From Overview Energy's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Overview Energy is a mission-driven team committed to building a new layer of energy infrastructure: satellites in geosynchronous orbit that redirect solar energy to terrestrial solar projects via passively safe near-infrared light. We're in the earliest phase, where every government relationship and every contract we win is built end-to-end by a small, dedicated team. Headquartered in the Northern Virginia / Washington, DC area and backed by world-class investors, we are advancing the next generation of clean energy technology.
We're looking for a Director/VP of National Security to own our path from early-stage government engagement to signed programs of record. This is a ground-floor opportunity to define how a technically differentiated, venture-backed company wins in the defense and intelligence market.
You will develop and execute a 5-year government capture strategy — navigating the full acquisition spectrum from SBIRs, FARs and OTAs through AFWERX, SpaceWERX, and ultimately programs of record. You'll work closely with engineering, legal, and executive leadership, serving as the face of Overview Energy across DoD commands, Space Systems Command, and the Intelligence Community.
This role sits within our commercial function and reports to our Co-CEO. It is a high-autonomy, high-accountability role for someone who has done this before and is ready to run.
The base salary range for this role is $180,000–$250,000, with placement depending on experience and demonstrated capture depth, plus a variable component and stock options.
Our Benefits
We take care of our people. In addition to competitive salary and equity, Overview Energy offers comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance coverage, a health and wellness stipend, 4 weeks paid time off, 2 weeks sick leave, parental leave, and 401(k) matching. Benefits are subject to change at the Company's discretion.
ITAR Requirements
This position is subject to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
