About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Growth Leader to take ownership of its growth strategy in defense and national security markets. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining and leading the company's revenue and growth strategy, identifying and prioritizing new markets, and building strong relationships with government stakeholders and strategic partners. This role demands a hands-on executive with a proven track record in scaling revenue, a deep understanding of complex sales cycles, and experience in selling defense technology or dual-use products. The Executive Growth Leader will also be tasked with leading a high-performing business development and revenue operations team, setting and managing pipeline and revenue targets, and ensuring the company's mission-critical capabilities are effectively positioned and evolved to meet market needs.

Applicants for the Executive Growth Leader position at the company should have a background that includes a strong cross-functional acumen in sales, business development, product, and partnerships. The role requires the ability to operate in ambiguous environments, balance near-term execution with long-term positioning, and foster a culture of collaboration and performance. The ideal candidate will have a track record of owning deals from initial engagement to award, the ability to operate without a defined playbook, and executive presence with experience engaging senior leadership and boards. A U.S. government security clearance, or the ability to obtain one, is also a key requirement for this role.
