Job Description

Everforth ECS is seeking an Executive Director - Cloud and Infrastructure Solution Area Lead to work in our Fairfax, VA office.

The Executive Director - Cloud and Infrastructure Solution Area Lead (C&I SAL) will lead the strategy, development, and advancement of our cloud and infrastructure capabilities across the federal market. This is a company-level leadership role for someone who understands the federal technology landscape, sees where cloud and infrastructure modernization are 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 Cloud and Infrastructure, 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.

This is not a traditional P&L, sales-quota, or program-delivery role. 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.

What You Will Own

• Shape Our Cloud and Infrastructure Strategy and Market Position - Own and govern the direction, priorities, market position, offering portfolio, and capability roadmap for the Cloud and Infrastructure Solution Area.
• Build a Portfolio of Cloud and Infrastructure Offerings - Transform our expertise into a focused portfolio of named, differentiated, and repeatable offerings spanning cloud modernization, platform engineering, infrastructure automation, enterprise operations, edge computing, and resilient mission environments.
• Drive Growth - Partner closely with Growth, Account, Delivery, and technical teams on the customer opportunities that matter most.
• Lead the Cloud and Infrastructure Community Across the Company - Lead a cross-company Cloud and Infrastructure Core Team bringing together leaders and practitioners from Business Units, Delivery, Growth, R&D, Partnerships, Marketing, and other relevant functions.
• Shape Where We Invest - Own the business and portfolio recommendations for company-funded Cloud and Infrastructure R&D, IRAD, reusable solutions, accelerators, reference architectures, and other capability investments.
• Represent Everforth ECS in the Federal Technology Market - Represent Everforth ECS in customer engagements, industry forums, conferences, panels, partner discussions, and other venues where a strong point of view can strengthen our market position.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a senior Cloud and Infrastructure capability leader who combines technical credibility with proven business acumen.

You do not need to be the deepest hands-on engineer in the company. You do need to understand cloud and infrastructure deeply enough to engage credibly with senior customers, engineers, program leaders, Growth teams, technology partners, and executives - and to know the difference between an interesting idea and a capability that can create real customer and business value.

The strongest candidates will bring a combination of:

• Broad fluency across cloud, infrastructure, platform engineering, and enterprise operations
• 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 cloud and infrastructure capabilities are actually designed, delivered, operated, and sustained on programs
• Strong judgment around technology and R&D investment
• Ability to work effectively with hyperscalers, OEMs, platform providers, and other commercial technology partners
• 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 cloud and infrastructure 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 Cloud and Infrastructure 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.

Salary Range: $200,000 - 300,000
