Job Description

The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) is a key player in the Department of Defense's efforts to foster commercial partnerships within innovation ecosystems across the United States. This initiative is staffed by active-duty and reserve personnel, government civilians, and contracted consultants.

DIU's headquarters is located in Mountain View, CA, with satellite offices in Cambridge, MA, Washington DC, and Austin, TX.

This is an opportunity to express interest in serving as a part-time Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) at DIU. The service lead will contact you when there are billet openings that match your profile.

Key Responsibilities

Part-time reservists provide support to DIU's Portfolio and Engagement teams based on their military and civilian expertise. Their civilian expertise plays a significant role in most of the work they support, rather than their military background.

The type of support provided will vary depending on active projects and programs in progress. Reservists will provide business operations and professional services in support of the Directors and Program Managers. They may act as an interface between the DOD, entrepreneurs, start-up firms, and commercial technology companies to increase DOD access to leading-edge commercial technologies, processes, and technical talent.

Types of Project Support

  • Conduct market research and engage with the commercial sector to support project curation and execution (as needed)
  • Assist with contracting activities and document support for the directors and program/project managers

Types of Content Creation Support

  • Technical writing
  • Drafting, creating, and editing presentations, reports, summaries, and minutes of meetings, white papers
  • Branding and storytelling materials

Desired Candidate Qualities

  • Ability to thrive in a culture where self-motivation is necessary and communication is paramount. Capacity to juggle numerous tasks and competing priorities
  • Understanding of the expectations of supervisors, stakeholders, teammates, and ability to develop strong working relationships to achieve shared goals. Proven ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
  • Strong written and oral communication skills; ability to present complex matters clearly and simply; effective organizational skills; ability to be proactive, take initiative, and follow through
  • Demonstrated ability to gather and analyze various data points (qualitative and quantitative) and distill that information down to the most salient insights for the Portfolio's business needs
  • Ability to distill and communicate highly complex issues for a technical and at times non-technical audience
  • Proficient computer skills, Google Suite a plus
  • High level of responsibility, ownership, and accountability
  • Able to effectively debate and use data as the basis of your argument
  • Passion for great DoD-Silicon Valley customer experiences
