.

Job description

Stratolaunch is seeking a Sr. Account Manager - INDOPACOM to serve as a front-end Business Development leader responsible for building relationships across the regional command and driving strategic award opportunities within Indo-Pacific programs. This individual will help shape and capture opportunities by translating customer needs into funded programs, with a particular focus on how Stratolaunch's developing Targets portfolio can support military exercises across the INDOPACOM region. This is intended to be a hands-on role for someone who can lead capture strategy, develop win themes, build relationships, and contribute to proposal development in partnership with the broader BD team.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Manage and execute the full business development lifecycle across INDOPACOM-related pursuits.
  • Lead capture activities by developing win strategies, capture plans, and opportunity shaping plans that position Stratolaunch for award.
  • Translate customer needs, operational gaps, and exercise requirements into program requirements and actionable win strategies.
  • Develop and execute customer engagement plans to build understanding of customer priorities, mission challenges, and funding pathways.
  • Identify where Stratolaunch capabilities, including the evolving Targets portfolio, align to Indo-Pacific military exercises and customer needs.
  • Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders across INDOPACOM and relevant service components, commands, and partners.
  • Lead solution strategy in partnership with internal business development, solution architects, and technical teams to mature offerings and shape pursuits.
  • Support proposal development by contributing to strategy, messaging, and written content as part of a larger BD/proposal team.
  • Brief pipeline status, pursuit strategy, and closure plans to senior and executive leadership on a regular basis.
  • Execute capture gate reviews and help drive disciplined pursuit management across assigned opportunities.
  • Assess customer exercise needs and help define where tailored capability solutions may be required to support mission success.
  • Represent Stratolaunch in the region as a trusted, credible, and proactive business development partner.

 QUALIFICATIONS

  • Recent experience working with INDOPACOM J7 and/or J8.
  • Deep familiarity with the INDOPACOM mission environment and the military exercise ecosystem across the region.
  • Strong understanding of Joint Staff/COCOM technology and employment requirements spanning the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, and key allied/coalition partners.
  • Demonstrated ability to connect customer need, operational demand, and funding strategy to help close opportunities.
  • Experience with acquisition processes, strategic planning, and opportunity shaping.
  • Ability to build relationships while also doing hands-on capture and proposal work without relying on a large support staff.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to help write proposal content and executive-level briefing material.
  • Strong business development and/or capture management background preferred.
  • Ability to understand warfighter needs, command priorities, exercise gaps, and where Stratolaunch solutions can provide value.
  • Candidates should be able to understand mission need, capability fit, and solution tailoring at a level sufficient to shape opportunities effectively.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, National Security Studies, Public Policy, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
  • 15+ years of relevant experience supporting INDOPACOM, a combatant command environment, or closely related defense organizations.
  • Prior experience in business development, capture, account management, strategic planning, military exercises, acquisition, or operational planning strongly preferred.
  • Backgrounds may include senior civilian professionals supporting INDOPACOM, or military officers exiting service at approximately the O-6 level or comparable experience, particularly those who are comfortable working as individual contributors in a hands-on role.
