About Leidos

Leidos is a trusted innovation partner to the U.S. Navy and the broader maritime community, delivering advanced solutions across combat systems integration, autonomy, and mission-critical technologies. Maritime growth is a cornerstone of Leidos’ NorthStar 2030 strategy, and we are investing aggressively to expand our impact in surface warfare and combat systems.

The Opportunity

Leidos is seeking a seasoned Business Development (BD) Manager to drive growth across U.S. Navy surface warfare and combat systems programs. This role is ideal for a strategic, customer-focused leader who thrives at the intersection of technology, mission impact, and capture execution. You will shape pursuits from early customer engagement through contract award while helping differentiate Leidos in a highly competitive defense market.

Key Responsibilities

Build and sustain trusted relationships with U.S. Navy surface warfare, combat systems, and acquisition stakeholders.
Develop and execute winning business development and capture strategies aligned to Maritime growth objectives.
Identify, qualify, and mature a robust pipeline of opportunities supporting near- and long-term revenue growth.
Lead capture activities across the full business development lifecycle—from lead generation to proposal submission and award.
Partner with senior executives, capture managers, program leaders, and solution architects to align strategy, messaging, and execution.
Conduct competitive assessments and develop strategies that clearly differentiate Leidos capabilities.
Collaborate across the Leidos enterprise to bring the full breadth of company capabilities to customer challenges.
Support revenue, pipeline, and award targets through disciplined opportunity management.
Develop marketing collateral, white papers, and thought leadership materials in partnership with technical teams.
Represent Leidos at industry days, trade shows, conferences, and customer engagements.
Apply AI-enabled tools to improve market analysis, strategy development, and pipeline execution.

Basic Qualifications

Ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance; active clearance strongly preferred.
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with 10+ years of experience; or Master’s degree with 7+ years of experience.
Demonstrated understanding of naval surface warfare, maritime operations, sensors, platforms, and combat systems.
Proven experience leading business development and capture efforts within the aerospace and defense industry.
Track record of shaping and winning new business with U.S. Navy and DoD customers.
Established relationships with senior government and industry stakeholders.
Strong knowledge of government acquisition processes, contracting, and customer buying behaviors.
Ability to collaborate effectively across geographically and organizationally diverse teams.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level briefings.
Willingness to travel up to approximately 33%, including CONUS and OCONUS, as required.

Preferred Qualifications

DAWIA Level III and/or PMP certification.
Experience with PPBE processes.
Familiarity with operational test and evaluation environments.
Formal training in Business Development or Capture Management.

Why Leidos?

At Leidos, you’ll have the opportunity to directly influence naval modernization efforts while working alongside industry-leading technologists and strategists. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a mission-driven culture focused on innovation and impact.

Securing Your Data

Beware of fake employment opportunities using Leidos’ name. Leidos will never ask you to provide payment-related information during any part of the employment application process (i.e., ask you for money), nor will Leidos ever advance money as part of the hiring process (i.e., send you a check or money order before doing any work). Further, Leidos will only communicate with you through emails that are generated by the Leidos.com automated system – never from free commercial services (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail) or via WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. If you received an email purporting to be from Leidos that asks for payment-related information or any other personal information (e.g., about you or your previous employer), and you are concerned about its legitimacy, please make us aware immediately by emailing us at [email protected].

If you believe you are the victim of a scam, contact your local law enforcement and report the incident to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Commitment to Non-Discrimination

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, ethnicity, age, national origin, citizenship, religion, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, family structure, marital status, ancestry, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran or military status, or any other basis prohibited by law.
