Strategic Business Developer

Position Summary

Reporting directly to the President of TRPC, the Business Development & Strategic Growth Specialist will support high-impact initiatives to drive the company's growth, government contracting success, and strategic outreach.

This position is designed for someone who thinks like a business leader: a deal-closer, a relationship-builder, a creative problem-solver.
