Account Executive
Cape·DC or New York·Onsite
Plain language from poster: Account executive who can take us from prototype to production with the Navy. Had the relationships, ability to learn, and hustle to understand a complex product and apply it to fill gaps mapped to meaningful budget on a 12-18 month timeline
Close Navy deals, manage government accounts, build sales pipeline, and ensure client satisfaction.
Plain language from poster: Looking for a consultant type who can do the strategy work and then actually make it happen. Someone who builds the financial model for a big bet, like a new aircraft line or expanding overseas, and then runs the monthly reviews that keep it on track. Think 4+ years out of banking or consulting, comfortable in a room with the CEO, willing to sit in San Diego, Dallas or DC. Must be a US citizen and clearable.

Nothing here fits? Tell admin what you're actually looking for. It doesn't go on the board, it goes on a private list, so when a role comes through first he already knows to call you.
4 people on the talent list, three of them current. Two of them fit the Cape role.
Post a role.
This is the line people read first. Say what you'd say if someone asked you at dinner.
Tell us you're looking
This is not a public profile.
Nothing here appears on the board and nobody in the group sees it. It goes to a private list only admin sees, so when a role comes through we already know who to call.
No resumes, by design. Six lines and a LinkedIn link do the same job for a group this size.
Pulled from the roster. Fix it if it's wrong.
How you got in. Josh reaches you here.
This is the part admin uses in conversation with founders to play matchmaker. Write it like you'd say it, and skip your reflex to minimize your experience. Say it loud, say it proud. What you've actually done, what you're good at, what you want next. Give me three or four sentences and assume the founder has never worn a uniform.
Only Josh sees this. Come back to this page any time to change it or take yourself off.
Talent
Private. Visible to you only. Four people, three current.

Gordon Kim
Operations·BD / GTM·Bay Area, or remote US
In his words: Navy surface warfare officer, then eight years in program management at a prime, so I've sat on both sides of a proposal and I know how the buyer thinks. Looking for a post-MBA operating role at an early defense or dual-use company, ideally the first BD hire, building the function rather than inheriting it.
In her words: Ten years running proposals on the primes side. I want to do the same work at a company small enough that winning one program actually changes the trajectory.
In his words: Backend and infra, eight years, last three on GovCloud deployments. Looking for a founding engineer seat, will take the pay cut for real equity.
