The National Security Innovation Network is building a unit focused on connecting with private capital, DoD prime contractors, contract, and subcontract opportunities, as well as large major command equivalent DOD customers. We are seeking an experienced professional that will work directly with the Transition Cell Lead and the Venture Portfolio Director at NSIN to build relationships with national security-oriented and dual-use private capital sources and institutional investors, large prime contractors and assist the lead in work with Department of Defense customers. The Transition Cell works specifically to provide support for early-stage ventures groups that are formed during, or participated in, NSIN programs. Oftentimes, these are pre-seed companies that need guidance to navigate the venture capital and federal contracting spaces to move from being a team with a concept to becoming a company with a prototype. This role will provide ongoing programmatic support and private capital network building to the Transition Cell Lead and the Venture Portfolio Director at NSIN. The SME will receive task prioritization and project focus guidance on a recurrent weekly meeting.
