Government Capture Lead, Defense & Federal

Slip Robotics builds autonomous robots that load trailers and move heavy loads. Our robots run at warehouse and manufacturing sites across North America, and we now hold an Air Force contract for depot aircraft maintenance. Our Air Force SBIR Phase II is under way, and we're growing our government business on that foundation.

As Government Capture Lead, you'll own capture from the first look at an opportunity through the signed award. Your first priority is turning our SBIR Phase II into a Phase III and extending it to other depots and commands. You'll work closely with our Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and hand in hand with engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the Phase III strategy for our Air Force SBIR: sponsor, funding source, contracting path, and timeline.
• Find and qualify new pursuits across SBIR/STTR, OTAs, CSOs, prize challenges, and defense logistics and depot commands, and make bid or no-bid calls.
• Run proposals end to end: compliance, win themes, pricing input, and on-time submission.
• Build teaming relationships with primes and integrators when we shouldn’t go alone.
• Keep the pipeline, SAM.gov registration, and compliance baseline current (CMMC, Section 889, ITAR, Buy American).
• Turn customer requirements into clear asks for engineering.
