• Develop and lead high-performing teams in a matrixed environment; coach frontline leaders on account planning, customer engagement, and execution excellence.

• Build and manage a partner ecosystem (OEMs, primes, SDVOSB/8(a)/other small businesses, and integrators) to expand reach and strengthen proposals.

• Provide targeted market support as required (e.g., selected pursuits, customer engagements, and partner teaming), aligned to enterprise priorities.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in federal market development, capture, sales, or program/account leadership, with significant responsibility across multiple DoD components/services.

• Demonstrated success developing and executing strategic account growth plans, including pipeline creation, opportunity qualification, capture plans, and win/loss learning.

• Experience designing and operating a coverage model (e.g., lane leads/sub-portfolios), including setting priorities, delegating effectively, and driving a consistent operating rhythm across lanes.

• Fluency in federal acquisition and contracting (e.g., FAR/DFARS concepts), proposal governance, and deal shaping; ability to partner effectively with contracts, pricing, and legal teams.

• Proven ability to lead large, matrixed teams and influence across complex organizations to drive outcomes on aggressive timelines.

• Strong operational leadership with a focus on delivery readiness, compliance, forecast accuracy, and measurable results.

• Year-over-year revenue and margin growth across the portfolio, supported by an increased qualified pipeline and improved win rates on priority captures.
