That is why we are developing a robotic combat system that operationalizes RAS and integrates them with existing infrastructure and current capability frameworks.

ABOUT THE JOB

Business Development (BD) leads within MFX are responsible for identifying, shaping and capturing opportunities to grow revenue for the business line. BD leads serve as the bridge between prospects/clients and the broader team, conveying warfighter needs to the Product and Engineering teams to ensure that Anduril products consistently meet or exceed user expectations and mission demands.

About the job

At Skylight, engagement managers are responsible for driving the overall success of our client work. They draw on their expertise in areas such as  product management practices, risk/issue management, stakeholder management, continual improvement, and contract administration in order to deliver the highest levels of client service and work.

At Skylight, engagement managers are responsible for driving the overall success of our client work. They draw on their expertise in areas such as product management practices, risk/issue management, stakeholder management, continual improvement, and contract administration in order to deliver the highest levels of client service and work.

In this role, the engagement manager will lead the delivery of a net-new, 0–1 product in the child welfare space, guiding a cross-functional team from early ambiguity through to tangible outcomes on an accelerated timeline. They will be responsible for establishing clarity where little exists—defining priorities, shaping the product direction in close partnership with stakeholders, and ensuring the team can move quickly while staying grounded in user needs and policy constraints. This includes setting up pragmatic product management practices, enabling rapid iteration, and making thoughtful tradeoffs to balance speed, quality, and impact.

They will also serve as the primary point of accountability for navigating complexity and risk, proactively identifying potential issues and addressing them before they impact delivery. Given the sensitive and high-stakes nature of the domain, the engagement manager will need to operate with sound judgment, ensuring that decisions are both responsible and action-oriented. At the same time, they will build and maintain strong relationships with senior stakeholders, translating ambiguity into clear plans, aligning on expectations, and communicating progress with transparency and confidence.

Success in this role requires the ability to lead teams through uncertainty while maintaining momentum, fostering a culture of ownership, adaptability, and continuous improvement. The engagement manager will ensure that the engagement remains operationally sound—managing timelines, scope, and contract expectations—while empowering the team to deliver meaningful, human-centered outcomes in a space where the work directly impacts children and families.

What you’ll do

• Lead a cross-functional team (product, design, engineering, etc.) to deliver a 0–1 product from ambiguity to launch on an accelerated timeline
• Guide the team in shaping product vision, priorities, and roadmap in close partnership with senior stakeholders
• Enable the team to translate complex policy, operational, and user needs into actionable product decisions and deliverables
• Drive alignment and decision-making across senior stakeholders, ensuring clarity on goals, tradeoffs, and progress
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks, empowering the team to navigate constraints without losing momentum
• Establish and reinforce lightweight product and delivery practices that support speed, quality, and continuous learning
• Ensure the team is incorporating user feedback and real-world insights throughout the product development process
• Hold the team accountable to outcomes, timelines, and quality, making clear tradeoffs to maintain forward progress
• Foster a strong, collaborative team culture grounded in ownership, adaptability, and mission-driven work
• Oversee contract execution, ensuring delivery aligns with scope, milestones, and client expectations
• Communicate engagement status, risks, and outcomes clearly to both client and internal leadership
• Serve as a team-oriented, collaborative leader with both client and internal leadership, contribute to performance management and talent retention strategies, to include staff hiring, onboarding, development and growth
• Translate the client’s objectives and constraints into an engagement approach that will deliver a unique experience and impactful results in the shortest amount of time possible
• Set up the team for successful delivery by removing obstacles, coaching them on how to become more collaborative and self-organizing, and enabling the work they do rather than impose how it’s done
• Provide management- and team-level visibility into the status and health of the engagement and serve as primary coordinator for budget, travel, and other administrative requirements
• Manage contract financials and health

What we're looking for

Minimum qualifications

• Experience leading teams in 0–1 product development, from concept through initial launch, for a complex project or program, preferably in a product management, delivery, or consulting capacity
• Experience directly managing and coaching cross-functional teams (product, design, engineering)
• Demonstrated ability to deliver under tight timelines while maintaining quality and team health
• Strong judgment and decision-making skills in high-ambiguity, high-stakes environments
• Experience facilitating executive-level decision-making and navigating stakeholder conflict, building alignment in complex, multi-layered environments
• Experience managing subcontractors or partner organizations within a delivery team
• Financial acumen, including managing budgets, burn rates, and forecasting within a contract
• Strong ability to turn ambiguous, evolving requirements into clear plans, priorities, and actionable work for teams and stakeholders

• Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams or client engagements while maintaining high-quality, outcome-driven delivery
• Ability to identify and remove blockers across policy, operational, and technical domains to keep teams moving forward
• Comfort working with technical systems, data flows, and legacy environments, with enough fluency to collaborate effectively with engineering and data teams
• Experience working in or with government or other highly regulated environments, or the ability to quickly navigate complex regulatory contexts
• Ability to build trusted relationships with clients and partners, and communicate effectively in a professional services environment
• Commitment to agile and iterative delivery approaches, especially continuous improvement, facilitating retrospectives and applying learnings to improve team performance and outcomes
• Ability to travel for work from time to time
• Passion for improving public outcomes through better government services
• A mindset and work approach that aligns with Skylight's core values

Nice-to-have qualifications

• Experience working in the child welfare or broader human services domain
• Experience launching products in highly regulated or policy-constrained environments
• Background in consulting or professional services, particularly in client-facing delivery roles

• Familiarity with data-informed product development, including defining metrics and using data to guide decisions
• Experience working on digital services that serve vulnerable or historically underserved populations
• Experience working on digital services that serve youth and young adults, with youth and young adults
• Experience scaling early-stage products or transitioning from 0–1 to more mature product phases
• Prior experience working in the civic tech space
