Responsibilities

- Enable the GTM leads. Provide templates, playbooks, data, competitive inputs, cost and schedule inputs, and cross-functional access needed to build and execute their capture plan.
- Synchronize across company functions. Ensure engineering, product, export, legal, contracts, finance, government relations, and business operations share a single prioritized international campaign plan.
- Map the U.S. Government and approval critical path. Maintain enterprise view of FMS, DCS, and hybrid pathways and translate them into country-level timelines for GTM leads.
- Surface conflicts between campaigns. Identify where campaigns compete for resources and provide executive recommendations.
- Drive executive decision quality. Run operating cadence, risk registers, dashboards, and provide decision-ready information for resource allocation.
- Scale the discipline. Capture lessons learned into repeatable tools, templates, metrics, and playbooks.
- Support a culture of accountability, urgency, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
- 12+ years in international B2G capture management, program management, strategic operations, business operations, technical program management, or equivalent cross-functional leadership.

- Deep operational rigor in schedules, critical path, milestones, action tracking, dependency management, and risk mitigation.
- Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-changing environments across multiple time zones.
