Capture and Proposal Manager

Modern Intelligence is seeking a Capture and Proposal Strategist to drive opportunities for our go-to-market team in the national security space to include applications in intelligence, defense, and other Federal Government mission areas.

Modern Intelligence leverages proprietary advances in information and complexity theory to build holistic “One Artificial Intelligence (AI)” solutions for defense. We are easing the burden to assess activity in the maritime domain at scale and automating the ability to understand the operating environment.

We’re looking for an experienced and innovative capture and proposal professional to play a crucial role in our development efforts to expand our reach across the DoD and IC. You’ll leverage your domain expertise by developing and executing strategy for new customer acquisition and authoring powerful proposals and market research insights that influence and win contracts. 

You’ll lead a cross-functional process while maintaining the autonomy to triage competing priorities across multiple lines of effort. You will use your eye for detail, creativity, adaptability, writing, and communication skills to convey our capabilities and value proposition to potential customers. We are looking for a utility player who can own and shepherd a business development opportunity from idea to delivery and is comfortable working in a highly technical and fast-moving environment.

As an early hire, you will have the opportunity and active encouragement to grow into leadership and supervisory roles as the company grows and expands.
