BMNT

Project Lead, Maritime Consortium Bring a new consortium model to the undersea and littoral fight This year, USSOCOM launched SOF RACER, a consortium that is free for companies and exists to rapidly prototype commercial technology. BMNT runs the human engine, framing the right problems, recruiting and preparing companies, and accelerating the impact. Soon, we may be managing a second consortium built on the same model for the maritime domain: undersea and seabed systems, littoral and expeditionary operations, mine countermeasures, and the autonomous and robotic systems. We need someone to run the day to day work. You will be the person that a Navy program office calls when they have a problem and the reason a maritime robotics founder decides consortium membership was the best decision they made all year. You will be BMNT's first maritime domain lead. What you will actually do Own the demand engine. Build and keep the relationships with the Navy program offices, labs, and operating units where maritime problems are born. Take them from "we have this problem," to a problem statement the whole consortium competes on. Own member value. Companies stay in the consortium because it's worth their time through rapid onboarding and member resources that you will help execute. Translate in both directions. Turn operator and engineer language into problem statements that an entrepreneur can act on, and keep the government side confident that what they said was not lost in translation. Filter honestly. You will hear lots of problems. The job is finding the right ones: real users, real pain, someone with authority who cares, and the funding for prototyping. Run point on the moments that matter. Industry days, curation sessions, white paper workshops, demo events, and the follow-through afterward. Who thrives in this seat You have lived in the maritime domain: undersea or surface unmanned systems, mine warfare, EOD or diving, expeditionary operations, naval test and evaluation, or industry. When you walk into a Navy warfare center, people assume you belong there. You have worked government acquisition in the form of OTAs, consortia, SBIR, accelerators, or federal business development where your job was earning a program manager's trust. You can brief a Navy leader in the morning and coach a seed-stage founder in the afternoon, and you genuinely like both conversations. You do only 25 to 40 percent of the talking in a discovery conversation and treat what you learn as the product of your effort. You are comfortable with autonomy and ambiguity, and you ask for help early and loudly when it affects the mission. Clearance: active Secret preferred; you must be eligible for TS/SCI. U.S. citizenship required. Why BMNT We are the 40-person Silicon Valley company that has spent a decade proving commercial innovation methods work in national security. Our methods trace to the Army's Rapid Equipping Force, which our founder led; we run the Hacking for Defense program across 67 universities; and our pipelines have moved real technology, including ocean sensors, photonic navigation, and edge AI, into operational hands. We just helped end the consortium-fee model that taxed the defense industrial base for two decades, and we hope to bring that model to the water. We’re a small company with no layers, a national mission, and your fingerprints can be on all of it. The details In office or hybrid with monthly travel, especially wherever the government problem owners are. Compensation is between $105,000 to $165,000 and determined by location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. BMNT is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and an equal opportunity employer. If you are a self-starter with an obsession for outcomes, not activities and a history of achievements, and enjoy working on projects with collaborative and creative teams, this could be the right role for you! #innovation

About the Role: At BMNT, Project Leads play an integral role in our consulting practice. Their goal is to independently lead aspects of the program and achieve the results a customer wants related to specific projects and/or lines of effort. They strategize with, and provide overall support to, Program Managers (PM) on day-to-day customer operations and contract management. This is the introductory project level in BMNT’s Program Leadership track. As the Project Lead I for the H4D (Hacking for Defense) line of effort, you will specifically own the end-to-end problem curation pipeline. In this role, you are responsible for guiding sourced military and government problems through the entire qualification and scoping lifecycle, ensuring they are perfectly refined and ready for distribution to university cohorts. You will manage the execution of key workflow tasks, enforce strict quality assurance, ensure clean CRM tracking, and guarantee that the final outputs meet the standards required for the H4D program and our Department of War (DoW) client. Location: This is a hybrid position within commuting distance to our Arlington, VA office with the expectation of being in the office three days per week and sometimes more often based on customer needs. Occasional travel required within the DC metro area, around the US and internationally. What You Will Be Doing (Responsibilities): Pipeline Management & Execution: Own the core workflow of the H4D problem pipeline, driving sourced problems smoothly from initial collection through final scoping and formal approval. Team Supervision & Task Delegation: Manage the workload and delegate tasks across the program analyst team to ensure that problem scoping and curation are completed in a timely, thorough manner. Quality Assurance (QA): Provide meticulous review of the team's work to ensure problem formatting, linguistic clarity, structural narrative, and associated data elements are correct and highly polished before sending finalized problems to the PM. Data Integrity & Salesforce Management: Supervise and ensure that all curated problem documentation, stakeholder details, and workflow milestones are inputted into Salesforce accurately and maintained cleanly. University Distribution Readiness: Maintain ultimate responsibility for the overall quality of the curated problem portfolio, verifying that problems are technically viable, operationally compelling, and fully actionable for university students. Mentorship & Guidance: Provide active mentorship, structural support, and constructive feedback on job performance to analysts, ensuring long-term continuous improvement and alignment over time. Stakeholder Coordination: Serve as a reliable touchpoint for project communications, leading meetings/calls with customers or problem sponsors, and managing scheduling requirements for industry or government engagements. Methodology Alignment: Maintain a deep and rich understanding of BMNT products, services, and core methodologies (Lean Startup, H4X, Design Thinking), articulating how these address customer needs and recommending pipeline updates when necessary. BMNT Culture: Model the desired behaviors of a successful contributor at BMNT and fully embrace the BMNT Bushido. Experience and Qualifications You’ll Need to Thrive in this Role : Education & Experience: Bachelor's Degree or equivalent work experience. Requires at least 6+ years of consulting or relevant project management experience. Detail & Quality Focus: Meticulous attention to detail. Strong capability to evaluate datasets and written briefs to ensure absolute data validity, formatting accuracy, and structural integrity. CRM/Database Competency: Experience with complex project pipelines; proficiency tracking and entering programmatic milestones within CRM systems (Salesforce strongly preferred). Problem Solving & Analytics: Exceptional analytical skills with a genuine passion for deconstructing messy, complex, and intractable national security or organizational problems into curated, structured insights. Innovation Methodologies: Familiarity with modern innovation methodologies (Lean Startup, DevOps, Design Thinking, Rapid Prototyping, Agile, etc.) and/or previous exposure to the Hacking for Defense (H4D) curriculum is highly preferred. Subject Matter Acumen: Foundational subject matter expertise or rapid familiarity with government, military, or emerging defense technology sectors. Communication Excellence: Superb verbal and written communication skills—specifically the ability to transform voluminous information into highly succinct, actionable insights with minimal correction required. Professional Character: Exhibits high emotional intelligence (EQ) through active listening, welcoming performance feedback, demonstrating thoughtful judgment, humility, and self-awareness. Additional Requirements: U.S. Citizenship required. Occasional travel required within the DC metro area, around the US and internationally. Passion for BMNT’s mission and commitment to enabling innovation at scale within the federal enterprise. If you are a self-starter with an obsession for outcomes, not activities and a history of achievements, and enjoy working on projects with collaborative and creative teams, this could be the right role for you! #H4D #innovation #defense #NSIN

BMNT

Analyst, Consortium Operations Help run the machine that is changing how defense consortia work This year, USSOCOM launched SOF RACER, a consortium that is free for companies and exists to rapidly prototype commercial technology. BMNT runs the human engine, framing the right problems, recruiting and preparing companies, and accelerating the impact. Soon, we may be managing a second consortium built on the same model for the maritime domain, and we need an Analyst who keeps both engines running well. This is a rare seat working with a small, highly capable team at the leading edge of consortium management, where supply and demand come together to turn a solicitation into an award and a military problem into a prototype. You will see how government buys, how startups sell, and how a consortium is built – and you will own real pieces of it within your first month at BMNT. What you will actually do Own onboarding. A company that applies to join should be bid-eligible in days, not weeks. You run the first-pass screen on every application, catch the duplicates, the non-companies, and the foreign-ownership questions. The time between first contact and bid-eligible is your key metric. Run the front desk. Member questions arrive by the hundreds on platform access, application status, how to respond to a solicitation, and more. You answer what you can, route what you cannot, track every open issue to resolution, and turn the most common questions into an FAQ or a training session. Keep the numbers honest. Monthly status reports, quarterly metrics, and the program dashboard run on inputs like onboarding speed, coverage per technology area, responses per solicitation, support volume, and more. You build and maintain those inputs so the program leads and partners never have to go looking for truth. Make events happen. Industry days, training sessions, office hours, and demo events, including the logistics, materials, registration, and follow-up. Who thrives in this seat You are organized enough to run 30 open threads and honest enough to flag the one that is slipping before anyone asks. You like process because it makes you faster, and you document what you build because you expect to hand it off. You write clearly and succinctly, and you can explain a government norm to a founder without sounding superior. You are comfortable with data like spreadsheets, dashboards, public records like USAspending and SAM.gov, and whatever tool the job needs next. You are curious about how government buys technology and how companies sell it, and you want to learn the tradecraft from people who do it every day. You treat a member company's bad week on the platform as your problem to fix, and you ask for help early and loudly when it affects the mission. Clearance: none required to start; eligibility for a Secret clearance preferred. U.S. citizenship required.
