We're on a mission to deliver the best tech to the people that keep us safe.
The Role

Vannevar Labs builds next generation defense software for the public servants keeping our country safe.  As a team, we exist because we believe in public service, and we think that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses.   

 

This mission has become urgent. Ukraine is engaged in a war for survival with Russia. China regularly flies nuclear-capable bombers into Taiwan and Japan’s airspace. The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. We build software to support these missions, including providing battlefield information to allies, identifying malign activity, and helping the US deter and deescalate conflict.  

 

We are a profitable growth startup with some of the best defense investors in the world, including General Catalyst, DFJ Growth, Point72, and enterprise tech investors Costanoa and Felicis. 

About the role

We are looking for a Deployment Lead to execute on our deployments and deliver great technology outcomes to our defense and national security partners at Vannevar. This position will report to a Mission Success Manager aligned to one of our pods. These pods focus on launching foothold pilots, converting pilots into larger projects, and embedding those projects within existing programs or inventing new ones within the national security space.

You are a motivated problem solver who takes ownership, acts with urgency, and is comfortable with ambiguity. You like a challenge, and you don’t quit.  As a Mission Success Lead, you will execute on the delivery strategy on our current deployments and new footholds as we develop them to deliver unit-changing mission outcomes for our defense partners through the technology we deploy.

  • Provide user support on our technology deployments in the greater DC area. You will partner with mission leads to empower users that need our technology, understand their challenges, and drive deployments of our software in support of their mission.
  • Embed with our partners. You will work side by side with our partners to ensure successful deployment and mission impact.
  • Represent the end user. You will develop mission domain knowledge and use this knowledge to work with our engineering team to build great products that solve critical problems for our partners.
  • Work with the Mission Success team to document user feedback, deliver product feature requests, and create/implement strategies for fulfilling user mission requirements.
  • Sense and shape opportunities for expansion.
What we're looking for
  • 1+ years of private sector experience in a customer or client facing role ideally selling or supporting SaaS software.
  • 3+ years of mission user experience, intelligence domain knowledge, or military service. You understand our partners' needs and challenges because you lived them.
  • A motivated problem solver who takes ownership, acts with urgency, and is comfortable with ambiguity. You like a challenge, and you don’t quit.
  • U.S. Person status is required as this position will require the ability to access U.S. only data systems with the ability to obtain security clearance
  • TS/SCI clearance is required

What We Offer
