📋 Description

• Vannevar Labs supports people on the front lines by building tools that deter and de-escalate conflict with America's adversaries. • We build software and hardware for this mission that enable our customers to maintain maritime vigilance, disrupt misinformation, and collect non-traditional intelligence. • In strategic competition, the intelligence and actions that shape conflict occur well before war itself. • We build tools to win this fight now. • This mission has become urgent. The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. • As a team, we believe in public service and that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses. • Since our founding in 2019, we have grown to support a wide range of missions and capabilities across all U.S. service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and the intelligence community. • We have been profitable since 2021, and are backed by investors including General Catalyst, DFJ Growth, Point72, Costanoa, and Felicis. • We are looking for a Mission Development Manager to pursue go-to market strategies and deliver significant growth outcomes at Vannevar. • This position will report to a Senior Mission Development Manager aligned to one of our growth pods. • These pods focus on launching foothold pilots, converting pilots into larger projects, and embedding those projects within existing programs or inventing new ones within the national security space. • As a Mission Development Manager, you will lead execution of a growth strategy for expanding current deployments and developing new national security deployments. • The intended growth trajectory of this role is to develop into a Senior Manager leading a pod or sets of pods to deliver on major growth outcomes within 12-18 months of joining the company.

🎯 Requirements

• 2+ years delivering growth within a technology or products context • Demonstrated ability to convert pilots • Mission domain experience in national security technology • You bring experience and intuition to growing defense product deployments from small-scale pilots into larger projects with the Department of Defense. • You have mission domain expertise in national security technology. • You are hungry to work in a national security startup where you can build a team and drive significant growth through creative approaches, deep understanding of our technologies and their applications to strategic competition with nation states, and relentless ground game.
