About the job
FutureSight is on the lookout for a dynamic and visionary Founding CEO to spearhead the launch of an innovative AI-driven platform designed to revolutionize how government contractors secure proposals.
In an industry fraught with complexities, government contractors often find themselves overwhelmed. Proposal teams face the daunting task of coordinating with subject matter experts (SMEs), sifting through outdated information, and manually ensuring compliance — all while navigating the intricacies of business development, legal, and financial processes. This results in lengthier proposal timelines, dismal win rates (below 45%), and elevated stress levels.
Our mission is to transform this conventional workflow. We are developing an AI-enabled orchestration platform that simplifies SME coordination, automates compliance tracking, and intelligently repurposes knowledge — all while maintaining the essential human and SME voice in proposals. This empowers contractors to expedite their processes, mitigate risks, and enhance their win rates.
As the Founding CEO, you will be responsible for crafting the vision for an AI platform tailored to the federal contracting market, valued at over $774 billion, that seamlessly integrates people, content, and compliance.
