What is defence sales?

Defence Sales refers to the business of selling military equipment, technology, and services to governments or authorized organizations for defense purposes. Professionals in this field facilitate transactions between defense manufacturers and buyers, ensuring compliance with legal regulations and export controls. Defence Sales roles often involve contract negotiation, relationship management, and a thorough understanding of both the products and the geopolitical landscape. The job can include both domestic and international sales, requiring a strong awareness of security protocols and ethical considerations.

Do defense sales jobs pay well?

Defense sales jobs typically offer competitive salaries that reflect the specialized knowledge and security clearance requirements involved. Compensation can vary based on experience, location, and the complexity of the products sold, with many roles including bonuses and benefits. Overall, these positions tend to be well-paying within the sales and defense industries.

What are some common challenges faced in defence sales and how can new hires prepare to overcome them?

In Defence Sales, professionals often encounter challenges such as navigating complex procurement processes, adhering to strict compliance requirements, and building trust with governmental clients. New hires should be prepared to work within lengthy sales cycles and collaborate closely with legal, technical, and project management teams to ensure proposals meet all regulatory standards. Developing a strong understanding of defense industry regulations and effective communication skills will help overcome these hurdles and build lasting client relationships.

CredentialsSales experience, knowledge of defense products, security clearancesSales experience, knowledge of military equipment, security clearances

Defence Sales and Military Sales often overlap, but Defence Sales generally refers to selling defense-related products to government or private sectors, while Military Sales specifically focus on selling military equipment directly to armed forces. Both roles require similar credentials and operate within the defense industry, but their target clients and environments may differ slightly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a defence sales professional?

To thrive in Defence Sales, you need a strong background in sales strategy, knowledge of defense industry regulations, and often a relevant degree such as business, engineering, or international relations. Familiarity with CRM software, defense procurement processes, and compliance certifications like ITAR are typically required. Exceptional negotiation, relationship-building, and cross-cultural communication skills set top performers apart in this field. These skills are crucial for building trust with clients, navigating complex sales cycles, and ensuring compliance in a highly regulated, competitive environment.

Co-Founder & CEO - AI LegalTech | AI-Native Litigation Defence Operations

Job description

The Opportunity

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead LucentAI, an AI-native litigation operations venture in build at FutureSight. This offers meaningful founder equity, not a salary.

LucentAI serves as an autopilot for medical-records and discovery operations in small-to-mid insurance-defence firms. Embedding in case-management systems, it retrieves and reviews records, flags key facts with confidence links, checks billing reasonableness, and chronologically triages discovery. This human-gated system excludes legal drafting, externalizing review capacity so firms can scale case volume without adding headcount.

Market validation through FutureSight’s discovery interviews confirmed strong demand:

  • Operations is the wedge; autopilot is the vision. All buyers wanted managed operations. LucentAI provides end-to-end automation, earning trust incrementally by handling routine work silently while keeping legal drafting human.
  • The pain is in the dollars, not the dashboards. One lead costs the middle phase at ~$1M/year in time and errors; a partner noted only ~$200K of a $1M medical bill was reasonable. With zero AI currently used, the ROI-driven payback case is immediate.
  • Capacity is the ceiling, and the record is the moat. Manual partner review caps case capacity and revenue. Defence records and billing patterns form a proprietary dataset that plaintiff-focused incumbents lack.
Market Context

We target underserved small-to-mid US insurance-defence firms.

The Phase-1 beachhead SAM is $150M–$600M across 1,500–3,000 firms; the full roadmap reaches a ≥$100M obtainable market (SOM ≈ $110M–$360M).

With 71% of legal AI funding flowing to plaintiff-focused companies, the defence market remains underserved, creating a need for technology purpose-built for litigation defence and risk management.

About FutureSight

FutureSight is a leading venture builder that co-creates world-class software companies with values-driven entrepreneurs from inception to exit. We are a team of founders, operators and designers with experience successfully bringing software to market at scale.

You’ll co-create with a proven studio team, led by John Carbrey (4x entrepreneur, $100M ARR), Krista LaRiviere (3x exited, E&Y Top Women Entrepreneur), Alan Smith (Strategyzer co-founder, $120M in products built), Prathna Ramesh (former MD of Maple Leaf Angels, $275M in follow-on capital), and Johnny Tong (0-to-1 builder, acquired by SAP and Stripe) bring a rare combination of operator exits, institutional investing, and AI product depth.

The Partnership
  • Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception
  • Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding
  • Venture building resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one
  • Investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early-stage capital markets
  • A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner
What you'll own

As Co-Founder & CEO, you will set the venture's direction and lead its execution.

  • Strategy — Refine the ICP, size-tiered pricing model, and product positioning
  • Customer Development — Lead pilots with managing partners and claims/litigation-operations leads at small-to-mid insurance-defence firms, starting from the confirmed design partner, convert them to paid engagements, and build the go-to-market motion
  • Product — Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 (records retrieval, key-fact flagging, billing-reasonableness analysis, and discovery triage) and iterate on user feedback; sequence carrier reserving and prediction as a later phase
  • Capital — Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight's network and traction
  • Team — Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company
Co-Founder Profile
  • Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company
  • Demonstrated success in B2B AI or B2B SaaS go-to-market, including consultative, relationship-driven sales and customer engagement
  • Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital
  • Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent
  • Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company
  • Deep domain expertise in insurance defence or claims operations, including pre-litigation records and discovery, legal billing review, and litigation case management.
How to Apply

Please submit your resume, LinkedIn profile, and a brief note on why this venture aligns with your goals as a founder. We will move quickly for the right candidate.

FutureSight is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and experiences.
