Why work at Sitreps
- Mission-Driven Work: Directly support national security and veteran employment — two high-impact, purpose-rich areas.
- Hybrid & Remote Flexibility: Many roles offer remote options (U.S.-based); some positions require on-site presence in Arlington, VA, New York, or Litchfield, VA; a hybrid workspace is the norm.
- Career Growth: Early-stage company where leaders are expected to build functions from scratch and grow into C-level roles (e.g., Head of Sales → CRO path).
- Diverse Roles: Opportunities span professional services, engineering (forward deployed, data science), intelligence analysis, sales, and operations — appealing to both veterans and civilians.
- Culture: Described as “authentic, expertise-driven, and grounded in real connection” — not a typical corporate recruiter but a community-first organization.
