Mission Deployment Lead

Job description

ABOUT THE COMPANY America is under sustained cyber attack. Our adversaries infiltrate our networks, steal our IP, and degrade the digital infrastructure that modern life runs on. They’ve learned—correctly—that those attacks rarely produce consequences. Twenty was founded to change that, by making our adversaries think twice before they attack us. Our vision is American and allied primacy in cyberspace—a future where they cannot contest us, deterrence is assured, and the free world remains secure. Founded in 2024, Twenty Technologies (www.twenty.io http://www.twenty.io) industrializes offensive cyber operations for the U.S. and its allies. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, Twenty has raised $168M from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Caffeinated Capital, Friends & Family Capital, Point72 Ventures, General Catalyst, and In-Q-Tel.

We are looking for a Mission Deployment Lead to make Twenty’s products operationally useful for Intelligence Community users. This role is for someone who understands cyber operations, targeting, networking environments, and mission planning. You will work directly with operators, analysts, mission owners, program staff, product managers, and engineers.

This is a mission adoption role, not a quota-carrying sales role. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - 5+ years prior experience as a cyber operator, targeter, mission planner, or intelligence professional supporting real-world operational workflows in the Intelligence Community. - Direct experience with complex cyber operations, while supporting operators, targeters, mission leads, technical directors, and program stakeholders. - Working understanding of cyber mission workflows and how they intersect with intelligence production, planning, tasking, execution support, and assessment. - Ability to learn complex software quickly and explain it clearly to technical and non-technical users. - Experience with graph-based tools, link-analysis platforms, analytic platforms, BI tools, mission systems, or workflow software. - Strong written communication. You can turn ambiguous field input into concise requirements, action items, status updates, and executive-ready summaries. - Bias toward ownership in ambiguous environments.
