About Onebrief
Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. By transforming this work, Onebrief makes the staff as a whole superhuman - meaning faster, smarter, and more efficient.
We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.
Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $320m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Sapphire Ventures, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $2.15B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.
At Battle Road, a Onebrief company, we’re building the next generation of military modeling and simulation technology through AtomEngine, our modern, game-engine-based platform.
We are replacing decades-old legacy systems with a more accurate, flexible, and operationally relevant simulation environment. Our technology is already being used in major U.S. military training exercises and command environments.
We are seeking a Partner Engagement Manager who wants their technical work to directly influence how military leaders train, plan, and make decisions. For example:
USEASTCOM (fictional Combatant Command) will be using Atom Engine to run war-gaming exercises and simulations. You fly to the USEASTCOM headquarters routinely to make this happen
The core exercise planning team is excited about Atom Engine, but there are users and stakeholders who are skeptical. You need win them over.
They’ve seen demos, but they’re not familiar with the product. You will need to train them.
If their first major exercise is a success, then they’re much more likely to succeed with Atom Engine. You will make it a success.
About you
You love our users, and you want to work with them.
You pay attention to detail. People rely on you. On your previous teams, you had a reputation as a workhorse. Example: we’re about to run a planning exercise, which will be the client’s first exposure to our product. No one is worried because you’ve developed a deep understanding of the exercise's goals, personalities, and workflows.
You can get things from large government organizations Example: our engineer needs admin access to a system on JWICS in order to diagnose technical issues. It’s an unusual request, and no one at the customer knows what to do. Everyone tells you it’s not possible, but you love a bureaucratic challenge. You solve the problem with a few phone calls.
You’re technically adept. You don’t need to code, but you do need to be savvy. Can you become a power user of our product and talk engineering with the customer?
You work well with customers. You demonstrate strong interpersonal skills by cultivating trust, aligning diverse perspectives, and communicating with clarity and influence.
You’re intense about our mission and passionate about Wargaming and simuations. It’s a core part of who you are
You’re proactive and adaptable. Comfortable working autonomously or with cross-functional teams, especially in fast-paced or ambiguous settings.
You communicate clearly, concisely, and candidly. Our Company relies on you to assess the situation and effectively communicate your assessment and recommendations to inform strategic decisions.
You hold a current Top Secret clearance with eligibility for SCI and have the ability to access DOD facilities and installations.

Explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences

Engage constructively with key stakeholders and respond to challenging questions with clarity and professionalism
Your responsibilities aren’t limited to this list! We’re on this great adventure together, and we’ll each do what it takes for the team to succeed
What We Look For:
3+ years of professional experience in a customer-facing role in a technical setting
Proven experience in leading operational planning within a military context, preferably at multi-star headquarters.
