  • Advise internal stakeholders on significant opportunities, market trends, customer priorities, and strategic growth areas
  • Support negotiation and execution of strategic business opportunities directly with government customers and through prime, subcontractor, and teaming relationships
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen Quantum Space’s capture processes, business development discipline, and win probability

What It Takes

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in capture management, business development, sales, program management, engineering, or related roles
  • Proven record of developing and capturing new business for a high-technology, aerospace, defense, or product-based company
  • Strong understanding of federal market needs, customer challenges, government acquisition processes, and competitive capture environments
  • Ability to understand customer requirements, mission needs, operational concepts, and detailed technical solutions
  • Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Experience working closely with engineers, systems architects, program managers, proposal teams, business development leaders, and executives
  • Strong presentation, communication, relationship-building, and customer engagement skills
  • Ability to develop account plans, capture plans, win strategies, and actionable business development plans
  • Strong organizational, project management, and follow-through skills
  • Ability to manage multiple strategic pursuits, stakeholders, and deadlines simultaneously

Why it works

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.
