The posting

Job Description

At SAIC, we are transforming the future of national security, defense, space, intelligence, and civilian mission outcomes. The SAIC Growth Organization is the engine driving our enterprise expansion, responsible for identifying, pursuing, and winning multibillion-dollar, mission-critical federal contracts.

As a Strategic Growth & Capture Intern, you won't just observe—you will play an active role in shaping how SAIC brings cutting-edge solutions to government clients. You will embed directly alongside seasoned Business Development (BD) executives, Capture Managers, Solution Architects, and Competitive Intelligence analysts. This role offers an immersive, hands-on masterclass in the federal procurement lifecycle, strategic market positioning, competitive counter-solutions, and executive-level proposal development. The internship will be onsite in Reston, VA.

Key Responsibilities

Market Research & Competitive Intelligence:

  • Conduct deep-dive market assessments across defense, space, civilian, and intelligence agency pipelines using federal market tools (e.g., GovWin IQ, SAM.gov, FPDS, USAspending).
  • Assist in developing competitive landscapes, competitor profiles, and "Black Hat" competitive intelligence dossiers (evaluating traditional defense primes and emerging non-traditional defense-tech disruptors).
  • Synthesize findings into executive briefing decks, highlighting customer pain points, budget trajectories, and emerging procurement trends.

Capture Strategy & Pursuit Support

  • Support Capture Managers across pre-award gate milestones (opportunity qualification, solutioning, teaming, and price-to-win reviews).
  • Help craft differentiated value propositions, customer-first win themes, and "Start with Why" mission narratives connecting SAIC technical discriminators to warfighter needs.
  • Collaborate with partner intelligence leads to analyze teaming agreements, subcontractor capabilities, and small business socio-economic utilization strategies.

Proposal Operations & Enablement

  • Participate in proposal stand-up meetings, storyboarding sessions, and color reviews (Pink, Red, and Gold Team reviews).
  • Assist capture teams in building past performance matrices, compliance cross-reference tables, and capability cheat-sheets.
  • Partner with Growth Enablement leads to optimize capture toolkits, template repositories, and pipeline metrics.

Pipeline Analytics & Growth Operations

  • Maintain and audit pursuit health data within our CRM platform (Microsoft Dynamics 365).
  • Help build and maintain Power BI dashboards tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) including qualified pipeline value, win rate (Pwin), bookings forecast, and Bid & Proposal (B&P) spend.

Capstone Project

  • Research, develop, and present a high-visibility Growth Capstone Project to SAIC Growth leadership and Business Group Growth Officers at the conclusion of the internship.

Qualifications

Candidate Qualifications:

  • Current college student with two or more years of coursework in a business-related major
  • U.S. Citizenship required
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint; comfortable working with data and presentations
  • Strong analytical, research, and written communication skills
  • Demonstrated organization, teamwork, and/or leadership experience
  • Self-starter with the ability to adapt to changing priorities and deadlines
  • Interest in federal government, defense, space, or intelligence markets is a plus

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.
