Partner with the Director of Functions to turn account demand into staffing and capacity plans, align qualified personnel and technical expertise, and apply consistent delivery standards.

Partner with the Director of Mission Intelligence to translate customer priorities and performance insights into integrated solution plans, actionable decision support, and measurable outcomes, including deployment of ProjectAccelerator.

Ensure solution delivery addresses mission needs and produces validated improvements in execution speed, schedule reliability, cost, workforce readiness, or other customer-defined outcomes.

Establish an enterprise operating rhythm for financial, delivery, staffing, and risk reviews; resolve cross-account priorities and elevate significant issues to the CEO with recommended actions.

People & Organizational Leadership

Lead and develop account and program leaders; set clear expectations, coach performance, and build succession capacity for a growing portfolio.

Coordinate matrixed teams and shared resources with functional leadership; anticipate staffing gaps and mobilization needs while supporting employee development and retention.

Build a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement; reinforce contractual, quality, safety, security, and customer/site requirements with the responsible experts.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
