Cyber Solution Area Lead

Everforth ECS is seeking a Cyber Solution Area Lead to work in our Fairfax, VA office. The Cyber Solution Area Lead (Cyber SAL) will lead the strategy, development, and advancement of our cybersecurity capability across the federal market. 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.

It is a high-impact horizontal leadership position for someone who can mobilize expertise across the company and make the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

The strongest candidates will bring a combination of: Broad fluency across the cybersecurity domain Strong understanding of the federal technology and mission market 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 Strong judgment around technology and R&D investment 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 to define 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.
