Job description

Description

Quantum Sky is looking for a Quantum Solutions Strategist — someone who lives at the intersection of quantum tech, mission problems, and new business. You'll be the connective tissue between our Project 137 Quantum Innovation team, our business development engine, and the line organizations actually delivering the work.

You've applied quantum technology to real government missions and know how to turn that experience into solutions customers actually buy. You think like a founder: fusing Project 137's quantum offerings with OEM technology, and using your deep Quantum Sky integration chops to land wedge engagements — the toeholds that set up the bigger quantum plays down the road.

You know systems integration. You know federal — especially Defense. You know how to build a solution that's compelling, cost-effective, and different enough to win. You'll get in early on pursuits and drive strategy the whole way from capture to proposal.

What You'll Own

• Shape win strategy shoulder-to-shoulder with Line, BD, Capture Managers, Technical SMEs, BU leadership, proposal, and pricing — running BD call plans (or program tech insertion) while driving the work products the BD lifecycle demands
• Feed real customer and market signal back into Project 137 to help shape the quantum product roadmap
• Build solutions to customer problems that consistently get scored superior — not just compliant
• Own or contribute to BOE/BOM artifacts that make the pricing story credible
• Team up with Recruiting and Capture to vet Key Personnel candidates
• Provide advanced quantum sales engineering support for our Growth and Business Development teams
• Identify, cultivate, and establish go-to-market motions with major quantum OEMs
