The Opportunity:

This role offers the best of both worlds: actively contributing to coding efforts, as needed, while leading and mentoring the team to enhance their technical skills and business acumen. As an architecture engineer, you can solve a problem with a complete end-to-end solution in a fast-paced, agile environment. We are looking for a lead with the advanced skills needed to manage team-building solutions and products from vision to production-ready systems.

Apply advanced program management, theories, principles, and concepts and contribute to development of new principles and concepts. Manage the development of solutions to highly complex problems. Drive major capture efforts from start to finish, lead capture and marketing activities, and support business staff in captures that are especially demanding and maintain accountability for the success of company-wide, must-win opportunities. Manage complex captures led by senior-level employees by coordinating market analysis, competitor analysis, gap analysis, and teaming activities in alignment with company strategy and objectives and interact directly with multiple senior-level leaders and coordinate all phases of capture activities and strategy development. Develop and maintain a broad and collaborative network across the company and engage in speaking opportunities, networking, and publishing to build an internal and industry reputation as a recognized expert in capture management and business development.
