The posting

Innoviz Technologies supplies safety-critical, high-performance LiDAR solutions to the automotive market, enabling autonomous robotaxis, self-driving trucks, and assisted driving systems in consumer vehicles. Recently, we expanded into transportation and security markets to enable intelligent intersection management, highway monitoring, automated tolling, and protection of critical infrastructure such as airports, power plants, data centers, and more. Now, we’re expanding into the defense market to equip AGVs and UGVs for autonomous missions within the military and bring laser-based counter-UAS (cUAS) solutions to protect our warfighters from rapidly evolving drone threats.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual-starter mindset to join our business team in North America and help convert a growing list of defense sector leads into sales and revenue. Reporting to the VP of Sales North America, your mission would be to identify, develop, and advance opportunities across multiple defense organizations, including the US Air Force, US Marine Corps, US Navy, and US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), as well as industry partners.

Responsibilities:

  • Represent Innoviz in defense customer meetings and build strong relationships with decision makers and senior leadership
  • Attend key defense trade shows including AUSA, Sea Air Space, SOF Week, Modern Day Marine, and cUAS Summit to expand Innoviz’s defense funnel through partners and sales channels
  • Maintain visibility into the overall DoW pipeline and provide business development updates, defense market intelligence, and strategic recommendations to Innoviz HQ, including opportunities that span multiple services, commands, and programs across the DoW
  • Schedule road shows to conduct onsite sales pitches leveraging Innoviz’s field engineers for product demonstrations at customer sites including the DoW’s preferred test locations (White Sands, Parsons cUAS of Excellence, Richmond cUAS Testbed, Pendleton UAS Range, Yuma Proving Grounds, etc)
  • Provide defense market feedback to product development teams at Innoviz HQ to impact the roadmap and future innovations while monitoring DoW priorities, budgets, grants, acquisition activities, technology requirements, and competitive trends
  • Negotiate long-term contracts, product pricing, payment terms, and annual support packages with private defense customers and federal agencies in the end-to-end deal cycle
  • Manage key account information in Salesforce including meeting notes, key contacts, qualified opportunities, revenue forecast, and distributor information to track sales from capture to closure
  • Collaborate with Innoviz marketing team to influence messaging, social media posts, and press releases for the defense ecosystem

Requirements

  • Must be located in the DC Metropolitan Area (Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, or Maryland)
  • Must be a U.S. citizen
  • Must have an existing security clearance (Secret, Top Secret, or higher)
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Business, Engineering, Physics, or related field
  • 7+ years of experience selling high-tech products with a strong understanding of DoW acquisition, procurement, budgeting, and contracting processes
  • Willingness to travel (up to 30%) within US & Canada and 1-2 trips to Israel (HQ) per year

What We Need to See:

  • Familiarity with existing C2 systems such as Lattice, CoT, XML, etc
  • Familiarity with sensing devices used in the defense sector such as acoustics, sonar, cameras, thermal, night vision, radars, and/or lidars
  • Strong communication skills with a structured problem-solving mindset to quickly identify hurdles in the sales cycle
  • Broad network and established relationships with decision makers across DoW and defense community

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Prior BD experience for cUAS solutions, including sensors and/or effectors, including electronic warfare
  • Prior BD experience for sensing & compute technologies for AGVs / UGVs
  • Strong technical foundation in optronics components, including lasers & detectors (VCSELs, EELs, Fiber Lasers, SPAD, SiPM, APD, etc)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
