Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote
• Employment Type: Full-time
• Salary: Not specified

Vannevar Labs supports people on the front lines by building tools that deter and de-escalate conflict with America's adversaries. We build software and hardware for this mission that enable our customers to maintain maritime vigilance, disrupt misinformation, and collect non-traditional intelligence. In strategic competition, the intelligence and actions that shape conflict occur well before war itself. We build tools to win this fight now.

This mission has become urgent. The US and our allies are fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. As a team, we believe in public service and that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses.

Since our founding in 2019, we have grown to support a wide range of missions and capabilities across all U.S. service branches, multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and the intelligence community. We have been profitable since 2021, and are backed by investors including General Catalyst, DFJ Growth, Point72, Costanoa, and Felicis.

About the role:

We're looking for a Senior Growth to pursue go-to market strategies and deliver major growth outcomes at Vannevar. This position is aligned to one of our greenfield growth initiatives and includes significant scope and responsibilities.

We're looking for someone who brings experience and intuition growing defense product deployments from small-scale pilots into larger projects with the Department of Defense or other departments in the federal government. Growth strategists know how to launch foothold pilots, convert pilots into larger projects, and embed those projects within existing programs or invent new ones within the national security space.

We're looking for someone who has firsthand experience fielding new technology and is committed to getting better tools into the hands of American servicemen and women. They can creatively problem solve around roadblocks to do so, and catalyze organizational change, if necessary. They are curious, visionary, and determined.

We believe that a necessary foundation for the ability to sell and build programs is domain expertise in national security technology, a sense of urgency, and relentless ground game. If you are successful, you will ultimately lead a business line for Vannevar that delivers on major growth outcomes within 12-18 months of joining the company.
