Silvus is seeking a Market Development Executive, U.S. Air Force & Space Force who will report to the Vice President of Strategic Growth on the Sales team. The successful individual in this role will serve as Silvus’ senior market-shaping leader across the air and space enterprise. This role is responsible for influencing capability requirements, strengthening advocacy within major modernization and advanced battle management programs, and driving long-term strategic engagement across AFLCMC, Space Systems Command, operational wings, and mission partners. This position is not transactional sales. Instead, this is a strategic influence role - focused on shaping demand, positioning Silvus Technologies early in emerging programs, and ensuring transitions to Business Development and Capture teams for downstream execution.
Job Responsibility:
Leverage senior-level relationships across AFLCMC, SSC, operational MAJCOMs (e.g., ACC, AMC, AFSOC, PACAF), and Space Force Deltas to influence requirements and secure advocacy for Silvus networking technologies
Position Silvus within joint and service-driven future architectures including: Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), Operational Imperative initiatives, Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), Resilient and contested communications for air and space missions
Drive alignment to capability roadmaps supporting distributed airborne networks, beyond-line-of-sight C2, autonomous systems, and multi-security transport
Serve as the senior “market anchor” across Air & Space Force pursuits — ensuring coordinated engagement among Strategic Growth, DoD Sales, OEM/Prime Sales, Engineering, and Product teams
Synchronize advocacy strategies with Motorola Solutions and MSI Government Affairs to support planning, programming, and budget influence activities
Ensure unified messaging and integrated customer-facing strategies for priority programs
Provide continuous insight into USAF/USSF modernization priorities, acquisition pathways (e.g., Middle Tier Rapid Acquisition), and future force design
Build Silvus presence into POR pipeline opportunities at the earliest stage
Represent Silvus at senior DoD and industry forums — promoting leadership in contested air/space connectivity and spectrum operations
Develop and execute the Air & Space Force Market Development Plan, including shaping objectives, key relationships, and transition milestones for downstream BD owners
Ensure multi-year program opportunities are identified early and matured into the long-range revenue plan
Travel Requirements - up to 50% as needed, to maintain strong customer engagement and relationships.

Prior U.S. Air Force / Space Force service or senior leadership experience supporting relevant mission areas such as C5ISR, airborne communications, space systems, or autonomous platforms
Established, verifiable network within key USAF/USSF organizations (e.g., AFLCMC Directorates, Space Systems Command, AFSOC, test units, and operational wings)
