THE OPPORTUNITY
Silvus is seeking a Market Development Executive, U.S. Air Force & Space Force who will report to the Vice President of Strategic Growth on the Sales team. The successful individual in this role will serve as Silvus’ senior market-shaping leader across the air and space enterprise. This role is responsible for influencing capability requirements, strengthening advocacy within major modernization and advanced battle management programs, and driving long-term strategic engagement across AFLCMC, Space Systems Command, operational wings, and mission partners.
This position is not transactional sales. Instead, this is a strategic influence role - focused on shaping demand, positioning Silvus Technologies early in emerging programs, and ensuring transitions to Business Development and Capture teams for downstream execution. This position is eligible for 100% remote work depending on location with a preference for this individual to have proximity to key USAF commands.

- Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS)
