Leidos Holdings Inc. • Reston, VA

About The Position

Leidos is seeking a Slide Engineer (SE) to join our FEDSIM delivery team in support of high-priority corporate and strategic growth initiatives within our federal portfolio. This role is part of Capture Operations and Excellence and operates within the FEDSIM Center of Excellence (CoE). The Slide Engineer will support corporate and sector FEDSIM opportunities. FEDSIM opportunities range from $300 million to over $1 billion in total contract value. Slide Engineers are responsible for creating high-quality oral presentation slides for large federal contracts in collaboration with technical experts, graphics designers, volume leads, proposal managers, and other stakeholders to produce clear, compelling presentations. You will translate written content from worksheets, discussions, and strategy sessions into visually engaging slides that integrate win themes, benefits, and proof points. While this role offers remote flexibility, occasional travel to Leidos offices in Reston, VA, and the Washington, DC metro area may be required to support solutioning and is required in support of executing live proposal opportunities. At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now." If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You'll fit right in.
