About this role & career path
A Senior Director BD path typically builds on account leadership, capture management, and multi-year pipeline ownership. At a firm like KBR, progression often means larger P&L influence, cross-sector portfolios, or broader regional/global BD leadership—contingent on win rates and market coverage, not a fixed ladder in the provided data.
Build the skills for this role
Prioritize capture planning, stakeholder mapping, proposal orchestration, and fluency in federal/commercial contracting norms for engineering services. No certification resources were supplied for this family; focus on demonstrated wins, sector networks, and executive communication over named credentials.
Prepare concise stories of multi-million pursuits you led: qualification, teaming, competitive positioning, and close. Expect questions on pipeline hygiene, how you partner with technical SMEs, and how you prioritize markets KBR serves (space, defense, energy, industrial). Bring thoughtful questions on segment strategy and recent business priorities.
Strong fit if you have senior BD ownership in complex engineering or government-adjacent services and can operate in Kansas City on a non-remote basis. Thin public employee-sentiment data here; weigh culture via direct conversations. Skip if you need remote work or pure commercial SaaS-style sales motion.
