## About the role

You will own the execution of Icarus's revenue pipeline. You will find opportunities and carry them through capture, submission, award paperwork, and follow-on contracting — the same person who identifies a solicitation sees it through to signed contract. You will represent Icarus in front of the customers, partners, congressional stakeholders, and investors who fund our mission. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Exceptional written communication: able to turn engineer inputs into compliant, compelling proposal prose on deadline
- Demonstrated fluency with AI tools in daily work — prompt-driven drafting, research, and workflow automation — and an instinct to systematize rather than repeat manual tasks
- Strong interpersonal presence: comfortable and credible in front of senior military, government, congressional, and investor audiences
- Highly organized, deadline-driven, and self-directed, thrives with ownership and ambiguity
