Build Rackner’s Air Force Business

Rackner is seeking a Senior Federal Business Development Executive to expand our presence across the U.S. Air Force market.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands the Air Force mission, brings credible customer and partner relationships, and can turn market needs into new business.

You will work directly with Rackner’s executive, technical, capture, proposal, and delivery leaders. As our business development team grows, your market insight and results will help shape where Rackner competes next.

What You Will Do

  • Build relationships with Air Force customers, partners, and industry stakeholders.
  • Identify mission needs and develop qualified business opportunities.
  • Create and advance a focused Air Force pipeline.
  • Open new accounts and strengthen Rackner’s market access.
  • Connect customer challenges with relevant technology and services.
  • Develop teaming approaches with primes, small businesses, and technology partners.
  • Work with internal teams as opportunities move through capture, proposal, and award.
  • Represent Rackner at customer meetings, partner discussions, conferences, and industry events.

You will lead front-end business development and remain engaged as opportunities progress. This role does not currently include people-management responsibilities.

What You Bring

You may be a strong fit if you have:

  • Significant business development experience in the U.S. Air Force market.
  • A demonstrated record of originating, shaping, and helping close new federal business.
  • Meaningful ownership or contribution toward federal contract awards of $10 million or more in total contract value.
  • Current, relevant relationships across Air Force customer and partner communities.
  • Strong understanding of Air Force missions and acquisition environments.
  • Experience selling federal technology services such as DevSecOps, cloud modernization, AI/ML, software engineering, cybersecurity, or data solutions.
  • The independence, judgment, and follow-through to succeed in a growing organization.

Relevant Air Force knowledge may come from military, federal civilian, acquisition, operational, technical, or industry experience.

You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be able to understand technical capabilities, ask informed questions, and involve the right subject-matter experts.

Why Rackner

At Rackner, you will have the opportunity to help grow a federal technology business supporting critical defense and public-sector missions.

You will do more than manage an existing account list. This role brings together customer engagement, market development, opportunity creation, partner strategy, and close collaboration across executive, technical, capture, proposal, delivery, and mission-focused teams.

Rackner has delivered more than $30 million in recent federal awards and supports mission-critical work across defense, civilian, and public-sector environments. We are looking for a Senior Federal Business Development Executive who can build on that momentum by expanding our Air Force relationships, developing qualified opportunities, and helping Rackner compete in areas where we can deliver meaningful results.

  • Company-supported certifications aligned with current and future program work
  • 401(k) with 100% company match up to 6%
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
