[Hiring] SkillBridge Fellowship @TurbineOne

Role Description

The ideal candidate will be an energetic, detail-oriented professional who is interested in national security and technology, and is comfortable operating in a fast-moving team-centric environment. Candidates should have excellent writing skills and be proficient in conducting basic research, drafting background papers, and presentations. This is a client-facing role that requires exceptional communication skills and the ability to learn and synthesize complex information quickly and effectively.

Responsibilities

• Serve on a client-facing team. Fellows are expected to quickly understand the priorities of each client and the nature of TurbineOne’s work.
• Must be able to understand specific and implied tasks, conduct independent research on cross-functional topics, develop materials for internal and external use, and identify and communicate issues and potential solutions.
• Engage in technology, business development, and other role-specific trainings to build out additional professional skillsets.
• Assist with the strategy and tactics around business development opportunities, including identification of mission needs and potential clients, as well as market research and analysis.
• Develop and maintain a professional network within the national and international security ecosystem.
• Perform other professionally appropriate assigned tasks as required.

Qualifications

• Sustained superior performance in military career, with desire to learn and grow in a highly mission-driven, defense-focused startup.
• Passion for supporting those that take risks for all of us.
• Enthusiasm and curiosity for technology.
• Willingness to continuously learn and push outside of one’s comfort zone.

Startup Culture Expectations

• Please refer to Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook for general expectations on what should be “normal” for a company like TurbineOne.
• Just like in the White House, you will need to make your own photocopies. No great startup can afford Executive Assistants or most other luxuries.
• Every employee will develop quarterly goals and metrics in order to transparently communicate and objectively measure one’s own performance.
• Everyone on the Team needs to be very comfortable with constant change, moving fast, sharing failures, embracing grit, and building things themselves. Most startups fail and no one will come to save us.
