PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Direct IC account familiarity and networks (e.g., NGA, NRO, CIA, ODNI, INSCOM).
• Technical fluency in enterprise IT modernization, cloud/DevSecOps, cybersecurity/Zero Trust, and data/analytics/AI environments.
• Experience with price-to-win and competitive price positioning for task orders and large pursuits.

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES
