Why Peraton

Peraton is a leading mission capability integrator and trusted partner to the U.S. government on its most consequential work — from intelligence and cyber to space, defense, and the federal civilian agencies that keep the country running. Within ourFederal Civilian Sector, we deliver mission-critical capabilities to the agencies that protect, serve, and represent America at home and abroad.

For BD leaders, that means a platform thatinvests in pursuits, backs bold strategy, and rewards results.You'll have the resources, the bench, and the executive air cover to chase — and win — the deals that move the needle.

Ready to Lead the DHS Account?

If you're a BD leader who knows DHS, has the relationships and the wins to prove it —apply today.

The Technology Behind America's Homeland Security Senior Business Development Director — Department of Homeland Security

Peraton | Federal Civilian Sector | DC Metro Area | U.S. Citizenship Required

Lead Peraton's Growth Across One of the Federal Government's Most Mission-Critical Customers.

From CBP at the border to DHS Headquarters setting strategy for the whole enterprise — Homeland Security runs at the speed of real-world events, and the technology powering its mission has to keep pace. Peraton is hiring a Senior Business Development Directorto grow our DHS footprint — someone who knows the components, the competitors, and the cadence of how work actually gets shaped inside DHS.

If you've spent your career inside the DHS BD community — and you want a platform that will back your strategy, your relationships, and your biggest pursuits — let's talk.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • A customer with no off-season.DHS missions don't pause. Border security, cyber, immigration, screening, critical infrastructure — the demand for capability is constant and the modernization runway is long.
  • Real deal scale. You'll be leading pursuits in excess of $200M — the kind of wins that move sector numbers and get noticed at the top of the house.
  • A seat at the growth table.You'll operate as an integral member of the Federal Civilian Sector growth team — not buried three layers down.
  • Shape the work, don't react to it.The wins on this account go to the BD professionals who are inside the customer's planning conversations a year ahead of the solicitation. That's the work here.
What You'll Do
  • Own the pipeline.Create, identify, develop, and qualify opportunities aligned to Peraton's strategic campaigns — driving meaningful, measurable revenue growth.
  • Hit the number.Achieve acquisition and sales goals through new business wins, contract recompetes, teaming, and organic program growth.
  • Build the plan.Develop and continuously refresh a strategic growth plan and associated pipeline, consistent with corporate campaign strategy.
  • Be the customer's trusted advisor.Serve as the primary interface with the DHS customer community for assigned opportunities — and build real, durable relationships through effective, consistent communication.
  • Shape what's coming.Influence requirements and acquisition strategiesbeforethe formal solicitation lands — the work that separates a good BD professional from a great one.
  • Hunt for what's next.Identify and target new markets, adjacencies, and partnerships that fit Peraton's discriminators.
  • Run a disciplined process.Embrace Peraton's Business Acquisition Process and effectively manage and communicate opportunities, pursuit plans, and risk to leadership and technical teams.
  • Bring solutions to life.Work with internal technical and program management teams to translate capabilities into RFIs, market surveys, white papers, briefings, and major event demonstrations that resonate with the customer.
