About Leidos
At Leidos the sellers are business development managers who each own one government customer and build its pipeline long before a solicitation appears: HHS (with CDC and FDA), Veterans Affairs medical centers and their VISNs, the NRO, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the intelligence customer it calls MPO, and enterprise civil agencies, handing qualified pursuits to capture teams and staying on them through award. Each seat belongs to a sector and business area, so the Enterprise Civil manager in the Digital Sector answers to annual pipeline and bookings targets, a Kinetics manager in the Defense Sector grows the Navy and Marine Corps cruise missile portfolio, and a Leidos Energy director builds ties with engineering firms that serve gas and electric utilities, as partners and as tuck-in acquisition targets. The senior seats ask for captures above $100 million and pipelines of $1 billion to $4 billion, and the MPO account manager posting says a former government leader with mission credibility can win the job over a career business developer. Of its 29 sales-titled openings, 13 are business development or account growth seats, about seven are solution architects who write the technical side of captures and proposals, and nine only borrow the words (a software defined radio engineer, an earned value control account manager, a Salesforce developer, an AI intern). Twenty are in the US, led by Reston, Virginia (seven) and Maryland sites in Gaithersburg, Columbia, Odenton and Hanover; the UK has five (BD managers for government services and for the Home Office and national security, a talent-pool registration and two architects), Australia three and NATO one.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
