Point of discussion during the interview:

As HVF matures as an organization, the SI/BDM role may evolve to include traditional Capture Management. As HVF is predominantly a subcontractor or uses a re-seller, the traditional Capture Management function is not as robust as it might be at a primarily "Prime" systems integrator. The SI/BDM role can help to advise what level of capture management is required for HVF at a given point in its evolution.
