• Maintain all pipeline activity through Salesforce with discipline and transparency

• Proven experience in business development or sales within the Aerospace & Defense industry

• Familiarity with government procurement, ITAR requirements, long-cycle programs, and risk mitigation expectations

• A hunter’s mentality with the ability to prospect, qualify, and close large, complex deals
