Vice President, Capture Excellence, Defense Sector

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Capture Excellence to lead strategic capture efforts across its defense portfolio, with particular focus on the most complex, high-value opportunities. The role combines hands-on capture leadership with oversight, coaching, and quality assurance across priority pursuits. Responsibilities include developing capture strategies and customer engagement plans, building pursuit teams, shaping value propositions and win themes, and guiding opportunities from qualification through award. The Vice President will also manage capture budgets, lead reviews and lessons-learned activities, respond to rapid-turnaround opportunities, and brief senior leadership on capture status and strategy. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in a related field and at least 15 years of relevant experience; equivalent federal capture leadership experience may substitute for the degree. A strong record of winning large defense-sector opportunities, experience leading and coaching dispersed teams, and familiarity with defense customer communities and acquisition pathways are required. Applicants should bring deep knowledge of federal acquisition regulations, contract types, pricing, proposal development, and capture processes, along with excellent communication, problem-solving, and executive briefing skills. Experience with government budgeting, formal capture training, and established defense capture methodologies is preferred; a high-level security clearance is desirable but not required.
