• Lead a team of 6 direct reports and an organization of ~260 technical and operational staff.

• Provide strong technical oversight to ensure high-quality engineering, architecture, and solution delivery, along with exceptional customer satisfaction.
• Drive growth by leveraging deep technical expertise to shape winning solutions, expand digital capabilities, and deliver strong re-competes and new business wins.
• Ensure alignment with Sector, Division, and Company strategies while bringing forward new technology‑driven opportunities.
• Build, develop, and optimize a high‑performing technical team focused on innovation, efficiency, customer engagement, and mission success.
• Develop and execute both short- and long-term growth strategies grounded in emerging technologies, modernization trends, and customer mission needs.
• Integrate offerings from GDIT’s enterprise services—including cloud, infrastructure, cyber, software, and AI/ML—to enhance customer outcomes and competitive positioning.
• Foster a culture of accountability, technical curiosity, continuous learning, and high energy across the organization.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical discipline (business acceptable with strong technical career progression) or 15+ years of relevant professional experience.
• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in technology-centric roles, evolving into executive oversight of IT and professional services portfolios supporting FAA and DoT.
• Proven experience running portfolios of at least $50M in annual revenue with full P&L accountability.
• Demonstrated success in technical growth leadership, including shaping winning technical solutions and proposals.
• Strong technical acumen across cloud, cyber, AI/ML, enterprise infrastructure, digital modernization, and mission systems.
• Deep experience building and maintaining senior customer relationships within the FAA and Transportation community.
• Thorough understanding of federal proposal development and evaluation, with the ability to craft compelling, tech-forward capture strategies.
• Established pipeline development and growth track record.
• Experience engaging with senior aviation/transportation entities such as ATCA, NATCA, PASS, or ICAO.
