• Cultivate strategic industry teaming arrangements and cross-organizational partnerships to expand operational scope.

• Formulate actionable technical strategies by translating complex mission capabilities into tailored customer solutions.

• Align cross-functional engineering and program leadership teams to maintain organizational stability and client trust.

What You Bring

• Active TS/SCI Clearance With CI Polygraph. (Required)

• Bachelor's Degree In Engineering or a closely related Technical Discipline (a Master's Degree is preferred).

• 20+ years of progressive leadership within the Intelligence Community (IC) or Department Of Defense (DoD), including at least 12 recent years directly serving IC customers.

• Extensive technical expertise in Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Digital Signal Processing (DSP), or advanced Geolocation Technology.

• Prior direct service as a federal civilian employee within an IC agency, Program Manager, or COTR is highly desired.

• Demonstrated mastery of Federal Acquisition procedures, including response development for RFIs, Sources Sought, RFPs, and complex proposal efforts.

• Proven track record leading multidisciplinary technical teams without traditional business development quotas or sales metrics.

Compensation & Total Rewards

• Base Salary Range: $190,000 – $225,000 annually.

• 401(k) Retirement Plan: 25% employer contribution.

• Health & Insurance Coverage: 25% Individual Benefit Account (IBA) covering standard insurance premiums.
