You will lead a small, focused team that includes Account Managers, Sales Engineers or technical presales resources, and Marketing support, while also personally engaging with prospective and existing customers to understand their environments, uncover pain points, and shape practical solutions.

The right candidate can bridge customer conversations, technical architecture, product strategy, and sales execution.

Responsibilities: Serve as a senior customer-facing leader for ECS, engaging directly with prospective and existing customers to understand mission needs, technical environments, operational pain points, and buying considerations. Lead consultative discovery conversations with customer stakeholders, including technical teams, program offices, and business decision-makers, to determine how ECS offerings can address customer challenges. Translate customer needs into solution approaches, clearly articulating where ECS capabilities align, where there are gaps, and what enhancements or alternative approaches may be needed. Partner closely with engineering, product, and delivery teams to communicate field feedback and help inform roadmap priorities, solution improvements, and capability development. Provide leadership and day-to-day direction for ECS Account Management, Sales Engineering/technical presales, and Marketing resources, including coaching, prioritization, performance management, and professional development. Support the sales team in shaping opportunities, developing account strategies, and advancing deals through technically credible and customer-specific solutioning. Work with Account Managers to support customer retention, account growth, and expansion opportunities within existing ECS customers. Partner with Sales Engineers and technical teams to develop and deliver compelling demonstrations, workshops, whiteboarding sessions, and solution discussions tailored to customer needs. Help build a more repeatable and scalable go-to-market motion by refining sales plays, discovery frameworks, qualification methods, and account pursuit strategies. Own visibility into the ECS pipeline, including opportunity progression, forecasting inputs, and regular updates to senior leadership. Represent ECS at customer meetings, industry events, and conferences, helping build awareness, credibility, and trust in the market. Monitor customer needs, market trends, and competitor positioning, and provide actionable insights to product and executive leadership. Support the development of strategic partnerships and channel relationships, including with cloud providers and systems integrators relevant to ECS offerings. Work across a distributed team in a remote environment, ensuring alignment, communication, and accountability across functions. Required Qualifications: 10+ years of experience in Federal technology, solutions engineering, technical sales, solution architecture, customer success, business development, or related customer-facing leadership roles. Strong background in cloud platforms, enterprise IT, infrastructure, platforms, or software solutions, with the ability to engage credibly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Demonstrated ability to lead customer discovery conversations, assess pain points, and translate customer needs into practical solution recommendations. Experience identifying where products or platforms are a fit, where they are not, and how they may need to evolve to better support customer requirements. Track record of partnering effectively across sales, engineering, product, and delivery teams to support customer outcomes and business growth. Experience managing teams, preferably across sales, account management, solutions engineering, or related go-to-market functions.
