Senior Strategic Liaison - Bomber Programs

About this role:

This is with a fast-moving secure BLOS (beyond-line-of-sight) communications company seeking an experienced veteran who combines operational Air Force bomber experience (preferably former bomber aircrew) with inside knowledge of acquisition/requirements/program offices. This person will open doors to decision makers, translate warfighter needs into credible programmatic proposals, and shepherd initial technical integrations to demonstration-establishing trust and partnerships that accelerate adoption of our capability. This is a part-time role, initially estimated around 250 hours annually.

What you'll do:

• Serve as the company's primary internal/external subject matter lead for all US bomber platforms and missions (B-52/B-1/B-2 family of missions, tactics, architectures).
• Translate operational capability gaps into Fuse products and capabilities and feed those to engineering for rapid prototypes/demos.
• Build and maintain relationships with acquisition program offices, requirements offices, operational command staff, test centers, and warfighter SMEs to secure briefings, demo opportunities, and integrated trials.
• Consult on programmatic engagement plans (pilot demos, DT/OT support, planning conferences, mission trials) to validate our BLOS products on bomber platforms.
• Advise on acquisition strategies (other transaction authority, FMS, COTS + integration paths) and help draft acquisition-friendly materials (OV-1/OV-2 style briefs, demos, test plans).

We are looking for:

• Military bomber experience: aircrew experience on a US bomber (preferred) or 5+ years working inside bomber program/requirements offices with deep mission knowledge.
• Deep familiarity with bomber mission sets, avionics/communications architectures, installation constraints (power, EMI, weight, form factor), and typical aircraft change control processes.
• Track record of high-level stakeholder engagement - program offices, requirements authorities, operational commanders, test centers.
• Strong understanding of DoD acquisition lifecycle and how industry gets fielding opportunities (demo/OT, test, milestones).
• Active or prior U.S. government security clearance (Secret minimum; TS/SCI preferred) - or the ability to obtain one quickly.
