About the role

Bradford Jacobs is assisting an AI drone solutions company, helping business customers improve mission-critical business operations. Since 2017, the company has leveraged software development expertise and grown drone design and manufacturing capabilities.

We’re looking for a Government & International Programs Manager to spearhead global certification and compliance efforts—think FAA, Blue UAS, Canadian drone initiatives, NATO contracts, and more.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of government procurement, regulatory strategy, and high-tech innovation. If acronyms like SBIR, BVLOS, and OTA don’t scare you, keep reading.

What You’ll Do:

  • Command FAA certifications and BVLOS rulemaking submissions.
  • Lead Blue UAS certification strategy and documentation.
  • Navigate Canadian drone regulations, NRC grants, and Transport Canada programs.
  • Own grant hunting: SBIR/STTR, NRC-IRAP, ISED, DoD—if it funds drones, you're on it.
  • Drive federal and NATO-aligned proposal submissions on SAM.gov and Buyandsell.gc.ca.
  • Collaborate with legal, engineering, and external advisors to stay bulletproof on compliance.
  • Track regulatory shifts, defense procurement changes, and EO impacts across the U.S., Canada, and NATO zones.

What You Bring:

  • 4–7 years in government procurement, aerospace compliance, or defense strategy.
  • Hands-on experience with FAA, DIU, NRC, or NATO procurement systems.
  • Deep familiarity with Blue UAS, OTA, SBIR, IRAP, or ISED programs.
  • A proven knack for technical writing and grant proposals.
  • Must be a U.S. or Canadian citizen (dual citizenship is a bonus).

Compensation:

  • Salary CAD90,000 - CAD130,000 + Bonus depending on experience
