nUnited Defense Technologies (UDT) is building America’s first nationwide, reality-based threat training centers — integrating firearms, self-defense, simulations, and community-driven membership into one powerful experience. There are over 40 UDT locations at various stages of development.
nWe’re now hiring a Vice President of Marketing & Sales to lead, scale, and evolve our multi-location, high-touch membership model across corporate and franchise locations.
nThis is a rare opportunity for a proven leader to join a fast-scaling, founder-led company with a mission to empower everyday Americans to become dynamic-thinking survivors — and to play a key role in shaping UDT’s next stage of growth.
nWhat You’ll Do:
nLead the Corporate Sales & Marketing Department — overseeing strategy, execution, performance management, and innovation across teams and channels.
nInherit and elevate an internal team and train franchisee sales teams to succeed under our leadership framework.
nDrive B2C membership sales (core) while growing B2B partnerships, referral pipelines, and strategic alliances.
nOversee and evolve marketing strategy across digital, local, influencer, referral, community-based, and experiential channels.
nRefine and optimize sales playbooks, lead follow-up workflows, scripting, upsell/cross-sell strategies, and customer experience funnels.
nBuild systems to maximize retention, referrals, gamification, community building, and member engagement.
nReport directly to the CEO and collaborate with operations, tech, and franchising teams to scale performance.
nWho You Are:
nA visionary sales & marketing leader with 10+ years of experience leading high-performing teams/ marketing campaigns and building systems that scale.
nHave deep experience in membership-based businesses — ideally across multi-site membership models that are higher ticket models.
nUnderstand lead generation, digital marketing, and local-level growth strategies inside and out.
nProven ability to build playbooks, train teams, coach leaders, franchise teams and drive accountability across locations.
nPassion for peak performance, self-defense and/ or tactical training, and empowering others through physical, mental, and community development.
nFamiliar with CRM platforms (High Ready or similar), sales tracking, retention KPIs, and modern tech tools to run marketing and sales ops.
nFranchise experience or familiarity is a plus.
nBonus Points If You Have:
nExperience in firearms, martial arts, fitness, or self-defense industries.
nBuilt member-based referral programs, member events or loyalty systems.
nScaled multiple locations under a single brand and managed brand consistency with performance autonomy.
nWhy Join UDT:
