The Opportunity

As a Senior Mission Solution Architect supporting CACI’s Mission & Engineering Support (M&ES) portfolio, you will lead the development of compelling, executable, and scorable solutions for strategic DoD, Intelligence Community, and interagency opportunities. You will translate ambiguous customer missions and acquisition requirements into a clear solution and proposal narrative.

• Work with Line SMEs, program teams, and mission experts to identify customer priorities, operational gaps, critical issues, and stated or implied requirements.
• Translate mission needs into solution concepts, CONOPS, mission workflows, system architectures, staffing models, transition approaches, risk mitigations, and measurable outcomes.
• Shape solutions across M&ES capability areas, including lifecycle sustainment; systems engineering and software modernization; operations, planning, training, and readiness; intelligence analysis and operations; and UXS/C-UXS employment and integration.
• Lead solution development for intelligence, cyber, systems engineering, and mission operations opportunities, using SMEs to add depth while retaining ownership of the integrated approach.
• Develop scorable strengths, discriminators, proof points, storyboards, graphics concepts, white papers, technical volume outlines, and persuasive technical narratives.
• Serve as a technical volume lead or major contributor, including writing, rewriting, one-voicing, page-count management, and alignment to the approved solution.
• Facilitate solutioning sessions with Capture, BD, pricing, proposal, operations, SMEs, and partners; resolve technical or operational gaps.
• Brief recommendations to senior leaders and defend the solution through gate, color-team, and executive reviews.
• Build reusable mission threads, graphics, technical patterns, artifacts, and lessons learned for future pursuits.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related technical discipline or equivalent mission and technical experience.
• At least 10 years of relevant experience supporting DoD, IC, interagency, or federal national-security missions.
• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.
• Demonstrated experience translating mission requirements, customer needs, or RFP requirements into executable technical, operational, or mission-support solutions.
• Experience creating solution artifacts such as CONOPS, mission workflows, system views, technical approaches, staffing and transition approaches, risk mitigations, graphics, white papers, or technical volume content.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief senior leaders and write clear, persuasive proposal content.
• Ability to work across Capture, BD, proposal, pricing, operations, technical SMEs, subcontractors, and executive stakeholders under tight deadlines.
• Demonstrated experience in at least two of the following: intelligence analysis or operations; systems or mission engineering; offensive or defensive cyber and cyber mission operations; mission operations support; UXS/C-UXS, ISR platforms, autonomy, or emerging mission systems; or federal capture, proposal, acquisition, capability development, or solution development.

Desired:

• Current CI or full-scope polygraph.

• Experience supporting strategic captures or proposals valued at $100M or more in total contract value.

• Prior experience as a Solution Architect for Business Development.

• Experience supporting service intelligence or cyber organizations, PEOs/PAEs, combatant commands, SOCOM, CIA, NSA, DIA, NGA, NRO, or INSCOM.
