  • Lead multidisciplinary teams in delivering complex business and technology transformation initiatives.

  • Support account growth by recognizing new opportunities, contributing to capture activities, and expanding Navaide's footprint within the client organization.
  • Mentor and develop project team members while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with Navaide leadership to shape long-term account strategy and prepare for future growth.

What We're Looking For

  • 8–12+ years of experience leading complex federal programs or enterprise transformation initiatives.
  • Demonstrated success managing cross-functional teams, budgets, schedules, and customer relationships.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and executive presentation skills.
  • Experience supporting Department of Defense or Federal Civilian agencies.
  • Experience delivering enterprise business systems, digital transformation, ERP, data, or technology modernization initiatives.
  • Ability to think strategically while maintaining operational excellence.
