Contract BD – Golden Dome

Contract Business Development Consultant — Golden Dome

United States (Remote)

Open hourly rate

6-month contract – 20 hours per week + 

Fully remote (US-based)

A space & defense company is hiring a Business Development Consultant to open the Golden Dome market through a 6-month engagement.

The infrastructure is built, the program is moving. What’s needed is a BD lead who has sold into missile defense or hypersonic test programs before, can build a pipeline without a long runway, and can carry it from first meeting to award on a fixed clock.

What you’ll be doing

  • Own the Golden Dome market as the sole business development consultant on the account.
  • Map the stakeholders, program offices, primes and budget lines behind Golden Dome hypersonic testing and test-vehicle launch, and turn that into a named target list within the first month.
  • Secure first meetings with program managers, contracting officers and prime-contractor capture leads, and qualify each opportunity against what the company can deliver on its current timeline.
  • Shape capture plans for test campaigns at the company’s site: vacuum, high-G, materials and wind-tunnel testing, and test-vehicle launch.
  • Draft responses to RFIs, BAAs and OTA proposals alongside the CEO and the engineering team, with the technical claims kept accurate.
  • Run a weekly pipeline review with the CEO: what moved, what stalled, what needs an engineering answer, what needs a decision.
  • Convert an initial test campaign into a multi-year test-services program of record.

What you’ll need

  • Business development or capture experience selling into the DoD, with awards you can name.
  • A live network across hypersonic test and missile-defense stakeholders: OSD, MDA, the Space Force, test ranges and the primes.
  • A working knowledge of DoD contracting mechanisms: BAAs, OTAs, SBIR/STTR, IDIQs, sole-source and cost-plus versus firm-fixed-price.
  • Experience selling test services, flight-test capacity or novel test infrastructure rather than standard components.
  • A record of opening a market from a standing start — first meeting to first award — rather than managing an inherited book.
  • Comfort representing engineering claims accurately to a technical customer without overstating them.
  • Judgement to qualify out early: this is a 20-hour-per-week engagement and the pipeline has to be real.
