Capture Manager The Company TurbineOne is the frontline perception company. We deliver decision-advantage and more effective situational awareness to those serving at our nation’s frontlines.

We’re a small, fast-moving, and high-performance DefenseTech startup backed by premier national-security venture capitalists. Our software—the Frontline Perception System (FPS)—brings cutting-edge AI and machine learning directly to the tactical edge, empowering American warfighters and allied partners operating throughout the world. Team: GTM / Sales Enablement Location: Remote Level: Manager Reports to: Chief of Staff The Role TurbineOne is hiring a Capture Manager to drive government capture strategy within the Department of War. This role focuses on shaping pursuits before they become proposals — helping sales teams connect customer demand to viable funding pathways, guiding bid strategy, and positioning TurbineOne to win the right opportunities. This is a strategy-forward capture role, not a proposal management or sales role. You will work closely with Sales, Sales Enablement, and cross-functional teams to influence how and where the company competes. What You’ll Do Portfolio Capture Strategy Own capture strategy for an assigned portfolio of government customers, programs, or mission areas. Shape pursuit plans aligned with TurbineOne’s product maturity, contract vehicles, and growth priorities. Identify and prioritize opportunities based on funding likelihood, customer readiness, and strategic fit. Support go/no-go inputs by providing capture analysis, competitive insight, and risk assessments. Funding Pathway Alignment Help Sales teams understand and navigate government funding mechanisms, including SBIR/STTR, OTAs, IDIQs, BAAs, direct appropriations, programs of record, and allied government pathways. Connect customer needs to realistic acquisition and funding paths, guiding timing, scope, and pursuit approach. Advise on sequencing strategies (e.g., prototype → follow-on → production). Act as a translator between customer mission intent and acquisition reality. Bid Strategy Win Themes Develop and refine bid strategies for priority pursuits within the portfolio. Contribute to win theme development, discriminator articulation, and competitive positioning. Advise on teaming strategy, partner selection, and roles. Ensure capture strategies align with overarching acquisition direction set by the Director of Federal International Acquisitions. Sales Enablement Partnership Partner closely with Sales to support customer engagements with acquisition-informed strategy. Equip Sales with capture insights, funding context, and pursuit narratives — without owning account relationships or deal close responsibility. Coordinate with Sales Operations, Content, and Proposal teams to ensure capture intent is reflected in materials and submissions. Serve as a strategic advisor to sellers throughout the pre-RFP and pre-solicitation phases. Competitive Market Insight Track relevant competitors, primes, and adjacent solutions within the portfolio. Assess customer buying patterns, incumbent positions, and acquisition behaviors. Feed competitive and market insights back into Sales Enablement and acquisition leadership. Support long-term portfolio strategy by identifying emerging opportunities and white space. Capture Execution Support Support proposal planning by providing capture inputs, background, and strategic guidance. Participate in color reviews and strategy sessions as appropriate. Ensure continuity from early capture through proposal execution and award. Capture lessons learned and contribute to institutional knowledge across the enablement organization.
