Job Description: Shield AI is seeking a driven and mission focused Business Development Manager to drive growth across Intel/Space Force by delivering autonomous systems that solve real operational challenges for the warfighter. This role owns the Intel pipeline and bookings target across Shield AI’s autonomy software and unmanned systems portfolio. You will drive opportunities from initial engagement through contract award, partnering with Intel/Space Force stakeholders and internal teams to convert operational needs into funded procurement. This is a quota-carrying role with significant upside tied directly to Intel/Space Force revenue growth. The ideal candidate is a high energy seller who thrives in complex defense sales environments and is motivated by building pipeline, advancing opportunities, and closing deals that deliver real operational capability. This role partners closely with Shield AI’s growth team which includes former senior military leaders who provide strategic insight, acquisition expertise, and access across the Intel/Space Force ecosystem. While the growth team supports market strategy and introductions, the Business Development Manager owns opportunity execution and revenue outcomes. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in high ownership environments and are motivated by building new markets and closing complex deals. This is a remote role based in the greater Washington, DC area.
