Capture Manager

• Lead gate reviews (qualify, pursue, propose, submit) with clear go/no-go criteria and executive sign-off
• Develop win themes and discriminators grounded in Tiberius's actual technical differentiation, not generic value props
• Coordinate black-hat and competitive assessment sessions ahead of major pursuits
• Maintain a live capture pipeline with accurate stage, value, probability, and next-action data
• Work with contracts and finance on pricing strategy and cost-realism for major pursuits

• 5+ years of capture management experience in DoD or IC acquisition environments
• Demonstrated track record of shaping and winning defense programs, from early-stage pursuits through program of record
• Strong understanding of DoD/IC acquisition pathways: FAR/DFARS, OTAs, SBIR/STTR, MTA, IDIQ, and program-of-record transitions
• Experience building and negotiating teaming agreements with primes, subs, and industry partners
• Excellent relationship-building skills across government, industry, and internal technical stakeholders
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort presenting to senior government and executive audiences
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment with minimal structure, building process as you go

• Prior military service or direct experience supporting a DoD or IC program office
• Active or recent TS/SCI clearance, or eligibility to obtain one
• Experience capturing opportunities in fires, precision munitions, autonomy, or related weapons-systems domains
• APMP Capture Practitioner Certification or equivalent
• Experience at an early-stage or high-growth defense-tech company, not only a traditional prime
• Familiarity with Salesforce or a comparable CRM for pipeline tracking

• A relationship-first operator who builds trust with program offices long before an RFP exists
• Someone who can hold both the big picture (program-of-record strategy) and the granular (teaming agreements, pricing input, proposal compliance)
• A collaborative leader who can pull engineering, program, and executive stakeholders into a single pursuit without needing formal authority to do it
• Comfortable being the first Capture Manager in the building
• Bias for action balanced with the discipline to walk away from a bad-fit pursuit

This role provides the opportunity to build the capture function for a rapidly growing aerospace and defense company from the ground up, working directly with the cofounders to convert Tiberius's technical roadmap into a funded pipeline of programs of record.
