Director, Ops Analysis (R5036)

Shield AI is building intelligent autonomy systems for the defense of service members and civilians. The Hivemind Solutions organization applies Shield AI’s autonomy stack to mission-critical systems across air, maritime, strike, weapons, space, and collaborative autonomy domains.

We are seeking a Director, Operations Analysis to lead a team responsible for turning operational problems into quantitative insights that shape product strategy, engineering priorities, customer engagement, and mission outcomes. This leader will manage and grow a high-performing Operations Analysis team that uses modeling, simulation, wargaming, campaign analysis, and mission-level trade studies to help determine what Hivemind should build, why it matters, and how it performs in realistic operational contexts.

This is a leadership role for someone who can operate at the intersection of autonomy, military operations, mission engineering, modeling and simulation, product strategy, and customer-facing analysis. The right candidate will be technically credible, analytically rigorous, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to translate complex operational questions into clear recommendations for executives, engineers, business development leaders, and government customers.
