Vendor Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 4–7 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, or business operations at a high-growth technology or defense company
• Demonstrated track record of owning and driving cross-functional projects from problem definition through execution, with measurable outcomes
• Strong analytical and structured thinking skills — comfortable building financial models, frameworks, and board-level presentations from scratch
• Experience evaluating and implementing business software and systems (CRM, ERP, project tracking, BI tools, or similar)
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complex information into clear, concise outputs for executive audiences
• U.S. Person status required for access to ITAR-controlled environments

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience at a defense technology company, dual-use startup, or company with government contracting as a meaningful part of the business
• MBA or equivalent advanced degree, or demonstrated equivalent through career trajectory
• Experience supporting company expansion decisions — office locations, entity structuring, market entry analysis
• Familiarity with business compliance requirements in a defense or government-adjacent context (ITAR, CMMC, FAR/DFARS exposure a plus)
• Experience with tools commonly used at defense tech companies (e.g., Deltek, Unanet, Salesforce, or equivalent GovCon-oriented platforms)

Responsibilities

• Lead high-priority strategic and operational initiatives end-to-end — from problem definition and analysis through recommendation and implementation — working across functions to drive decisions that wouldn't otherwise happen cleanly
• Facilitate Picogrid's internal business operations infrastructure: evaluate, select, and implement the tools and systems the company runs on (CRM, project management, compliance platforms, business intelligence tools, and more), ensuring each investment is right-sized for our current stage
• Build and maintain the operating mechanisms that keep Picogrid aligned and accountable — business tracking dashboards, leadership reporting, and the cadences that surface the right information at the right time
• Support company development strategy on high-impact questions: where Picogrid opens new offices, how we structure key vendor and partner relationships, what our organizational model should look like as headcount scales
• Drive internal process improvements across functions — identifying operational bottlenecks and compliance gaps, designing better workflows, and seeing them through to adoption
• Own compliance coordination for internal business operations — ensuring Picogrid's policies, processes, and systems keep pace with regulatory, contractual, and organizational requirements as the company grows

Benefits

• Significant stock options with high potential upside as an early-stage company
• 401(k) with employer matching
• Full health coverage (medical, dental, and vision insurance)
• Relocation assistance provided (if applicable)
• Unlimited PTO (two-week minimum) and 11 paid holidays per year
• Paid parental leave for both parents
• Lunch provided when working in-office and a fully stocked kitchenette
