To join our team of outstanding professionals, apply today! We're seeking a dynamic and innovative Senior Director of Strategic Capture & Account Executive - Indo-Pacific Operations & Posture. This role demands a self-starting, highly motivated individual who will drive Akima's growth by developing and executing an integrated Indo-Pacific growth strategy, leading large-scale (>$250M) full-and-open business pursuits, and connecting Akima's diverse capabilities to emerging operational, posture, sustainment, readiness, infrastructure, and mission support requirements across the theater. Based in Hawaii, this senior leader will leverage Akima's complete portfolio to strengthen account penetration, build and maintain a qualified pipeline, and enhance the company's competitive positioning across U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), its component commands, and associated Pacific and Arctic power-projection, homeland defense, and mission support markets.
