Employment Type: Full-Time

Reports To: Chief Operating Officer

Territory: Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, focused on state and local government

Position Summary

LingaTech is seeking a Business Development Manager to drive growth across the Maryland, DC, and Virginia government markets. This is a market-building, individual-contributor sales role: you'll activate existing contract vehicles (including DC and VITA channels), expand government and prime contractor relationships, identify procurements early, and sell IT staffing and project-based technology services to state, local, county, education, and enterprise IT agencies across the Baltimore–Annapolis–DC–Northern Virginia–Richmond corridor. The right person turns market access into revenue and long-term accounts.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the MD/DC/VA territory and execute a 12-month plan targeting agencies, local governments, prime contractors, and procurement channels.
• Activate and grow staffing opportunities through the DC contract channel and the Virginia VITA contingent labor channel.
• Build relationships with CIOs, CTOs, procurement officials, agency executives, program managers, and prime contractors, and expand existing Maryland partnerships into new opportunities.
• Meet regularly with MSP, prime, and program contacts to track demand, upcoming requisitions, and submission requirements, and remove barriers limiting contract utilization.
• Maintain a disciplined pipeline; monitor RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, IFBs, task orders, renewals, and expiring contracts, and position LingaTech ahead of formal release.
• Sell IT staff augmentation (PMs, BAs, developers, QA, data, cloud, cybersecurity, ServiceNow, ERP, infrastructure, help desk) and identify project-based services in modernization, PMO, data governance, cloud migration, and more.
• Use staffing placements as an entry point into higher-value service engagements, and act as a consultative advisor aligning LingaTech's capabilities to client needs.
• Coordinate with recruiting, delivery, proposal, and executive leadership to ensure timely, high-quality responses and client satisfaction.
• Represent LingaTech at regional government technology conferences, procurement events, and partner meetings.

Qualifications

• Proven business development or sales experience in MD, DC, or VA public-sector technology markets.
• Existing relationships with government CIO offices, procurement officials, agency leaders, MSP contacts, or prime contractors in the region.
• Demonstrated success selling IT staffing, staff augmentation, consulting, project-based IT services, or technology solutions to government clients.
• Strong understanding of government procurement, staffing contract vehicles, RFX cycles, task orders, and subcontracting models.
• Ability to build a territory from the ground up while activating existing contract channels and partner relationships.
• Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Willingness to travel regularly throughout MD, DC, and VA.
• Experience with large government-focused staffing MSPs or state MSP models is preferred.
• Familiarity with regional public-sector technology trends (modernization, cybersecurity, cloud migration, data governance, ERP, ServiceNow, AI readiness) is desired.
• Experience at a growth-stage IT consulting, staffing, or technology services company is preferred.
• Familiarity with the Shipley Method or a similar structured capture and proposal methodology is desired.
• Subcontracting relationships with major systems integrators, consulting firms, or prime government contractors is preferred.
