This role is ideal for a self-starter with a deep understanding of federal procurement and a demonstrated track record of identifying, capturing, and winning high-value government contracts.

Reporting directly to the Chief Growth Officer, this individual will be responsible for leading the full capture lifecycle—from opportunity identification to proposal submission and contract award.

Lead or support the development of compliant and compelling responses to RFPs, RFIs, and Sources Sought notices.
Partner with internal stakeholders—operations, legal, finance, and technical teams—to create persuasive and responsive proposals.
Build and maintain strong relationships with government stakeholders, program managers, and industry teaming partners.
Stay current on FAR / DFARS regulations and contracting trends impacting the Intelligence Community.
Represent Orbis at key industry events and conferences (e.g., AFCEA, INSA) to enhance visibility and engagement.

Experience with consulting or solution-selling related to OSINT and data capabilities.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills for proposals, client presentations, and internal collaboration.

Highly motivated self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
