About Onebrief

Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. By transforming this work, Onebrief makes the staff as a whole superhuman - meaning faster, smarter, and more efficient.

We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.

Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $123m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $1.1B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.

About the Role


As an essential member of our internal operations team, you will provide executive support for our Head of Government Relations, including complex calendar and correspondence management and successful coordination of high profile business meetings. You’ll be the go-to liaison between your executive and both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring they’re prepared with the right information at the right time. A professional problem solver and organizational whiz, you're confident exercising independent judgment in the resolution of administrative problems.

While this is a remote-friendly role, you may be asked to provide in-person support for key meetings and functions in the D.C. area, which could occur outside of regular business hours.

About You

You’re exceptionally organized, tech-savvy, and pride yourself on being able to anticipate exactly what your executive will need before they’ve asked you for it. You view your role as a support force multiplier: your executive can trust you to take care of the details so they can focus their time and attention where it will have the greatest impact. You’re a great communicator, and build strong relationships both within and outside of the organization.
You understand the nature of government relations requires support outside of regular business hours, and fluctuates depending on the time of year.

What You’ll Do
  • Manage a complex and dynamic calendar, ensuring priorities are met and schedules are optimized

  • Ensure executive’s preparedness for meetings (e.g., assemble meeting materials, presentations, preparatory reviews with key stakeholders)

  • Handle sensitive correspondence and communications (emails, calls, visitors) on behalf of the Head of Government Relations, prioritizing urgent matters and drafting responses that align with their voice

  • Keep priorities on track, align stakeholders, surface blockers early, and simplify decision‑making

  • Elevate team operations by simplifying and systematizing processes

  • Coordinate travel, ensuring flights, accommodations and itineraries are optimized

  • Provide hands‑on assistance with special projects and research tasks as needed

  • Maintain the highest level of confidentiality, using discretion and diplomacy in sensitive situations

What We Look For
  • Exceptional organization, prioritization, and time management; comfortable juggling multiple competing priorities

  • Excellent judgment and discretion, with a strong sense of ownership and initiative

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills to effectively represent the executive and the company to outside parties; ability to build trust across teams and stakeholders

  • Technical proficiency in G-Suite, Slack, and internal collaboration tools like Notion, with a track record of creating organizational tools and processes

  • Prior experience in a similar role and environment (rapidly-growing startup); comfortable with autonomy and momentum

What We Do

Before Onebrief, military planning and collaboration was slow, inefficient, and resource-intensive. Building slides with no version control as partners collaborated would have staffs spend weeks or months on a single product or document.

With Onebrief, these workflows are now simple and collaboration between large commands is efficient. Staff optimization is the key to building a more resilient, more effective military. Today Onebrief users report at least 2x time savings - and growing.

Onebrief is a first of its kind software for the military. While many others have tried to build a solution for this problem, Onebrief’s “card” structure for reusing data and enabling real time updates is what makes this possible. Core features and attributes that make this platform powerful include:
- Global Collaboration
- Real-Time Updates
- AI Automation
- Interoperability + Integrations
- Deployable across Secret and Top Secret Networks

Mission Driven

Onebrief is composed of professionals from backgrounds of all kinds - spanning veterans across forces and organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software giants.

Onebrief is more than just a software platform; it's a mission-driven company dedicated to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of military planning. By joining the team, you'll contribute to solutions that directly support national security and the work of service members.

Your work directly addresses critical challenges that military planners and operators face daily. Every line of code and every design decision contributes to real-world outcomes.

The software was designed and built by a team of experienced planners - lending a nuanced perspective on the challenges our partners face. Our team embeds alongside users - from
the Pentagon to the Indo-Pacific - to build a platform that meets their unique needs.

Rapid, Strategic Growth

Our users love the platform and growth is scaling, most recently reporting operational usage growth at a 19,600% annualized rate. Stronger utilization is underway and we’re at an exciting period of advancement.

As a rapidly growing organization, you'll directly influence its direction and long-term success. Over the past year we’ve seen exciting growth metrics:

First, our headcount has grown 150% YoY to keep pace with our product advancement and customer growth.

Our funding has skyrocketed, most recently raising our Series C, led by top-tier venture investors who have deep expertise in defense tech.

Why Work With Us

Impactful Transformation

At Onebrief, we believe optimizing the military staff is the most impactful thing - on a per-dollar basis - in defense tech right now. This has the potential to save the department of defense billions of dollars and save users countless hours. It’s a longstanding problem that we’re uniquely positioned to solve.
