Astrion has an exciting opportunity for an onsite Vice President, Business Development & Campaign Lead to drive the growth campaign for Astrion's Critical Infrastructure mission area.

The Campaign Lead will shape and mature qualified pipeline, build strategic customer and partner relationships, improve win rates, and position Astrion as the trusted Mission Assurance partner for the systems that matter most.

The successful candidate will partner with Operations, Solutions, Growth, Finance, Contracts, and M&A leaders to package offerings such as Mission Evidence Packs, Digital Twins, OT/ICS Assessments, Exercise & Readiness packages, resilience dashboards, and Astrion Core-enabled solution modules.

• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, technology, national security, public policy, or a related field; additional relevant experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
• 15+ years of business development, capture, or growth leadership experience in federal transportation, energy, homeland security, or regulated-commercial infrastructure markets.

• Understanding of systems engineering, operational test and evaluation, cyber-physical resilience, digital engineering, OT/ICS, digital twins, mission assurance, or infrastructure modernization.

• Experience with DOE/NNSA Management & Operating contractors, national laboratories, or complex federal infrastructure procurement pathways.
• Experience building or selling repeatable offerings, platform-enabled services, product-attached services, or mission-solution portfolios.
• Familiarity with Astrion Core-type frameworks, digital twin platforms, OT/ICS cyber vendors, cloud/AI partners, control-system OEMs, infrastructure engineering partners, or small-business channel partners.
