Operations Lead

Infinity Labs • Colorado Springs, CO

9d • Onsite

About The Position

Managing a growing and dynamic business operation in a competitive defense ecosystem requires one to be a jack of all trades and, as the situation dictates, master of some. You should be an accomplished plate spinner, torch juggler, and task master all at the same time. You are expected to engage stakeholders, acquire new customers, shovel in leads to fill the Sales pipeline while executing and supporting your team, project execution, and supporting government mission partners. Part lion, part cheetah, part orca (don’t attempt the math there); our PhDs assure us this is the correct formula for an optimal Operations Lead. Trust the science! This job is for doers, not sit-and-relaxers. If you’re looking for a 9-5, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a challenge where you’ll expand your abilities across one of the most diverse and complex environments in defense, this job is for you. Personal prosperity, market domination, and glory await you today as an Operations Lead at Infinity Labs. Infinity Labs is an innovation-focused company with expertise in modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A), research and development (R&D), cyber operational technology, and training. Our project portfolio is exceptionally broad and encompasses a wide spectrum of physical scale and applications (e.g., materials, components, subsystems, platforms, and system of systems). We integrate science and systems as part of our overall solutioning approach and investigate advanced concepts and technologies with disruptive application potential.
