Your Mission


As a
Partner Engagement Manager

, you will:


  • Build and maintain relationships with military users, ranging from mid-grade officers to Flag and General Officers.


  • Drive adoption across key planning directorates (e.g., N35, N5), working toward platform saturation across operational workflows.


  • Blend traditional training with nuanced influence strategies to achieve near-total adoption across your assigned region.


  • Champion user feedback to inform product development, while staying deeply proficient in platform capabilities.


  • Represent the company brand and values across military and partner engagements.


  • Support growth into allied and partner nation staff environments.


Core Responsibilities


  • Lead or support military exercises, both virtually and in person.


  • Observe users and feed back actionable insights to improve the platform.


  • Deliver on-site and remote support to senior-level customers.


  • Map and leverage social dynamics within commands to support account retention and expansion.


  • Act as the conduit between frontline users and the product engineering team during incidents or outages.


  • Advocate for engineering access, technical workarounds, and policy exceptions as needed — especially in secure environments.


Who You Are


  • A seasoned operational planner who commands respect from O-4s to Generals — when you speak, the room listens.


  • Experienced in working within complex military headquarters and operational constructs, especially in Europe-focused commands.


  • Highly dependable — your reputation is built on follow-through. People count on you, especially in high-visibility moments.


  • A problem-solver in bureaucratic systems. You don’t take “no” from someone who can’t say “yes.”


  • Technically sharp. You don’t need to write code, but you can master complex software quickly and speak fluently with technical teams.


  • Mission-driven. You care deeply about supporting the warfighter and enhancing the speed and quality of their decisions.


  • Ambitious and adaptable — eager to grow alongside a fast-scaling company.


  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking initiative with little oversight.


Qualifications


  • Deep experience in operational planning, ideally within a multi-star headquarters.


  • Advanced military education (e.g., Command & Staff, SAMS, JAWS, SAW).


  • Hands-on involvement in major exercises and experience deploying software on classified networks.


  • Proven record of expanding software usage within government or military organizations.


  • Strong interpersonal and client-facing skills, both remotely and on-site.


  • Able to respond to incidents and coordinate seamlessly with technical teams.


  • Track record of navigating large, bureaucratic systems and getting things done.
