About Us

Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.

About Vantive Technology

Vantive Technology (aka “Vantive”) is a stealth incubation within the Red Cell Partners’ ecosystem. As a pre-seed start-up, we are looking for highly motivated and skilled individuals to join our team at the foundational level.

Vantive is a scenario planning and course of action engine for 21st-century supply chains. It integrates seamlessly with existing systems (e.g. ERPs, PLMs, and MES), enabling predictive modeling across tiers, geographies, and time horizons. 

Our platform goes beyond visibility, simulating degradation; quantifying tradeoffs for cost, time, and mission impact; and generating actionable plans aligned with users’ objectives. Where others stop at visibility, Vantive delivers the optionality to anticipate, model, and act before disruptions cascade.

Job Overview

We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented, and action-driven individual to join our growing team as a subject matter expert on supply chain. You are an expert at supply chain taxonomy, provenance, and scenario planning with the ability to help shape the analytical underpinnings of our technology and guide how we translate industrial complexity into actionable data and models.

You will work closely with our applied ML engineers and full-stack developers to provide supply chain context, data structures, and conceptual frameworks for the modeling environment. You will also engage directly with clients to understand their operations, define use cases, and demonstrate how Vantive’s platform supports data-driven decision-making. 

This is a 1099 position with the opportunity to convert to a full-time W2 role after 3-4 months,based on performance and fit.

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.
