requirements.\nHelp integrate satellite imagery, geospatial data, analytics, and other intelligence sources into operational workflows.\nUnderstand intelligence processes sufficiently to communicate effectively with intelligence analysts, collection managers, operational planners, and senior government stakeholders.\nCoordinate with Vantor subject matter experts when deeper technical, analytical, engineering, or product expertise is required.\nCustomer Relationship Management\nEstablish and maintain strong relationships across customer organizations, from operational users through senior leadership.\nConduct regular customer engagements, mission reviews, working sessions, and program status discussions.\nCommunicate complex technical and operational concepts clearly to both technical

ability to operate independently with limited day-to-day supervision while maintaining strong communication with geographically dispersed leadership and technical teams.\nStrong judgment, discretion, cultural awareness, and professionalism.\nAbility and willingness to reside and work in the Middle East/Caucasus region and travel throughout the region and internationally as required.\nBachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.\nPreferred Qualifications\nPrior military, intelligence community, defense, aerospace, or national-security experience.\nExperience supporting a Ministry of Defense, intelligence service, combatant command, joint staff, or similar government organization.\nKnowledge of GEOINT, imagery intelligence (IMINT),

imagery.\nFamiliarity with GIS and geospatial platforms such as ArcGIS, QGIS, or comparable systems.\nExperience supporting deployment or adoption of advanced technology within operational government

priorities.\nCollaborative - knows when and how to bring Vantor technical and subject matter experts into customer engagements.\nExecution oriented - takes ownership of requirements and commitments and drives them through completion.\nLocation & Travel\nThis is an in-country / regionally based position in the Middle East and Caucasus, with significant direct engagement at customer locations.
