About The Position

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.

Requirements

15+ years of experience in cloud computing, infrastructure, enterprise technology, or related federal mission environments, including progressively responsible technical or leadership roles.
Broad expertise across multiple areas such as hybrid and multi-cloud architecture, cloud migration and modernization, platform engineering, infrastructure as code, enterprise networking, compute, storage, virtualization, containers, observability, resilience, and enterprise operations.
Demonstrated experience supporting U.S. Federal Government customers and missions, with an understanding of federal cloud adoption, acquisition environments, security and compliance requirements, and technology modernization challenges.
Experience translating customer and mission needs into technical solutions, capabilities, offerings, or strategic initiatives.
Demonstrated experience supporting business development, capture, solutioning, strategic pursuits, or customer-shaping activities.
Experience developing or influencing technology strategies, capability roadmaps, solution portfolios, or investment priorities.
Strong understanding of how cloud and infrastructure capabilities are architected, engineered, secured, accredited, migrated, operated, optimized, and sustained within federal environments.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional and matrixed teams without direct organizational authority.
Ability to communicate complex cloud and infrastructure concepts in terms of mission outcomes, customer value, competitive differentiation, operational performance, and business impact.
Strong executive communication and presentation skills, with demonstrated credibility engaging senior government customers, technical leaders, industry partners, and corporate executives.
