Business Development Director - Washington D.C. Metro Area
About The Position
We are seeking a Business Development Director who can build and convert a qualified pipeline into revenue. This is a results-driven role focused on originating new opportunities, securing strong teaming positions, and delivering measurable wins that accelerate company growth. Candidates should currently be supporting a federal consulting firm in a business development capacity, with current hands-on experience in capture, proposal oversight, and opportunity shaping. Compensation includes a base salary plus commission tied to performance. Viderity is entering its next phase of focused growth. We are a high-performing, mission-driven consulting company delivering digital services, application development, data management, and strategic program support across Federal Civilian agencies, with selective expansion into defense. Viderity has built a strong reputation for exceptional delivery, long-standing client relationships, and measurable mission impact, reflected in consistent top-tier performance ratings and industry recognition. Our work emphasizes practical, results-oriented solutions that help agencies modernize systems, improve user experience, and operate more effectively. We are now seeking a Business Development leader to help scale our Federal Civilian portfolio by leveraging both prime and subcontracting pathways. The ideal candidate brings a track record of success in a small or emerging government contractor, along with the ability to activate relationships with larger partners to create and win new opportunities. This role is best suited for someone who thrives in a collaborative, growth-focused environment and understands how to navigate the less siloed, relationship-driven Federal Civilian market.
