Job Description

Role: Account Executive/ BD Manager— DoD (Air Force & Army)

Company: Arch Systems

Client: DoD

Location: Remote

Type: Full-time

 

About the Role

We’re seeking a proactive Business Development (BD) Manager laser‐focused on the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army markets. This role requires deep, existing relationships and an immediately activatable AF/Army pipeline so you can hit the ground running on Day 1. You will expand our footprint across key portfolios (e.g., AFLCMC/AFMC/ACC; Army PEO EIS/PEO C3T/Army Futures Command/NETCOM), shaping demand early and converting it into qualified pursuits. You will own early-stage opportunity shaping through capture handoff, orchestrating cross-functional teams (solutions, pricing, contracts) to qualify, pursue, and win. Occasional cross-service coordination may be required when AF/Army missions intersect with DISA, DHA, and CDAO initiatives.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

Market Strategy & Planning

Build and continually refine an Air Force & Army GTM plan tied to annual bookings targets and OKRs.

Segment the market by portfolio/program (AFLCMC product lines; AFMC sustainment/innovation ; ACC ops; PEO EIS enterprise apps; PEO C3T network/mission command; AFC experimentation; NETCOM zero trust).

Account Plans: for each priority org, document missions, FY POM/BES context, decision cycles, influencers, current primes, gaps, and must‐win pursuits; update quarterly.

Calling Campaigns: monthly call trees with named contacts, objectives, and crisp talk tracks mapped to our capabilities and the customer’s pain points.

Pipeline Hygiene: enforce stage exit criteria, probability rules of thumb, and close dates that match procurement calendars.

 

Opportunity Identification & Qualification

Sensing: monitor AFWERX/SBIR/STTR topics, BAAs/BICs, OTAs/consortia (NSTXL, S2MARTS), and task‐order vehicles (GSA MAS, OASIS+, CIO‐SPx, SEWP, Alliant) for AF/Army‐relevant buys.

Qualification: run structured Gate reviews (MQL→SQL→Pursuit→Capture) using ICD (Issue–Customer–Differentiation) and BCS (Budget–Champion–Sponsor) checks.

Competitive Intel: maintain a living competitor matrix (incumbents, primes, subs, price posture, strengths/weaknesses, likely solution angles).

Voice of Customer: document problem statements, success criteria, and evaluation hot buttons (LPTA vs. Best Value, technical discriminators, past performance fit).

Bid/No‐Bid: crisp decisions with rationale, gaps, and action items to close gaps within two weeks.

 

Customer Engagement

Relationship Maps: identify decision makers, technical evaluators, small business offices, and KO/KO reps across AFLCMC/AFMC/ACC and PEO EIS/PEO C3T/AFC/NETCOM.

Meetings that Matter: schedule and lead capability briefings, tech exchanges, lab demos, and site visits; publish agendas, meeting notes, and next steps in CRM within 24 hours.

Shaping: align messaging to AF/Army priorities—JADC2/ABMS enablers, Zero Trust, Data/CDAO initiatives, Digital Engineering/MBSE, Cloud/DevSecOps, Edge AI/ML.

Artifacts: problem–solution one‐pagers, demo scripts, and ROI back‐of‐the‐envelope models tailored to each program office.

 

Capture Leadershi p

Strategy: define win themes, discriminators, and ghost‐the‐competition tactics; maintain a written Capture Plan for every Pursuit≥$5M TCV.

Teaming: secure NDAs/TAs; set workshare targets; assign color‐team reviewers; negotiate and track partner commitments (past performance, key personnel, tech components).

PTW (Price‐to‐Win): coordinate competitive pricing hypotheses and sensitivity bands; align staffing models with evaluation criteria.

Readiness: drive RFI/SS responses that pre‐position features, CLIN structures, and evaluation language favorable to our approach.

 

Partnerships & Ecosystem

Prime Relationships: maintain at least three active primes in each theater (AF and Army) with defined pursuit roles and mutual pipeline sharing.

Tech Alliances: cloud (Azure/AWS), OEM cyber/zero‐trust stacks, data/AI platforms; co‐market via joint webinars, white papers, and lab demos.

Socio‐economic Strategy: cultivate niche smalls for scorecard lift and mission fit; ensure compliance with limitations on subcontracting.

 

Reporting & KPIs

Weekly Rhythm: pipeline delta, stage conversions, risk log, customer touches, and next‐2‐weeks call plan.

Forecast Integrity: probability, ARR/TCV math, aging; alignment to appropriation types and FY timing.

Quality Bar: every opportunity has an owner, capture plan, meeting notes ≤7 days old, and clearly defined next step.

 

Qualifications| Required

 

  • 6–9+ years in Federal BD with 6 years specifically in Air Force and/or Army BD, covering both new business and recompetes.
  • Experienced in selling IT products and solutions, managing end-to-end sales from lead generation to closure.

  • Relationships across Air Force MAJCOMs/centers (e.g., AFLCMC, AFMC, ACC) and/or Army PEOs/commands (e.g., PEO EIS, PEO C3T, Army Futures Command, NETCOM).
