About the role
- Own the account growth strategy — develop and drive a plan to retain existing revenue, win recompetes, and expand the portfolio through new awards, working hand-in-hand with the CGO and growth organization to align resources and prioritize pursuits
- Work in coordination with the CGO and ITC’s capture managers, BD leads, and growth team — serving as the account-level executive sponsor on all pursuits
- Develop and execute a near-term recompete strategy covering all contracts approaching expiration
- Identify and pursue partnership, teaming, and joint venture structures to bridge revenue during the small-to-full-and-open conversion period
- Identify adjacent revenue opportunities inside DHS where ITC’s capabilities are competitive
- Build and deepen relationships across the DHS customer base, engaging with both technical and mission leadership
- Own full P&L accountability for the DHS portfolio, including cost management, margin performance, and financial forecasting
- Monitor revenue, burn rates, utilization, and indirect rates
- Partner with Finance on forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis
- Ensure contract profitability
- Ensure successful execution across all contracts — on time, on budget, and in compliance with all deliverable requirements
- Ensure strong CPARS performance
- Lead contract start-up, transition, and ramp-down activities as the portfolio evolves
- Manage program risk across the portfolio and escalate proactively
- Partner closely with the delivery team to align technical execution with customer expectations and growth objectives
- Support corporate quality, governance, and compliance activities in line with ITC’s ISO and CMMI certifications
- Establish ITC as the preferred full-and-open IT partner across key DHS components including ICE, USCIS, TSA, CBP, and USCG.
- Build and cultivate a partner ecosystem — large integrators, niche technology firms, small businesses — to strengthen competitive positioning
- Represent ITC with senior government stakeholders and serve as the company’s face in the DHS Market.
Requirements
- 10+ years of direct experience in federal IT contracting, with meaningful DHS account experience (ICE, USCIS, CBP, USCG, or TSA strongly preferred)
- Demonstrated success leading full-and-open captures as the executive-level owner, from strategy through award
- Deep experience managing contract portfolios including IDIQs, task orders, and prime contracts — both as prime and as sub
- Strong financial acumen: proven ability to manage P&L, analyze program financials, and produce accurate forecasts and management-level reporting
- Proven ability to win recompetes and grow accounts under competitive pressure
- Technical background in IT infrastructure, cloud computing, application development, cybersecurity, or related disciplines — sufficient to hold substantive conversations with technical customers and credibly shape opportunities
- Experience navigating small business set-aside portfolios and transitioning contracts to full-and-open competition, whether through direct pursuit, partnerships, or JV structures
- Established DHS relationships — the ability to pick up the phone and get a meeting
- Entrepreneurial operating style: comfortable setting goals, prioritizing under uncertainty, and moving fast without bureaucratic cover
- Not afraid of conflict or hard conversations — able to address performance issues with partners, push back on customers when necessary, and navigate difficult teaming dynamics without losing the relationship
- Proven self-starter who requires no day-to-day direction — this role reports directly to the CEO, operates with full autonomy, and demands someone who can own their agenda and execute independently from day one.
- Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred.
