About The Job

What You’ll Do

• Generate and capture opportunities in the Middle East. This will involve significant international travel, trade show coordination, and deep understanding and responsibility for representing country specific budget cycles. The BD team is ultimately responsible for growing revenue. Specifically, this role will focus on building business for Anduril’s Middle East portfolio. Success will be achieved by developing a deep understanding of the existing and prospective customer base, knowing the current or planned programmatic and technical roadmaps, and being cognizant of the competitive landscape. This expertise will inform capture strategies, revenue forecasts, and aid in technology development plans. Tactically, you will manage continuous engagements with current and future clients, generate growth strategies, and monitor buying cycles for opportunities, and lead specific proposal and capture efforts.
• Develop capture strategies. Provide cohesive business plans and execution models that outline acquisition plans, create clear alignment to investment strategies, and drive towards program of record execution. Success will be achieved by engaging key stakeholders to shape requirements, identifying and securing relevant funding, and developing compelling win themes and supplier strategies for competitive captures.
• Grow existing business. While the primary role will be shaping and capturing new business, a successful candidate will represent all Business Lines across Anduril’s portfolio.
