Careers
Come Build with Us to Shape the Future Acquisition System
Creative Defense Network works on the front lines of defense acquisition transformation. We partner with Portfolio Acquisition Executives, Rapid Capabilities Offices, key Pentagon offices, and acquisition professionals across the Department.
Our industry leading Defense Tech and Acquisition Substack reaches senior executives across DoD, Congress, and industry.
We're hiring high performers who are done analyzing the problem and ready to fix it. If you've spent years in a program office, an innovation hub, or across the acquisition enterprise pushing capabilities through the gauntlet — this is where you build it.
This is a startup. High ownership, fast pace, real impact. You'll operate with ambiguity, iterate quickly, and work without the bureaucracy you've spent years fighting.
