New Mission Systems Director

About the Role:

• Shape long-cycle opportunities across PEOs and major program offices.
• Bring first-hand experience on how programs are built, funded, fielded, integrated, and sustained.
• Guide how we shape requirements, build relevance early, and position Vannevar to win large, durable programs.

What You’ll Do:

• Identify where and how Vannevar can meaningfully support programs—whether through capability gaps, integration challenges, or modernization timelines.
• Inform long-range strategy around $25M–$50M+ programs, major new starts, re-competes, and technical upgrade cycles.
• Strengthen pipeline visibility & predictability.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong network across program offices, technical authorities, warfare centers, primes, and integrators.
• Experience partnering closely with industry or evaluating industry proposals—able to guide strategy, shaping, and competitive positioning from the government perspective.
• Desire to help shape something new, with comfort operating in ambiguity and a bias toward action.
