Job Description:
Shield AI is seeking an Capture Portfolio Analyst, X-BAT Family of Systems (FoS)  to strengthen the analytical rigor, long-range planning, and operating discipline of the X-BAT FoS Capture organization.
As a core member of the X-BAT FoS Capture team, you will partner closely with the  X-BAT FoS Capture Organization to maintain a high-confidence view of the current and future opportunity pipeline and assist in driving decisive action across the portfolio. You will turn pipeline data into actionable insights that inform prioritization, resource decisions, revenue planning, and long-term growth strategy.
This role owns the integrity and quality of X-BAT FoS portfolio pipeline information in Salesforce and related reporting tools and will establish the standards, review the data for completeness and credibility, identify gaps or inconsistencies, and drive corrective actions across the portfolio.
The ideal candidate brings strong analytical skills, experience working with CRM and business-planning data, comfort partnering with Finance, and the ability to translate complex information into clear recommendations. This role will help ensure X-BAT FoS maintains a resilient pipeline across near-term pursuits and a three- to ten-year opportunity horizon.

What you'll do:
Capture Portfolio Strategy and Management

• Maintain an integrated view of the X-BAT FoS opportunity pipeline across near-term, mid-term, and long-range pursuits.

• Analyze opportunities using criteria including timing, estimated value, probability of win, market attractiveness, strategic relevance, expected revenue contribution, and resourcing requirements.

• Partner with the X-BAT FoS Capture Organization to identify priority opportunities, inform portfolio trade-space decisions, and recommend actions to strengthen the pipeline.

• Track changes in opportunity value, timing, stage progression, probability of win, customer funding, and other factors that affect forecast confidence.

• Identify pipeline gaps, timing shortfalls, concentration risks, single-point dependencies, and opportunities that lack sufficient capture activity or next steps.

• Recommend actions to create pipeline resilience, including alternate pursuits, adjacent customers, related mission areas, acquisition pathways, partner opportunities, and additional sources of demand.

• Maintain a forward-looking view of the X-BAT FoS opportunity space across a multi-year horizon and help identify and track actions needed to mature early opportunities into successful capture efforts.

Salesforce Data Quality and Reporting

• Serve as the X-BAT FoS Capture organization’s lead for pipeline-data integrity, reporting standards, and Salesforce opportunity-management discipline.

• Establish and maintain common expectations for opportunity stages, required data fields, forecast assumptions, probability assessments, next steps, and update cadence.

• Review Salesforce opportunity records for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and credibility; coordinate with account and opportunity owners to correct gaps, stale data, and unsupported assumptions.

• Develop and maintain concise dashboards, trackers, and pipeline-review products that provide visibility into portfolio health, capture status, forecast changes, and key risks.

• Partner with enterprise business-systems teams, as required, to improve reports, dashboards, workflows, and data structures that support X-BAT FoS pipeline management.

• Maintain common definitions, reporting guidance, and pipeline-management best practices across the organization.

Finance and Revenue Planning

• Partner closely with Finance to ensure a clear, traceable connection between Salesforce opportunity data, bookings assumptions, revenue forecasts, customer funding expectations, and long-range financial plans.

• Reconcile pipeline assumptions, forecast timing, probability assessments, and anticipated award values with financial-planning inputs and revenue-recognition assumptions.

• Support scenario analysis to assess the effect of opportunity delays, funding changes, competitive losses, scope changes, and alternate capture outcomes on the X-BAT FoS forecast.

• Help maintain a recurring pipeline-to-finance review cadence and track resulting actions, decisions, and assumption changes.

Pipeline Risk and Operating Rigor

• Identify risks to current and future pipeline health, including schedule uncertainty, customer-funding ris
