About Dominion Dynamics

At Dominion Dynamics, we are pioneering Canada's foremost modern defence prime, characterized by software-defined, attritable, and sovereign technologies. Our vision is that the future of military strength will depend less on traditional, high-cost platforms, and more on the cohesive operation of agile, AI-enhanced capabilities across all domains. We are crafting a comprehensive family of systems that prioritize operational effectiveness and adhere to Canada's democratic principles.

Our pace is rapid, often collaborating with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), particularly in the Arctic, while maintaining the utmost respect for Canadian laws and treaty obligations. Our founding team consists of veterans from Anduril, Google, Amazon, and the Canadian Armed Forces, and we are seeking system-level thinkers who are excited to work at the nexus of autonomy, aerospace, and national security.

Why This Role Matters

As Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy evolves, excellence in procurement will be crucial in determining which organizations will define sovereign capabilities for future generations. This position is vital for ensuring that Dominion Dynamics can adeptly navigate, influence, and execute within Canada’s federal defence procurement framework with accuracy, speed, and trustworthiness. As we expand, a disciplined approach to capture and procurement strategies is essential for enhancing Arctic and allied capabilities while ensuring compliance.

The Role: Director of Government Procurement & Defence Programs

This hands-on leadership role involves owning and driving Dominion's federal defence procurement strategy. You will engage daily with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), the Department of National Defence (DND), the Treasury Board, and other related organizations—translating industrial policies into actionable capture plans and defendable contract acquisitions.

You will not merely observe the system; you will actively shape it, ensuring Dominion navigates it swiftly and with integrity.

Responsibilities

  • Lead interactions with PSPC contracting authorities and DND Materiel Group.

  • Identify and assess potential procurement pathways including RFPs, sole source contracts, ITBs, and innovation programs.

  • Develop proposal strategies and structure compliant, defensible submissions.

  • Proactively identify program decision gates and procurement risks.
