About Onebrief
Onebrief builds collaboration and AI-powered workflow software for military planning and operational coordination.
Military planning is complex by nature, requiring teams to coordinate information, people, and decisions across systems and locations. Onebrief brings planning, collaboration, simulation, and AI into one connected environment, helping teams test strategies, adapt to changing conditions, and make decisions with greater clarity when the stakes are real.
We are a distributed team of builders from military, operational, and technology backgrounds who care deeply about improving how important work gets done. Some team members work remotely, while others work directly alongside customers in operational environments around the world.
Founded in 2019, Onebrief is backed by leading investors including General Catalyst, Battery Ventures, Insight Partners, Sapphire Ventures, and Human Capital. Valued at more than $2 billion, we continue to invest in product innovation, AI capabilities, and team growth.
Why This Role Exists
You will report to our Operations Manager for Federal Delivery. Your single most common task is to implement Onebrief at a new customer. Example:
A Federal Agency has just purchased a Onebrief license. Their headquarters and all of their Components will start planning in Onebrief. You will visit the headquarters routinely to make this happen.
The core planning team is excited about Onebrief, but there’s a lot of other planners and stakeholders who are skeptical. You need to win them over.
They’ve seen demos yet, but they’re not familiar with the product. You will need to train them.
If their first major planning event is a success, then they’re much more likely to succeed with Onebrief. You will make it a success.
