Position Summary

We are seeking an Emerging Threats Portfolio Lead to build, scale, and lead a portfolio of work across national security and complex risk environments, primarily within DoD/DoW, DHS, and related agencies.

This is a growth leadership role for someone who can identify opportunities, shape work before it exists, build trusted client relationships, win new business, and lead high-performing teams. The ideal candidate is not simply a subject matter expert; they are a portfolio builder, business developer, and operator who can scale both revenue and organizational capability.

Emerging threats may include cyber policy and information risks, critical infrastructure resilience, strategic competition, disinformation, public health security, supply chain vulnerabilities, CBRNE, and other complex national security challenges.

This is a portfolio growth and business leadership role focused on emerging threats policy, resilience, and national security-not a technical cyber or emergency management role.
