Position Overview
Tiberius is seeking an experienced Capture Manager to lead the pursuit of strategic opportunities across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community, from early identification through contract award.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives before the RFP drops building customer relationships, shaping requirements, running competitive intelligence, and assembling the win strategy that turns an early lead into a program of record. The Capture Manager will work closely with the cofounders, business development, engineering, and program teams to convert Tiberius's technical capability into funded, winnable pursuits.
The ideal candidate has run capture campaigns inside DoD or IC acquisition environments, understands how programs of record actually get built, and can operate with the pace and informality of a startup while speaking fluently to program offices, primes, and government stakeholders.
What You'll Do
Own capture strategy and execution for strategic pursuits across DoD and IC customers, from early qualification through award
Identify, qualify, and prioritize opportunities aligned with Tiberius's programs and technical roadmap, including bid/no-bid recommendations to leadership
Build and execute capture plans: customer engagement strategy, win themes, competitive positioning, teaming approach, and price-to-win input

Identify and negotiate teaming relationships with primes, subcontractors, and industry partners where capability gaps exist

Support proposal development: shape win themes, review compliance, and contribute to proposal sections as needed
Track and report pursuit status, pipeline, and capture milestones through the CRM, in partnership with the RevOps Manager
Represent Tiberius at industry days, technical forums, and customer engagements
Capture Process & Competitive Strategy
Lead gate reviews (qualify, pursue, propose, submit) with clear go/no-go criteria and executive sign-off
Develop win themes and discriminators grounded in Tiberius's actual technical differentiation, not generic value props
Coordinate black-hat and competitive assessment sessions ahead of major pursuits
Maintain a live capture pipeline with accurate stage, value, probability, and next-action data
Work with contracts and finance on pricing strategy and cost-realism for major pursuits
What You'll Bring
5+ years of capture management experience in DoD or IC acquisition environments
Demonstrated track record of shaping and winning defense programs, from early-stage pursuits through program of record
Strong understanding of DoD/IC acquisition pathways: FAR/DFARS, OTAs, SBIR/STTR, MTA, IDIQ, and program-of-record transitions
Experience building and negotiating teaming agreements with primes, subs, and industry partners
Excellent relationship-building skills across government, industry, and internal technical stakeholders
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort presenting to senior government and executive audiences
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment with minimal
