We are hiring a Senior Manager, Growth[x] Data & AI Engineering to serve as the senior technical lead for the data and AI foundation that powers Growth[x], an AI-enabled, end-to-end solution that transforms how we identify opportunities, execute our end-to-end growth pipeline, and deliver winning proposals.
Growth[x] is built on the Peraton[x] platform and unifies the playbooks, data sources, and tooling the Growth organization today into a single, intelligent workflow — from opportunity capture through proposal submission.
This role is responsible for planning, coordinating, and managing the data pipelines, cortexes, integrations, and governance that make Growth[x] trustworthy, secure, and useful at enterprise scale. You will be the connective tissue between the Growth organization, the CIO's data platform, and the Peraton[x] platform team — ensuring that the right data is available, governed, trusted, and accessible for the right AI-driven purposes.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will architect and build alongside the team, not just direct it.
Solution Architecture. Architect the end-to-end technical vision for Growth[x] — how opportunity identification, qualification, capture, color teams, pricing inputs, past performance, solutioning, and proposal development connect into a single AI-enabled workflow on Peraton[x].
Cortex Development. Design and stand up the knowledge cortexes (ontology, mission briefing, curated content, KG structure) that power Growth[x]. Establish standards for how cortexes are built, versioned, and maintained as source material evolves.
Data Connections & Quality. Lead integration with the CIO managed and governed systems of record Growth depends on and the Peraton Data Warehouse and with cross-corporate functionally owned SharePoint repositories. Drive the data-quality remediation needed to make AI outputs trustworthy.
Process Design. Translate end-to-end growth process steps into event triggered data packages for the team, intuitive dashboards, and skills and workflows on Peraton[x]. Partner with Growth process owners to redesign workflows around AI rather than bolting AI onto legacy steps. Partner with the Peraton[x] team to ensure Growth operations remain optimized and evolve as the platform evolves.
Playbook Productization. Take the existing library of BAP prompts and playbooks and elevate them into hardened, reusable skills and flows with clear inputs, outputs, and quality gates.
Enablement & Training. Build the training curriculum and enablement collateral (tool-specific and process-specific) that gets capture managers, proposal managers, solution architects, and pricing leads productive on Growth[x].
Team Leadership. Lead and manage a small, high-leverage team setting technical direction, prioritizing the roadmap, and coaching them into stronger operators.
Stakeholder Management. Serve as the senior point of accountability to Growth leadership, IT, security, and the Peraton[x] platform team. Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs in business terms.
