You know how to win - commanding the room as the public face of the campaign while quietly running the disciplined, repeatable system that delivers results then this is your next mission.

As the C5ISR Equipment Support Business Development (BD) “Rainmaker” Federal Strategic Growth Director, you will lead a high-stakes, end-to-end campaign designed to achieve specific strategic outcomes in San Diego, CA. You’ll shape the strategy, select the must-win pursuits, orchestrate cross-functional execution, and drive measurable improvements in PWin, pipeline health, and long-range growth for the C5ISR campaign. This role is for a leader who is relentless about outcomes, thrives in ambiguity, and can rally teams to win in complex government environments. Your success will be measured by the achievement of 3- and 5-year strategic objectives that are underpinned by quarterly and annual campaign actions.

This position is contingent upon your ability to maintain/transfer your Secret clearance

In this role you will:

Lead all aspects of a strategic campaign to deliver defined objectives, including:

Build the campaign strategy grounded in market intelligence, customer budgets, and competitive analysis.

Select and shape the “right-to-win” pursuits - identify pipeline opportunities that will define the campaign and focus resources accordingly.

Drive pursuit excellence in close partnership with Pursuit/Bid Teams - improving PWin through disciplined win strategies, clear value propositions, and competitive positioning.

Own the investment plan required to win; ensuring technical/product inputs, talent, capital, marketing, and bid development needs are met; manage tradeoffs with rigor and transparency.

Set the customer relationship strategy across the campaign; ensure call plans and engagement rhythms are executed and producing outcomes.

Develop campaign branding and messaging with marketing/communications - ensure the campaign narrative is differentiated, credible, and compelling.

Run the operating cadence - regularly update and present campaign strategy, pipeline, investments, risks, and financial outcomes; adjust fast as facts change.

To be successful in this role you will have:

An active DoD Secret security clearance

U.S Citizenship required

A Bachelor's Degree

Minimum 10 years of experience in government contracting (BD/capture/program/operations leadership)

Located in San Diego, or other key target market area (Norfolk, Charleston)

Experience working with political constituents and navigating complex stakeholder ecosystems

Background in Navy C5ISR equipment (modernization, installation, integration and sustainment)

Strong NAVWAR network and connections

Demonstrated innovation and experience with growth automation (tools and workflows)

Leadership Traits We’re Actively Seeking

Relentless, Outcomes-Driven Competitor – you focus on winning, not just activity or process, internalizing success and failure as personal accountability

Strategic Architect and Execution Driver – you can create strategy, as well as translate strategy into wins

Systems Thinker – you are able to create repeatable campaign success

Cross-Functional Integrator and Team Builder – you will live in a matrix and must unify the team toward a single campaign goal
