  • Plan and execute a vision for building long-term relationships with your US government customers, including shaping and assisting in the capture of follow-on opportunities beyond the current contract.
  • Be deeply versed in HE360’s technical capabilities and data and their specific mission value to your customer, and “roll up your sleeves” to do the hands-on work to ensure mission success.
  • Ensure the long-term viability of your program by understanding and developing the US government requirements base related to your program via engagement from end-users to acquisition.
  • Collaborate with Sales/BD in the capture of new business adjacent to existing programs and contracts.
  • Build trust with US government counterparts and the contractors that support them.
  • Build integrations of HE360 data into US government workflows.
  • Develop and sustain trusted, collaborative, and positive working relationships with internal colleagues, customer management, and other partners;

  • Exceptional organizational skills.
  • A willingness to commit to 80% in-person work at some combination of HE360 offices, leased secure facilities, and customer sites. Although this position allows for occasional remote work, it is predominantly an “on-site” position.
  • A mix of technical, operational and programmatic wherewithal sufficient to own all program management processes.
