Senior Market Development Specialist (sales/capture Team)

Boeing Boeing · Aerospace · USA - Berkeley, MO, USA - San Antonio, TX, USA - Plano, TX, USA - Oklahoma City, OK, USA - Hazelwood, MO, USA - Philadelphia, PA

This role is for a Senior Market Development Specialist focused on Support Equipment (SE) for defense customers. The responsibilities include developing go-to-market strategies, engaging with customers and industry partners, conducting market analysis, and providing input to capture and proposal teams. The role requires deep expertise in SE, ATE, and defense acquisition processes.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as the dedicated SE business development lead embedded in the SE organization — focused solely on SE markets (sustainment and product development)
  2. Develop and execute go-to-market strategies for SE sustainment and SE product development for U.S. and allied defense customers: automatic test equipment (ATE), maintenance/test systems, mobile/sheltered support units, calibration/test ranges, and spares/repair network offerings
  3. Actively travel and engage with customers, program offices, training & sustainment commands, prime integrators, MROs, and industry partners to build relationships, capture leads, and advance SE investment cases
  4. Identify and prioritize investment opportunities for SE product development (NextGen ATE, common armament testers, IPdesigned SE), and feed those opportunities into capture, capture funding, and internal investment decision processes
  5. Conduct deep customer and market analysis: mission requirements, maintenance/test gaps, sustainment levers (outcome-based, availability, MTBF), acquisition pathways (FMS, IDIQs, OTA, other authorized pathways), and budget/cycle timing for SE procurements
