About Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman sells to governments, so its sellers are business development and capture managers who shape a program before the requirement is written and then chase the contract award. BD sits inside each sector: in Aeronautics Systems a strategy and program development manager in Palmdale runs the Business Acquisition Process for a restricted program in the Air Dominance Division, from opportunity qualification through pursuit; in Space Systems a BD manager on the Utah propulsion campuses leads Air Force solid rocket motor pursuits; and in Defense Systems a director in northern Virginia owns growth and capture across the Weapon Systems Division's pipeline. Mission Systems hires a BD manager at its Microelectronics Center in Linthicum to work government and commercial customers and the primes for advanced packaging, and a strategic customer engagement lead in Maryland and Virginia who plans executive meetings with the military services, primes and international customers and keeps the pipeline systems of record. Abroad, Northrop Grumman Australia wants a manager of business development and capture in Canberra (Brisbane possible) to lead a small team of capture managers on aircraft sustainment and capability pursuits with Defence, and Northrop Grumman UK lists cloud engineering for national security customers in Cheltenham under the same titles. Entry comes through summer business development internships in Mesa, Arizona and Clearfield, Utah; the other seats are senior manager and director level and want citizenship of the country and a clearance (Secret or Top Secret in the US, NV1 in Australia).

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
