We are seeking a senior strategist who can connect government direction and customer needs to Lockheed Martin Space’s enterprise choices. This person will assess national security priorities, defense and civil space strategies, budgets, policy, and emerging mission needs, then explain their implications for markets, capabilities, investments, and partnerships.
The role sits within Enterprise Strategy and works closely with the Intelligence on team, Strategic Planning, Product Strategy, business areas, and customer-facing teams. The successful candidate will bring credible government and customer perspective, strong analytical judgment, and the ability to move from external signals to a clear recommendation for senior leaders.
What you will do
● Monitor and assess U.S. government and relevant allied strategies, budget priorities, acquisition direction, policy developments, and mission needs affecting the space and national security markets.
● Translate those signals into specific implications for Lockheed Martin Space: where to compete, which capabilities to build or partner for, what assumptions to test, and where leadership attention is needed.
● Develop integrated assessments of customer priorities, funding paths, timelines, and constraints; distinguish stated intent from funded or executable demand.
● Work with business areas, government affairs, business development, product teams, and technical leaders to test hypotheses and connect enterprise strategy with customer reality.
● Identify capability gaps and emerging opportunities across products, technology, workforce, facilities, partnerships, and customer relationships.
● Produce concise executive briefings, strategy papers, and recommendations that state the evidence, uncertainty, implications, and proposed next steps.
● Contribute government and customer insight to enterprise reviews, strategic planning, market studies, and major growth decisions.
● Build and maintain a network of informed internal and external relationships, in coordination with established customer engagement and government affairs channels.
