About The Position

We are hiring a Defense Growth Lead to drive Veilant's expansion within the Army market. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role designed for someone who understands how Army organizations actually operate and knows how to establish early technical pilots and turn them into scalable, enduring programs. Priority account areas include Army commands, program offices, and service components with a need for communications security and counter-UTS capabilities. This is not transactional sales. It is relationship-driven growth in high-trust environments where mission intimacy and technical credibility are the primary levers for success. You will be joining a specialized growth team that values technical depth and organizational insights over slick pitches, with the autonomy to solve hard problems and the backing of a world-class technical team.

• A background in network communications, cyber operations, or technical services sufficient to maintain credibility with technical stakeholders.

• Willingness to travel frequently to key Army locations and mission hubs.

• Represent Veilant at industry forums, private briefings, and technical demonstrations.
• Support RFI and RFP responses with market intelligence and competitive positioning.
• Travel frequently to key mission hubs to meet with customers and partners.
