DescriptionTyto Athene is searching for a Vice President, Growth Strategy & Analytics to support our growing business.
The VP, Growth Strategy & Analytics owns the analytical engine behind the company's competitive and inorganic growth. Its defining responsibility is to quantify the growth value of capital decisions: modeling the win-probability (pWin) delta a prospective acquisition is expected to deliver across the pursuit pipeline before capital is committed, so corporate development and executive leadership can price and prioritize targets against growth outcomes — not financial multiples alone. The VP directs the team and serves as the connective tissue between corporate development, Capture, and Business Development. This role feeds Capture's win strategy; it does not own capture execution or bid ownership. Maintaining that boundary — informing without absorbing — is central to the role's success.
Responsibilities:
- Partner with Corporate Development on growth-side diligence for acquisition targets and major teaming decisions.
- Model the pWin delta a target is expected to “buy” across the pipeline — linking a target's capabilities, past performance, cleared talent, contract vehicles, and customer access to specific pursuit win probabilities.
- Assess the competitive and market-positioning implications of targets; identify where inorganic moves close capability or discriminator gaps.
- Deliver the growth-side investment thesis and risk view to inform go/no-go, valuation, and prioritization. (Pre-deal counterpart to the post-close integration owned by the VP, Sales Enablement & Transformation.)
Growth Analytics & Decision Support
- Own pipeline win-probability analytics and competitive intelligence that inform portfolio prioritization and B&P / investment allocation.
- Produce executive-ready analysis for the CGO organization and, as needed, PE sponsor and board discussions.
Leadership
- Lead, develop, and scale the realigned PTW team (initially 2); build the function's standards, tooling, and capacity.
What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)
- A standardized PTW methodology adopted and used consistently across priority pursuits.
- A working pWin-impact model applied to at least one live acquisition evaluation.
- A clear, respected, well-understood interface with Capture — informing win strategy without friction over ownership.
- Measurably sharper pursuit prioritization and competitive-positioning discipline.
Qualifications
Required:
- 8+ years in GovCon growth, business development, capture, price-to-win, competitive intelligence, or corporate development, with progressive leadership responsibility.
- Demonstrated PTW expertise: competitor cost modeling, pricing strategy, and win-probability methodologies.
- Experience supporting or leading M&A diligence, teaming analysis, or corporate development in a federal contracting context.
- Strong financial and quantitative modeling skills, with the ability to translate analysis into executive-level decisions.
Desired:
- MBA or advanced quantitative/analytical degree.
- Exposure to AI, quantum, or other emerging-technology pursuits.
- Experience in PE-backed or platform / roll-up environments.
- Active TS/SCI.
Core Competencies:
- Analytical rigor
- Executive communication
- Influence without authority
- Cross-functional partnership (Corp Dev / Capture / BD)
- Comfort operating at the intersection of finance and growth
Location:
- Tyto Athene Headquarters, Reston, VA
Travel:
- As needed primarily Northern Virginia / customer and corporate locations.
Compensation:
- Compensation is unique to each candidate and relative to the skills and experience they bring to the position. This does not guarantee a specific salary as compensation is based upon multiple factors such as education, experience, certifications, and other requirements.
Benefits:
- Highlights of our benefits include Health/Dental/Vision, 401(k) match, Paid Time Off, STD/LTD/Life Insurance, Referral Bonuses, professional development reimbursement, and parental leave.
