• Customer Facing: Comfortable meeting with sophisticated customers and managing expectations on large high value projects.

Experience and Skills:

Ideal candidates will have the following experience.

• Communication: Strong interpersonal, public speaking, and written communications skills are a must.
• Capture: Proposal and Capture activities - comfortable with leading and/or drafting proposals both individually and as part of a team on larger proposals.
• Education: Candidates with science or engineering Masters degrees or MBA’s are preferred, however, very strong equivalent on-the-job experience may be sufficient.
• Technical: Although you don’t need to be a current or former software engineer, you need to have experience working closely with software engineers at a deep technical hands-on level.

Persuasive Writing and Meetings:

A successful applicant at MapLarge will enjoy creating content that is persuasive based on thoughtful data driven analysis for both internal and external consumption.

• A successful candidate would be able to rapidly learn new concepts and write about proposed solutions in a jargon free fashion that helps readers understand not just the conclusion, but the rationale that got there and to present it in a way that is open to improvement and adaptation based on the feedback of others.
• Internally decisions are made in a principle driven way, not by chain of command, but based on open minded team-driven conversations among very intelligent people who quickly evolve ideas to improve them in a collaborative way. We expect successful candidates to be able to participate in these kinds of conversations in a productive way internally and also to carry forward these sorts of conversations to engage customers in the same kind of dialogue.
