Growth Lead - US Federal Agencies

CHAOS Industries • Columbia, WA

11d • Onsite

About The Position

This role will drive US federal business by aligning CHAOS’ technical capabilities to operational requirements at non-DOD departments and agencies. This role is specifically targeting the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and Department of Transportation, but will overlap and intersect with intelligence and defense activities. The ideal candidate will have a detailed understanding of the security requirements, the operational environment, strategic plans, and how one “gets stuff done” within these organizations. Rest assured, no two days will be the same. Be hungry - this role requires strong initiative to learn, drive, and deliver outcomes while building a business line and the team around you.

Requirements

• Intimate knowledge of the US national security landscape : Strategies, capability gaps, and where to go/who to ask to learn what you don’t.
• Acquisition Understanding : Proven experience in federal acquisition, budgeting process, and requirements generation.
• Program/Project Management : Proven experience in developing requirements, scoping programs, and delivering to customers in the federal government.
• Enjoy getting your hands dirty – literally : CHAOS is an engineering-first company with a hardware component. This role will involve getting hands-on hardware in the field with customers.
• Risk tolerance : We intend to go with our customers to where they need us most to deliver.
• Location and Travel : Washington, DC, with regular domestic and occasional international travel, up to 10 days per month. Travel likely exceeds 10 days per month during the first 90-180 days.

• Navigation and partnership . There is a way to get things done - process, money, acquisition, advocacy, and execution. This role will develop the strategy and lead the work. Success in this role will make CHAOS the customer’s most trusted partner.
• Get out of the o ffice . Be where the customer needs us, either in Washington or in the field. Learn and build trust through high-touch engagements. This is your hunting license.
