Vice President of DoD

Oddball believes that the best products are built when companies understand and value the things they are working on. We value learning and growth and the ability to make a big impact at a small company. We believe that we can make big changes happen and improve the daily lives of millions of people by bringing quality software to the federal space. 

We’re looking for a Vice President of DoD who blends mission credibility with hands-on product or program delivery experience inside the Air Force and adjacent DoD environments. This role is not a traditional business development executive—it’s built for someone who understands how Air Force programs operate, maintains strong relationships across DoD digital and mission communities, and can translate real-world challenges into modern software and platform solutions.

You’ll partner with our technical leadership and growth teams to open doors, identify mission needs, shape opportunities, and lead execution/program delivery to position our capabilities across the Air Force and broader DoD modernization efforts.

What you’ll bring:

• Hands-on experience inside or directly supporting Air Force programs, PEOs, and/or modernization organizations—with familiarity across adjacent DoD components.
• Strong relationships within Air Force digital communities (e.g., AFLCMC, PEO Digital, Platform One, Kessel Run, Cloud One) and ideally connections across broader DoD technical or mission programs.
• Experience working in or leading product, platform, engineering, or modernization efforts—Agile, DevSecOps, cloud-native architectures, or enterprise transformation.
• Ability to translate mission requirements into technical problem statements, modernization strategies, or solution concepts.
• Comfort supporting growth and capture activities, even if your background is primarily delivery-focused rather than traditional BD.
• Clear and confident communication with senior military, technical, and industry stakeholders.
• Understanding of DoD acquisition, funding, budgeting, and procurement cycles; familiarity with how software moves through requirements, prototyping, testing, accreditation, and fielding.
• Experience contributing to proposals or technical narratives is valuable but not required.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to bridge customer needs, engineering teams, and business strategy.
• Perform other related duties as assigned. 

Requirements:

• Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. In alignment with federal contract requirements, certain roles may also require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a federal background investigation and a security clearance.

Benefits:

• Fully remote (U.S. based) with frequent travel to client and partner sites as needed.
