About The Position

As a Mission Manager, you will own pilot implementations and work directly with customers to deploy, adapt, and validate LMI solutions in operational environments. You will lead deployments, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure solutions deliver measurable value in the field, while managing evolving requirements, real-world constraints, and changing stakeholder needs. You will guide pilots toward enterprise-scale implementation by capturing and synthesizing customer feedback, usage patterns, and operational insights. You will use those findings to inform solution improvements, strengthen adoption, and support expansion decisions. The role combines hands-on operational execution with strategic partnership to drive immediate results and shape how solutions scale across customers. LMI is developing RFID, GPS tagging, and sensor-mesh solutions for mission-critical Department of Defense operations. The company describes itself as a digital solutions provider focused on accelerating government impact through commercial-grade platforms, mission-ready AI, federal deployment expertise, and collaboration across the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors. LMI is headquartered in Tysons, Virginia.
