About the position

This team of 4-5 individuals is responsible for the smart, incremental growth of ATAC’s business worldwide. The principal line of business is supporting adversary air training. ATAC also pursues business in the air-to-surface category, doing research and development flights, and providing fleet integrated training. ATAC has recently won a contract for Standoff Jamming Jets services, and the Capture Manager should expect to work in the special missions arena (EW, ISR, etc.), as ATAC intends to grow in this area in the future. This opportunity is for an experienced, motivated and organized candidate to integrate best-practices to create successful Capture teams and own new pursuits across all phases of activity. The Capture Manager role reports to the Director of Global Military Sales within a matrix organizational structure and also serves as an initial program manager (PM) for the opportunity, until handed off to the execution PM. The position requires someone who develops long-term relationships and develops long-term programs for multiple customers and contracts. 100%25 of our future business is generated through DOD contracts.

We are looking for someone who is excited by and passionate about the opportunity to offer ATAC’s industry-leading tactical services to the best customers in the world – the US military warfighter. The successful candidate will have previous experience and a proven track record leading Capture teams in defense industry settings. Strong organization and collaboration skills are essential.
