THE ROLE

We are seeking a Senior Manager of Army Business Development to help drive Privateer’s growth across the U.S. Army and aligned Department of Defense customers. This role will shape and execute growth strategies that connect Privateer’s differentiated capabilities to high-priority national security missions, with an initial focus on PAE-Maneuver, Army Aviation, UAS/C-UAS, PAE Fires, and the Huntsville market, while identifying opportunities to expand into adjacent mission areas, acquisition organizations, and defense markets.

• Develop deep customer intimacy by maintaining continuous engagement with current and prospective Army customers and understanding their mission priorities, organizational structures, acquisition strategies, programmatic roadmaps, and technical needs.
• Build and manage a qualified opportunity pipeline by monitoring customer buying cycles, identifying emerging requirements, assessing market potential, and prioritizing opportunities based on strategic and revenue impact.
