Defense Growth Lead, Army

We were early to the fight against Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance and we’ve been pushing the edge ever since.

Our mission is to help government and enterprise organizations understand and manage commercial data risks, shape their digital signatures, and operate with confidence in an increasingly complex information landscape. We build and integrate advanced, tech-forward solutions to problems our customers often don’t know they have – until it matters most.

We move fast, think critically, and deliver where it counts.

What’s in it for you?

We work hard and do fun things.

You’ll work on high-impact, technically challenging problems alongside a team that values teamwork over competition. Veilant offers a solid work-life balance and flexible remote work options. At Veilant, you’ll work with the most talented software developers, systems engineers, and subject matter experts, building tools and systems that make a real difference.

We are hiring a Defense Growth Lead to drive Veilant's expansion within the Army market. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role designed for someone who understands how Army organizations actually operate and knows how to establish early technical pilots and turn them into scalable, enduring programs. Priority account areas include Army commands, program offices, and service components with a need for communications security and counter-UTS capabilities. 

This is not transactional sales. It is relationship-driven growth in high-trust environments where mission intimacy and technical credibility are the primary levers for success. You will be joining a specialized growth team that values technical depth and organizational insights over slick pitches, with the autonomy to solve hard problems and the backing of a world-class technical team.
