About The Position

Everforth ECS is seeking an Interagency Agreement Manager to work in our Fairfax VA office with hybrid flexibility. This position is contingent upon additional funding. The Interagency Agreement Manager will support a Department of War (DoW) customer by establishing and maintaining relationships with DoW Components, military departments, federal agencies, laboratories, and other government mission partners. The primary objective of this position is to develop, coordinate, and manage the agreements required to enable secure, lawful, and timely sharing of data between government organizations. The successful candidate will manage agreements throughout their full lifecycle—from initial stakeholder engagement and requirements discovery through drafting, review, negotiation, approval, implementation, renewal, amendment, and closeout. This individual will work closely with mission owners, data stewards, technical teams, cybersecurity personnel, privacy officials, records managers, legal counsel, acquisition professionals, and senior leaders to translate operational data needs into clear and executable agreements. The ideal candidate will possess strong relationship-management, facilitation, writing, and organizational skills, along with an understanding of federal data governance, information security, and interagency coordination. This position requires an individual who can independently drive complex actions, resolve competing stakeholder concerns, and maintain momentum across multiple organizations and approval processes.
