THE OPPORTUNITY</b></div><div></div><div><br>
This is a ground-floor role on a newly signed program, with the chance to grow into a leadership position in the subsidiary as it scales.

For the right leader, there is tremendous opportunity to grow within the company as this initiative expands.</div><div></div><div><b><br>

<div><b>Preferred</b></div><ul>

<div><b>GROWTH PATH</b></div><div></div><div><br>

LOCATION</b></div><div></div><div><br>
Based at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey. Visa sponsorship is not available.</div><div></div><div><b><br>
