Develop and defend probability of win estimates; forecast calibration is a measured performance indicator. Proposal and Close Drive proposal content as the customer-facing author of the win strategy, working with Proposal Management through Pink, Red, and Gold Team reviews to compliant, on-time submission. Support orals, negotiations, and post-submission customer engagement through award. Execute transition of awarded work to the delivery organization with full customer context, and remain engaged through the initial period of performance.

The Business Development Manager identifies, qualifies, captures, and closes new business for Phoenix Defense in the modeling and simulation (M&S), command and control (C2), and training and engineering services markets. This position carries personal accountability for a defined segment of the qualified pipeline - from first customer contact through award and transition to delivery - and serves as capture manager on assigned pursuits.

The position sits within the Business Development & Capture functional area of the Revenue Operations Group, which is responsible for top-line revenue growth at acceptable margin through a disciplined, data-driven, repeatable capture process. The Group operates on mission command: the incumbent is given intent, an assigned account and campaign, and the latitude to act, and is expected to exercise disciplined initiative supported by evidence rather than wait for direction. To be successful, the individual will possess defense industry business development experience with a verifiable record of pursuits personally advanced from qualification to award, credibility with government training and acquisition customers, and the ability to articulate where Phoenix Defense capability wins and where it does not. Experience working the Huntsville / Redstone Arsenal customer base is strongly desired. This position reports to the Lead, Business Development & Capture.

Recommend early no-bid decisions on pursuits that do not meet qualification criteria, with the supporting rationale. Shaping Engage requirement owners in advance of the request for proposal, while requirements are still being developed and influence remains available. Feed customer-derived capability needs to Campaign Management and Independent Research and Development (IR&D), and pull matured capability and demonstrations forward into active pursuits. Employ demonstrations, white papers, and conference engagements as shaping activities against a stated objective. Capture Serve as capture manager on assigned pursuits, including capture plan, competitive assessment, teaming strategy, price-to-win inputs, discriminator development, and gate reviews through bid decision. Establish and negotiate teaming posture - prime, subcontractor, or partner - based on competitive assessment. Develop and defend probability of win estimates; forecast calibration is a measured performance indicator. Proposal and Close Drive proposal content as the customer-facing author of the win strategy, working with Proposal Management through Pink, Red, and Gold Team reviews to compliant, on-time submission. Support orals, negotiations, and post-submission customer engagement through award. Execute transition of awarded work to the delivery organization with full customer context, and remain engaged through the initial period of performance. Pipeline, Reporting, and Operating Cadence Maintain pipeline and opportunity data integrity in the customer relationship management (CRM) system. Conduct market and competitor research; maintain opportunity roadmaps and market research databases (SAM.gov, FPDS, GovWin, Federal Compass) supporting current and future opportunities.

Experience competing task orders under a large services or training indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle desired; familiarity with vehicles such as STOC III, RS3, TSA IV, SCARS, SeaPort-NxG, ITES-3S, and OASIS+ desired. Prior assignment, employment, or sustained business development experience in the Huntsville / Redstone Arsenal ecosystem - AMCOM, PEO Aviation, PEO Missiles & Space, DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center, SMDC, Army Materiel Command, Army Contracting Command - Redstone, and the security assistance community - strongly desired. Practical command of capture planning, competitive assessment, price-to-win concepts, teaming negotiation, and proposal development required; familiarity with a recognized capture methodology desired. Experience with Department of Defense proposals and a working understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation required. Working knowledge of the federal procurement process and market research tools including SAM.gov, FPDS, GovWin, or required. Ability to articulate competitive positioning against systems and providers active in this market - including BISim/VBS4, Cole Engineering (CESI)/OneArc, BSI/MACE, FAAC, Ternion/FLAMES, and MVRsimulation - and to address the effect of non-traditional entrants such as Anduril and Palantir on customer expectations, desired.
