VP of Product Strategy & Positioning
Xplor- Full Time

Candidates should possess a track record of creatively scoping ambiguous problems, demonstrating the ability to generate strong hypotheses when faced with uncertainty, and exhibiting grit and creativity to persevere through roadblocks. Success in working problems to conclusion and employing diverse approaches until a solution is achieved is also required, along with experience in either national security or the general private sector.
The Mission Strategist will identify important mission problems with users, continuously adjusting hypotheses based on new information, and solving these problems to generate meaningful mission outcomes through collaboration with user groups, domain expertise, and leveraging Vannevar’s products or developing new ones with the engineering team. They will develop a thesis for a broader program, create a compelling mission pitch with demos, and partner with the business development team to secure program deals through customer engagement and excitement.
Advanced data collection for national security
Vannevar Labs enhances national security by providing advanced data collection and analysis tools primarily for government agencies and defense contractors. Their main product, Decrypt, simplifies the process of gathering public data from hard-to-reach sources while ensuring secure and anonymous data collection. This platform decentralizes data collection, pulling information from various global sources without requiring user interaction, using layered obfuscation methods to protect data integrity and user identities. Decrypt's open architecture allows for quick integration with other applications, making it adaptable to various needs. Vannevar Labs operates on a subscription-based model, charging clients for access to Decrypt, which ensures a steady revenue stream. The company's goal is to leverage technology to improve national security and maintain its reputation as a trusted provider in the defense sector.
