Job description

MANTECH seeks a Mission Growth Specialist - Cyber to join our team in Herndon, VA (Hybrid).

The Mission Growth Specialist - Cyber will serve as the business development engine driving cyber capability expansion across our Intelligence Community (IC) and Federal Civilian accounts. Operating as a growth lead for the Cyber Practice, this high-autonomy role drives the adoption of core solutions in security engineering, defensive cyber operations, cyber physical systems defense, and cryptographic resilience by mining existing accounts, driving organic on-contract growth, and capturing new greenfield opportunities before RFPs are released.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Partner with the existing MANTECH account leads across IC and Federal civilian programs to audit tasking, identify white space, and embed specialized Cyber Practice capabilities into broader non-cyber contracts.

• Drive scope expansion, incremental task order generation, and re-competes on active programs by uncovering unaddressed customer mission gaps.

• Independently identify, qualify, and shape new business opportunities while executing strategic account call plans to engage federal decision-makers early in the capture cycle.

• Partner closely with Cyber Solutions Engineers to pair early customer pain points with technical architectures, rapid prototypes, and differentiated proof-of-concept demonstrations.

• Lead qualification gate reviews, brief executive leadership, shape RFI/RFP positioning, and defend win strategies during proposal color reviews (Pink, Red, Green).

• Track CRM pipeline data, monitor competitive dynamics, and represent MANTECH at industry events to expand strategic teaming networks.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a relevant technical field (or equivalent experience).

• 10+ years of demonstrated success driving business development, capture, or account growth within IC or Federal markets.

• Proven track record as a self-starter capable of independently building pipelines, exceeding growth targets, and winning prime federal business.

• Demonstrated experience executing internal cross-selling and organic contract expansion within complex, matrixed government contracting environments.

• Strong technical acumen with the ability to lead high-level solution discussions with executive federal clients.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Combined background in direct program/technical execution and strategic business development.

• Established network of customer relationships across IC and Federal civilian accounts.

• Experience co-capturing opportunities alongside Solutions Engineers or Technical Architects to pre-sell capabilities.

• Current CI or Full-Scope Polygraph.

Clearance Requirements:

• Must have a current/active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph

Physical Requirements:

• Constantly operates a computer and other productivity machinery.

• Must be able to remain in a stationary position for prolonged periods.

• Travel may be required to support client meetings, technical demonstrations, or proposal efforts
