    About this role

    About Q2IMPACT

    Q2IMPACT is a mission-driven firm delivering data-driven solutions across defense, diplomacy, development, and global security environments. Built on nearly 30 years of experience, we help U.S. Government and international partners turn complexity into clarity through performance analytics, adaptive management, security cooperation, AI-enabled tools, and practical technology solutions.

    Q2IMPACT is on the move. We are combining decades of field-tested expertise with cutting-edge AI, digital platforms, and human-centered innovation to solve hard problems for mission partners.

    This is a growth moment for the company—and we are looking for a BD leader who wants to help shape what comes next.Position Overview Q2IMPACT is seeking a Senior Business Development Director who is a true growth driver: strategic, organized, connected, persuasive, and hands-on.

    This person will help lead expansion across the DoW, national security, security cooperation, and adjacent mission markets while bringing energy and discipline to the full business development lifecycle. This role is ideal for a go-getter who knows how to open doors, build trust, read the market, shape opportunities early, and then roll up their sleeves to drive capture and proposal execution.

    You should be equally comfortable talking strategy with senior leaders, building relationships with clients and partners, leading a proposal process, and making sure the details do not fall through the cracks.

    Success in this role requires the rare combination of hustle and structure: someone who can schmooze with purpose, turn relationships into actionable opportunities, manage a disciplined pipeline, lead capture strategy, and help produce winning proposals in a fast-moving small business environment.

    Who You Are A go-getter who creates momentum instead of waiting for direction Highly organized, disciplined, and able to manage multiple pursuits without losing the thread Relationship-driven, credible, and comfortable
