Dcaa Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Valiant Solutions is seeking a GWAC and Growth Program Manager to join our rapidly growing and innovative cybersecurity team!

The GWAC and Growth Program Manager is accountable for the full lifecycle of one or more assigned government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), multiple award contracts (MACs), or agency-wide indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. The role serves as the single named point of contact for the contracting agency, the company's contracting officer, and internal stakeholders for everything related to the assigned vehicles.

The GWAC and Growth Program Manager owns two interlocking domains: business development and contracts management. On the business development side, the role drives the conversion of vehicle access into awarded task orders by building pipeline, managing customer relationships, qualifying opportunities, and supporting capture and proposal teams with writing and pricing support. On the contracts management side, the role administers vehicle-level contract actions, negotiates modifications, manages compliance and reporting, and oversees teaming and subcontract relationships.

This is a senior, results-oriented role. The successful candidate is accountable for documented annual win-rate and revenue targets across the assigned vehicle portfolio and for sustained compliance with each vehicle's terms.

Named one of the Best Places to Work in the Washington DC area for 12 consecutive years, Valiant is proud of our employee-centric culture and commitment to excellence. If you are interested in learning more about Valiant and this opportunity, we invite you to apply now!
