This is a company-level leadership role for someone who understands the cyber mission, sees where the market is going, and knows how to translate technical expertise into differentiated offerings, stronger customer relationships, smarter investments, and measurable business growth.

You will define what we want to be known for in Cyber, where we can win, what capabilities we should build, and how we turn our best ideas and delivery experience into repeatable solutions that customers value.

Who We’re Looking For:

We are looking for asenior Cyber capability leader who combines technical credibility with proven business acumen.

You do not need to be the deepest hands-on engineer in the company.

The strongest candidates will bring a combination of:

• Experience engaging customers and understanding mission needs
• Experience supporting growth, capture, solutioning, or strategic pursuits
• Understanding of how Cyber capabilities are actually delivered on programs

• Ability to work effectively with technology partners and commercial vendors
• Strong matrix leadership and the ability to mobilize people across organizational boundaries
• Executive presence and credibility with senior customers and industry leaders
• A strong point of view about where the Cyber market is headed—and the curiosity to keep challenging it

Why This Role Matters

This is an opportunity to do more than manage a portfolio.

It is an opportunity todefine what Cyber becomes at Everforth ECS.

You will have visibility across the company, access to exceptional technical and mission talent, and the ability to influence customer strategy, growth, delivery, partnerships, R&D, and investment.

If you are the kind of leader who can see patterns others miss, connect people and capabilities across organizational boundaries, turn expertise into market advantage, and build something that scales well beyond yourself, we want to talk to you.
