The Special Projects Manager, Office of the CEO reports to the Chief of Staff and drives CEO-priority projects that are too important to be left to normal staff processes but not yet mature enough to belong cleanly to one business unit.

The role is especially valuable across Voyager's focus areas: defense and space, new partnerships, government strategy, technology roadmaps, capital markets, M&A, and customer positioning. The ideal candidate is analytical, entrepreneurial, and comfortable operating in ambiguity - capable of building a clear decision memo or a compelling strategic deck, and equally capable of getting a stalled initiative moving. It is focused on project execution and opportunity development rather than executive operations.
Essential Functions

• Lead and manage high-priority strategic initiatives directly for the Chief of Staff. Examples include:

Business Growth & Opportunity Development

• Build business cases and financial models to support CEO and board-level investment decisions
• Coordinate across finance, strategy, business development, legal, communications, and operations to advance opportunities
• Track and synthesize market signals, competitive dynamics, and customer intelligence relevant to Voyager's growth agenda

Financial Analysis & Decision Support

Serve as an analytical engine for the CEO's office:

• Build and maintain financial models for strategic initiatives, market sizing, and business cases
• Prepare investment memos, scenario analyses, and return frameworks for CEO and board review
• Synthesize complex financial, operational, and market data into crisp executive-level recommendations
• Support capital markets activities, including preparation of materials for investors and financing discussions
• Track financial performance of special projects and surface early indicators of risk or opportunity

Enterprise Problem Solving

• Jump into stalled initiatives, clarify ownership, and build execution plans
• Translate CEO priorities into cross-functional action while building trust and preserving working relationships across the organization
• Help teams get unstuck - diagnose root cause and propose a clear path forward
