Sovereign is autonomy software for drones that runs on the aircraft, sees what. Backed by Air Street.
About the role
We have been founder-led on capture and proposals since 2021. You will be our first dedicated Capture & Propose hire. You own each proposal from bid/no-bid through submission: capture plan, compliance matrix, schedule, color teams, and coordinating cost volume with finance. Engineers will write the technical sections with you. You’ll build and maintain a living library of past performance and boilerplate so we reuse what already works. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years in capture, proposals, or government business development at a defense, dual-use, hardware, or deep-tech company
- Experience managing government proposals from the decision to bid through submission
- Experience writing RFI and RFP responses, white papers, and proposals for SBIRs, OTAs, CSOs, BAAs, or FAR/DFARS solicitations
- Experience managing deadlines, compliance matrices, and color team reviews
- Understanding of DoW acquisition and how to structure proposals, including past performance and win themes
- Ability to turn technical input from engineers and founders into clear, compliant proposals without overstating the product
More about this role
Artificial intelligence is changing war - making decisions in combat quicker and more accurate, while enabling information to be shared more rapidly across both America’s and her adversaries’ militaries. Modern Intelligence builds Sovereign, the first defense-purpose foundation AI for unmanned systems, to be the standard battlefield AI on every Western unmanned system. Today, Sovereign allows drones as varied as unmanned vessels on water to backpack attack quadcopters to see, decide, and act even when jammed. We believe the responsibility of reliably and ethically building lethally autonomous AI is immense to our service members, the American people, and civilians everywhere.
Modern Intelligence has worked with partners across the Department of War including the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, and countless unmanned systems hardware companies.
We have raised more than $22M in venture capital from Exponential, Oxford Funds, Bedrock, Vine Ventures, Contrary, Air Street, Caffeinated, Champion Hill, Swell, Myelin, and others.
