About The Position

SAIC is seeking an experienced IBCS Regional Lead to direct operational execution and mission support across a geographically dispersed group of Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) sites. The Regional Lead is the primary operational leadership point for the assigned region, translating program priorities into coordinated site-level action while maintaining readiness, customer confidence, and continuity of support. This full-time role is fully on-site at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and reports to the Operations Manager. It supervises multiple site leads and requires up to 50% travel to CONUS and OCONUS customer locations. The successful candidate will lead distributed field-support personnel, synchronize competing requirements, and integrate field operations with technical, logistics, training, property, security, travel, and program-management functions. The role calls for sound day-to-day decisions within delegated authority, clear communication of difficult information, and prompt escalation of contractual, funding, scope, safety, security, or other material risks to the appropriate authority.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in any field and nine or more years of related experience, or a master's degree in any field and eight or more years of related experience; six additional years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
Active Secret security clearance required by the start date and maintained throughout employment.
U.S. citizenship.
Five or more years of experience leading geographically dispersed technical or operational personnel, multiple locations, or comparable complex operations.
Demonstrated U.S. Army experience through military service, Army civilian employment, or contractor support to Army programs or units.
Experience planning and coordinating personnel, schedules, priorities, and resources in a complex, high-operational-tempo environment.
Ability to represent an organization directly to Army customers and senior leaders, including communicating limitations, schedule impacts, risks, and recovery options.
Judgment in resolving competing operational priorities, identifying risk, and escalating matters outside delegated authority.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical or operational complexity into information leaders can use to make decisions.
Ability to travel up to 50%, including to CONUS and OCONUS locations.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. passport and meet applicable medical, security-training, country-clearance, theater-entry, and deployment requirements for supported locations.
