2. About you

You deeply understand large military headquarters Skillful planners, mainly in the rank of O-4 to O-6, respect you and care what you have to say
You pay attention to detail. People rely on you. At your previous teams, you had a reputation as a workhorse Example: we’re about to run a planning exercise, which will be USEASTCOM’s first exposure to our product. No one is worried, because they know you’ve taken care of it
You can get things from large government organizations Example: our engineer needs admin access to a system on JWICS, in order to diagnose technical issues. It’s an unusual request, and no one at the customer knows what to do. Everyone tells you it’s not possible, but you love a bureaucratic challenge. You solve the problem with a few phone calls
You have technical skill You don’t need to code, but you do need to be savvy. Can you become a power user of our product and talk engineering with the customer?
You work well with customers You understand them, and they confide in you. Users ask you to have a beer
You’re intense about our mission. It’s a core part of who you are
You’re ambitious. We’re getting bigger. You should too
You hold a current Top Secret clearance with eligibility for SCI

3. About the job

You will report to our Senior Operations Manager for Global Operations. Your single most common task is to implement Onebrief at a new customer. Example:

USEASTCOM (fictional Combatant Command) has just purchased a Onebrief license. Their headquarters and all of their Service Component Commands will start planning in Onebrief. You fly to the USEASTCOM headquarters routinely to make this happen
The core planning team is excited about Onebrief, but there’s a lot of other planners and stakeholders who are skeptical. You need win them over
They’ve seen demos yet, but they’re not familiar with the product. You will need to train them
If their first major planning event (such as a Mission Analysis conference) is a success, then they’re much more likely to succeed with Onebrief. You will make it a success

You will also:

Lead our exercise program. We routinely provide exercises, which customers use both to assess our product (before a sale) and learn it (after a sale)
Use your observations of our users to recommend product improvements
Provide face-to-face and remote customer support
Develop an understanding of customer social dynamics in order to support renewals and future sales
When responding to incidents (product is unavailable, broken, or not delighting the customer), coordinate with the customer and our product engineering team
Your responsibilities aren’t limited to this list! We’re on this great adventure together, and we’ll each do what it takes for the team to succeed

To succeed, you’ll need a mastery of operational planning at multi-star headquarters. When you speak, do lead planners listen? Do Generals and Admirals?

You’ll also need technical skill. You don’t need to code, but you do need to be savvy. Can you become a power user of our product and talk engineering with the customer?
