Job Description:
Vannevar Labs supports people on the front lines by building
tools that deter and de-escalate conflict with America's
adversaries. We build software and hardware for this mission that
enable our customers to maintain maritime vigilance, disrupt
misinformation, and collect non-traditional intelligence. In
strategic competition, the intelligence and actions that shape
conflict occur well before war itself. We build tools to win this
fight now.This mission has become urgent. The US and our allies are
fighting a war of deterrence with woefully outdated technology. As
a team, we believe in public service and that our democracy and
government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into
improving them, including the technology our government uses.Since
our founding in 2019, we have grown to support a wide range of
missions and capabilities across all U.S. service branches,
multiple combatant commands, partner nations, and the intelligence
community. We have been profitable since 2021, and are backed by
investors including General Catalyst, DFJ Growth, Point72,
Costanoa, and Felicis.About the roleWe are looking for a Mission
Success Lead to execute on our deployments and deliver great
technology outcomes to our defense and national security partners

aligned to one of our pods. These pods focus on launching foothold
pilots, converting pilots into larger projects, and embedding those
projects within existing programs or inventing new ones within the
national security space.We're looking for someone who brings
experience and intuition to deploying new defense products with the
Department of Defense. You are a mission domain expert with mission
user experience, intelligence domain knowledge, or military
service. You understand our partners' needs and challenges because
you lived them. You are a motivated problem solver who takes
