We are seeking a Mission Outcome Lead (MOL) to join one of our Prime Contracts supporting the Governments Corporate Management Services (CMS) this role you will provide senior technical leadership across a portfolio of mission-aligned enterprise systems operating at the intersection of mission needs systems engineering software delivery architecture and technical integration. You will work across multiple products and technical teams to translate mission priorities into coordinated technically executable outcomes; identify and resolve cross-product dependencies integration challenges lifecycle issues and technical risks; and provide senior technical guidance to Delivery Technical Leads (DTLs) and product teams when issues extend beyond an individual product boundary. Successful candidates will understand the full engineering lifecyclefrom requirements and architecture through design development integration verification deployment operations sustainment and modernizationand possess the engineering judgment to evaluate technical approaches challenge assumptions recognize gaps and bring the right technical disciplines together to solve complex problems.

If youre looking for an opportunity where your work has broad enterprise impact youll find it here. Our diverse and growing team offers the chance to solve complex technical challenges collaborate with talented professionals and directly contribute to the technology and services that enable the Governments mission around the world.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Serve as the senior technical integration and delivery lead for an assigned mission area spanning multiple products applications platforms and engineering teams translating Government mission objectives and stakeholder priorities into coordinated technical outcomes and executable engineering activities.
• Maintain a systems-level view of mission-area architectures interfaces data flows environments infrastructure security boundaries dependencies constraints and modernization efforts to identify cross-product impacts and ensure solutions work effectively across the broader enterprise.
• Provide senior technical guidance and escalation support to Delivery Technical Leads (DTLs) helping teams navigate complex engineering challenges unclear technical direction integration issues lifecycle concerns and decisions requiring broader systems-level context or expertise.
• Interface and communicate with A3 leadership and Product Leads to understand strategic priorities develop and maintain technical roadmaps gather desired outcomes and translate leadership direction into actionable objectives and technical activities.
• Apply systems engineering and software development lifecycle principles across requirements architecture design development integration verification and validation deployment operations sustainment and modernization to drive disciplined and technically sound delivery.
• Assess technical approaches implementation strategies estimates sequencing dependencies assumptions constraints and resource needs to evaluate engineering feasibility technical completeness operational readiness and alignment with mission objectives.
• Identify and proactively manage cross-product dependencies technical risks architectural conflicts integration gaps technical debt cybersecurity impacts infrastructure constraints and lifecycle concerns; facilitate resolution by engaging the appropriate engineering disciplines and subject matter experts.
• Partner with Government stakeholders DTLs Product Leads engineers architects and technical SMEs to clarify mission needs and requirements surface ambiguity and missing technical information and ensure work is sufficiently understood and actionable before significant engineering execution begins.
• Ensure engineering teams adhere to program-level governance systems engineering practices technical standards and established development and deliver processes; identify deviations or gaps and coordinate appropriate corrective actions to maintain technical consistency and program alignment.
• Coordinate technical planning and execution across products when mission outcomes require changes to multiple systems interfaces environments or teams ensuring dependencies integration activities technical decisions and delivery sequencing are understood and appropriately managed.
• Monitor and assess contract deliverables across assigned products and engineering teams ensuring technical commitments requirements milestones and acceptance criteria are understood tracked and met; identify deliver risks and escalate concerns with clear analysis and recommended actions.
• Monitor mission-area technical health and delivery progress distinguishing product-level issues from systemic or portfolio-level concerns and escalating significant technical architectural integration security or delivery risks with clear analysis alternatives trade-offs and recommended actions.
• Mentor and strengthen DTLs through technical coaching systems-level perspective and engineering lifecycle guidance; communicate complex technical findings decisions risks and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders while fostering collaboration across engineering disciplines.
• Validate and communicate staffing position requirements to the PMO ensuring roles responsibilities technical skill requirements and resource needs are accurately defined aligned with planned engineering activities and mission outcomes and reflected in program staffing plans.
• Establish and maintain technical decision traceability across the assigned mission area ensuring significant architecture integration technology implementation and lifecycle decisions are documented with their rationale assumptions dependencies trade-offs impacts and responsible decision authority and are communicated to affected products and engineering teams.
