Capture Manager

Responsibilities Shape the Pursuits That Shape the Mission At Peraton, we don't just compete for contracts — we win the work that powers some of the nation's most consequential missions. We're looking for an ambitious, deal-closing Capture Manager to lead our highest-priority Federal Civilian pursuits and turn complex customer challenges into transformative, multi-hundred-million-dollar wins.

A team built to win. Partner daily with experienced Business Development Executives, Solution Architects, and the deepest bench of Subject Matter Experts in the industry. Real ownership. From strategy to solution to signature, you'll drive the win — not hand it off. What You'll Do Lead the pursuit.
