Role Description As a Mission Manager, you will serve as a senior mission-facing leader responsible for driving program-based adoption of Vannevar Labs’ technology within government program offices. This is a highly autonomous role that requires deep mission credibility, strong technical intuition, and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, early-stage program environments. What you’ll do - Lead engagements with program offices (PEOs, PMWs, PMOs, and equivalent organizations) to identify mission problems that Vannevar Labs’ technology can solve. - Translate program needs into technical narratives, clearly explaining how our software and agent-based capabilities map to requirements, constraints, and outcomes. - Scope and shape program-based pilots, defining objectives, success criteria, timelines, and pathways to scale. - Pitch the technology with credibility, leveraging your mission and domain background to build trust with program managers and technical authorities. - Navigate programmatic realities, including requirements development, budgeting cycles, contracting pathways, and stakeholder coordination. - Partner closely with product managers and engineers to ensure mission context is accurately reflected in technical scope, tradeoffs, and delivery plans. - Convert successful pilots into sustained programs, helping program offices justify follow-on funding and broader adoption. - Represent Vannevar Labs within the program ecosystem as a mission-credible, technically fluent partner. Qualifications - 15–20+ years of experience in government or defense missions, typically as a retired O5/O6 or senior enlisted or civilian equivalent. - Deep expertise in a specific mission or technical domain (e.g., cyber, information warfare, ISR, networks, operational intelligence, warfare systems/command and control). - Strong ability to scope, pitch, and sell technical solutions to senior government stakeholders. - Proven experience navigating programmatic realities, including budgets, requirements, authorities, timelines, and stakeholder dynamics. - Sufficient technical fluency to understand modern software systems and agent-based approaches. - Demonstrated scrappiness and bias toward action — comfortable operating in ambiguity and pushing programs forward without perfect structure. - High enthusiasm for building something new and shaping how cutting-edge technology is adopted inside government. - Bonus of having acquisition, resource sponsor, or program manager experience. What we value - Mission-first mindset with a focus on real operational outcomes. - Technical credibility paired with humility — able to learn quickly and ask the right questions. - Clarity and precision in communication, especially with senior leaders. - Ownership mentality — taking responsibility for moving programs from idea to execution. - Low ego, high trust, and comfort collaborating across product, engineering, and mission teams. Benefits - Competitive Salary: The salary range for this position is $180,000 - $220,000 + equity. - Comprehensive Benefits: Health, dental, and vision insurance. - Remote friendly with WeWork access. - Unlimited PTO, shared downtime during the federal holiday calendar, and company-wide off time at the end of each year. - 401(k) match. - Lifestyle & wellbeing stipends. - Salary top-up during military reserve duty. - Fully paid parental leave. - Child and pet care reimbursement during travel.
