Project Description:
DRT Strategies is a rapidly growing firm targeting unrestricted, competitive procurements in the federal consulting market. We are seeking an experienced Director of Business Development to identify and lead the capture of strategic opportunities, enabling us to win new contracts and expand our customer base. You will play a critical role in achieving our ambitious growth objectives.
Job Summary:
The Director of Business Development will lead and deliver end-to-end capture activities for high-priority opportunities across DRT's emerging account space. This role involves developing and executing winning capture strategies, leveraging customer relationships and market intelligence to inform highly competitive proposals with the Defense Health Agency (DHA) and the Military Health System (MHS). You will collaborate with cross-functional teams and report to the Chief Strategy Officer.
Responsibilities:
Strategic Opportunity Management: Lead the identification, qualification, and strategic capture of new business opportunities, primarily with the DHA and MHS. Be flexible and experienced enough to accommodate the capture of opportunities outside these market areas, potentially including secondary markets such as the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). This includes driving the end-to-end capture lifecycle: market research, competitive analysis, solution development, teaming strategy, win theme development, oral presentation development and oral presentation execution. You may also manage and/or mentor other team members in these efforts.
Collaborative Proposal Development: Work closely with cross-functional teams (technical, proposal, contracts, and pricing) to develop compelling, compliant, and customer-focused proposals, RFIs, and SSNs. This also involves contributing to proposal content, assisting with pricing strategy, and participating in proposal reviews.
Relationship Building and Market Intelligence: Build your rolodex, and DRT's. Maintain strong relationships with government clients, industry partners, and internal stakeholders to position DRT for long-term success. Proactively identify and track emerging market trends, services, solutions, tools, and technologies, and conduct thorough research on prospective customers, programs, partners, and competitors to inform capture strategies. Proactively maintain currency of knowledge during this time of great change in federal contracting.
Capture Process Leadership: Guide specific opportunities through DRT's Step Review process to ensure the development of winning proposals. Collaborate with the proposal team and delivery leadership to prioritize opportunities and partner with the delivery team and solution architects to understand and define competitive DRT solution offerings. Understand and adapt to the new role that Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Automation tools are playing in competitive procurements, both in how procurements are executed and within the solutions delivered to market. Embrace this evolution and help DRT maintain a leadership position in the use of these technologies as part of the Business Development cycle.
Marketing and Strategy Contribution: Collaborate with DRT leadership on marketing initiatives for new customers and partners. Lead proposal strategy development, including theming and solution definition, based on pre-proposal intelligence. Manage proposal preparation activities, including defining roles and assessing past performance. Direct reports and/or mentees in alignment to corporate strategies and tools. Contribute, as requested, to corporate goal setting related to company growth.

Eight or more years of experience in Business Development.
Demonstrable, hands-on success with business development for the DHA and/or MHS. Direct knowledge of relevant vehicles, stakeholders and projects in these spaces.
