Candidate Profile:

  • Strategic thinker and practitioner who can architect complex systems while aligning to federal mission outcomes.
  • Comfortable operating in cross-functional teams, leading technical discussions, and influencing stakeholders.
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with a bias toward continuous improvement and measurable impact.
