What they're looking for
- Demonstrated experience working within or alongside software development teams, familiarity with Agile processes, DevSecOps concepts, or system integration is a significant asset
- Exceptional attention to detail, particularly in written and structured artifacts. You catch what others miss. This matters in contract language, proposal content, and customer deliverables
- Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can write a crisp executive summary, draft a capability brief, and hold a room in front of a program office, adjusting register and depth as the audience requires
- Strategic thinking paired with discipline and follow-through. You can zoom out to see the business angle and zoom in to execute on the detail without losing track of either
- Assertive and confident in pushing ideas forward, with strong situational awareness about when to advocate and when to adapt. You read the room without being told to
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity. Raft's environment is fast, iterative, and often under-defined. You stabilize situations rather than waiting for clarity to arrive
