  • Strategy, Governance, and Quality Management: Oversee enterprise technical strategy and quality across programs by ensuring alignment with organizational goals, contractual commitments, and enterprise architecture standards; establishing governance mechanisms that promote consistency, auditability, and continuous improvement; and sponsoring enterprise-wide improvement initiatives informed by external trends, internal performance data, and strategic priorities.
  • Communication and Stakeholder Engagement: Shape and lead communication and relationship strategies across the organization by delivering high-impact messaging to clients, executives, and internal leadership while developing and maintaining strategic relationships that expand organizational impact and influence, informed by evolving market conditions and policy developments.

Requirements
Minimum Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor's Degree; Master's Degree preferred
  • Minimum of 8 years of related experience
  • 2+ years of management experience

Basic Requirements

  • Deep familiarity with federal compliance frameworks, including FISMA, FedRAMP, and NIH security requirements
  • Experience overseeing technical strategy across multiple programs including large complex initiatives with contractual and regulatory constraints.
  • Intermediate experience with Microsoft Office productivity software and collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.
  • Must be able and willing to work onsite multiple days per week in Bethesda, MD.

Skills That Set You Apart
  • Ability to bridge technical execution and executive strategy, translating complex cloud and DevOps concepts into business-level decisions
  • Experience establishing enterprise documentation frameworks that support audit readiness, knowledge transfer, and operational continuity
  • Executive presence with the ability to influence without authority and build lasting strategic relationships
  • Data-driven decision-making mindset, leveraging analytics to guide technical and organizational outcomes
  • Intermediate experience with AI tools, including their limitations and risks, and how they can be applied to support database management tasks.
