We’re looking for a senior brand marketer who knows how to define a category and, architect a modern enterprise brand. You will strengthen awareness and credibility for the company’s defense tech capabilities while building market momentum for products serving government, commercial, and technology audiences.

• Influence senior stakeholders. Engage executives across business units and the enterprise to pressure-test narratives, secure direction, accelerate decisions, and maintain momentum within a complex matrixed environment.
• Measure and optimize brand + funnel performance. Manage KPIs for awareness, perception, engagement quality, and mid-funnel progression; analyze performance and refine programs to maximize impact.
