Summary Generated by Built In

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, Peregrine helps public safety organizations, state and local and governments, federal agencies, and private-sector institutions address society’s challenges with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our AI-enabled platform turns siloed and disconnected data into operational intelligence — instantly surfacing mission-critical information to empower better, faster decisions that improve outcomes at every touchpoint. Today Peregrine supports hundreds of customers across 30+ states and two countries, serving more than 125 million people — and we’re amplifying our impact as we expand into the enterprise and internationally. 

The Role

The person in this role will help position Peregrine inside some of the most important missions in our federal government — shaping opportunities early, leading capture strategy, and writing proposals that win and define the company’s long-term impact. If you enjoy operating at the intersection of mission, strategy, and execution, this role offers outsized ownership and visibility across Peregrine’s leadership, product teams, and Federal partners.

This role offers the chance to help shape Peregrine’s Federal business at a formative stage. The work you lead will influence what programs we pursue, how we compete, and how we grow across the Federal ecosystem.
