Firestorm is looking for a dynamic, mission-aligned Business Development Manager to drive our engagement with the U.S. Navy & U.S. Marine Corps . In this role, you will shape strategy, forge relationships, and identify opportunities where Firestorm’s cutting-edge systems can close critical capability gaps. You will excel at collaborating with and influencing diverse cross-functional Navy & Marine Corps stakeholders and navigating opportunities across the Department of Navy (DoN). You are an entrepreneurial self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, small business setting, and can confidently influence peers and senior colleagues while contributing across the entire business development, capture, and proposal development lifecycle.

About The Company Firestorm grew out of a simple question: How does a U.S. ally with a relatively limited defense budget deter a near-peer aggressor with vastly larger resources?
We are building the answer to that question through expeditionary manufacturing, affordable mass, and mission-adaptable autonomous systems designed for contested environments. Firestorm is a venture-backed defense technology company developing modular unmanned systems and deployable manufacturing capabilities that enable operators to Print-Build-Fly combat capability at the tactical edge.
As Firestorm scales beyond Series B, we are seeking a Vice President of Business Development with operational credibility, strategic vision, and deep experience navigating Department of War acquisition, operational end users, strategic partnerships, and growth-stage defense technology scaling.
