Company Description:
We were early to the fight against Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance and we’ve been pushing the edge ever since.
Our mission is to help government and enterprise organizations understand and manage commercial data risks, shape their digital signatures, and operate with confidence in an increasingly complex information landscape. We build and integrate advanced, tech-forward solutions to problems our customers often don’t know they have – until it matters most.
We move fast, think critically, and deliver where it counts.
What’s in it for you?
We work hard and do fun things.
You’ll work on high-impact, technically challenging problems alongside a team that values teamwork over competition. Veilant offers a solid work-life balance and flexible remote work options. At Veilant, you’ll work with the most talented software developers, systems engineers, and subject matter experts, building tools and systems that make a real difference.
Job Description:**This is a notional position intended to support Veilant’s continued growth and future business needs. While we are actively connecting with talented professionals, hiring for this role is contingent upon business growth and position availability.
We encourage interested candidates to apply and join our talent pipeline. As opportunities become available, we look forward to connecting with candidates whose skills and experience align with our needs.
Thank you for your interest in being part of Veilant’s future!**
We are hiring a Defense Growth Lead to drive Veilant's expansion within the USCYBERCOM and cyber national security enterprise. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role built for someone who has operated in or alongside the cyber mission force and understands how technical credibility opens doors that conventional sales cannot. Priority areas include USCYBERCOM, its service cyber components, and the broader cyber defense and offense enterprise.
This is not transactional sales. It is relationship-driven growth in high-trust environments where mission intimacy and technical credibility are the primary levers for success. You will be joining a specialized growth team that values technical depth over slick pitches, with the autonomy to solve hard problems and the backing of a world-class technical team.

- Represent Veilant at industry forums, private briefings, and technical demonstrations.
- Support RFI and RFP responses with market intelligence and competitive positioning.
- Travel to key cyber mission locations to build and maintain customer relationships.

- Successful execution of capture strategies, including customer shaping and teaming.

- Contribution to proposal win rate and contract awards.
- Depth and durability of customer relationships across the cyber mission enterprise.
