## About the role

Mission Leads are customer-facing owners of mission outcomes. You will lead engagements with government stakeholders to identify high-value mission problems, shape pilots and deployments, and turn demonstrated mission value into durable, funded programs.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years owning outcomes in complex customer environments (defense, intelligence, public sector, or similarly regulated domains)
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functionally without consistent guidance
- Strong written and verbal communication, able to synthesize ambiguity into clear plans and execution
- Ability to scope and articulate a solution credibly: connect mission problems to software capabilities and measurable outcomes
- Sufficient technical fluency to partner effectively with Product and Engineering and translate complex concepts into mission-relevant narratives
- Strong operational skills: planning, prioritization, stakeholder management, and follow-through
