  • Portfolio Management: Manage a portfolio of pilot projects, tracking technical milestones and transition success rates into Programs of Record or equivalent maturation success metrics.
  • Executive Briefing: Develop and deliver high-level briefings to senior leadership on market intelligence, competitive landscapes, and disruptive technology trends.
  • Drive pipeline creation and revenue growth through collaborative partner strategies.
  • Identify co-sell opportunities, joint pursuits, and technology integrations that enhance mission outcomes.
  • Program Management: Manage operations of CTO Technology Partnership Subcommittee.

Basic Qualifications:
  • Education and Years of Experience Requirements: Bachelor's Degree with at least 10 years of relevant experience OR a Master's Degree with at least 8 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in technology scouting, corporate venture capital, or strategic partnerships within the Aerospace, Defense, or High-Tech sectors.
  • Technical Literacy: Proven ability to translate complex emerging technologies(e.g., AI/ML, Quantum Computing, etc. ) into defense-specific mission applications and business terms.
  • Security: Candidates must have a current U.S. Government Secret level security clearance (or higher) in order to be considered and must have the ability to obtain, and maintain, a U.S. Government Top Secret level security clearance as a condition of continued employment.
  • Communication: Exceptional presentation skills with the ability to influence executive-level stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Network: Existing relationships within the Silicon Valley/tech hub ecosystems or with government innovation units like DIU, AFWERX, or DARPA.
  • M&A/Venture: Experience in technical due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, or corporate venture investments.
