Drive the creation of high impact communication materials, including Board of Director deck inputs, internal white papers, 'All-Hands' presentations, and strategic customer collateral
Draft internal and external communications in the Executive's voice, ensuring clarity, consistency, and professional polish across Slack, email, and social media
Take messy datasets or chaotic brainstorms and distill them into 3-bullet executive summaries that drive decision-making
Support calendar and time efficiency
Attend meetings the CGO cannot
Lead early special projects that don't yet have a department—from researching a new market, to exploring a new partnership, or running down an internal bug fix
Be capable of representing the company in any situation and any stakeholder - customers, congressional staff, partners, and more

Requirements

0-2 years of experience in business development or as an executive assistant
High Agency: You don't wait for a checklist, you build it. You thrive in ambiguity and see 'I don't know how to do that' as an invitation to learn, not a roadblock
Influence Without Authority: You can nudge a Senior VP for a deliverable with a mix of EQ, charm, and persistence that gets results without bruising egos
Systems Thinker: You don't just solve a problem once
you build a process, so the problem never happens again
High Output, Low Ego: You are equally comfortable perfecting a Board deck for 4 hours or handling 'boring' logistics if it means the company wins
The 'Smoke Detector': You have the intuition to spot operational bottlenecks or cultural friction before they become crises
Mission Driven: You don't just want a job, you believe in the company's purpose. Developing technology that protects warfighters, law enforcement, and public safety operators means more to you than a paycheck
ITAR: U.S. Citizen or Green Card Required
CLEARANCE ELIGIBILITY - This position may require eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
