Position Summary

We are making a deliberate, multi-year investment to expand and strengthen our federal practice across the Department of Defense and select federal civilian agencies. We are seeking a Federal Executive to provide Executive/Officer level leadership, vision, and strategic direction for the Federal Group and its role within American Structurepoint.

This person will be responsible for leading and growing the Federal Business Group at American Structurepoint. This is a high-impact, externally focused position built around winning architectural and/or engineering project work within federal agencies. This person will lead federal practice pursuits and efforts, including the strategic efforts of a diverse team of specialized technical leaders.

This is an opportunity with direct influence over the firm’s federal strategic plan, investment priorities, market positioning, and long-term growth objectives.

The selected candidate will drive agency engagement, IDIQ/MATOC positioning, and capture excellence — while also expanding the firm’s relationships with prime general contractors to secure increased Designer of Record (DOR) roles on federal design/build projects.

This is a build-and-scale opportunity within a financially strong, well-established A/E firm committed to expanding its federal footprint.  The ideal candidate is a respected industry leader with extensive experience in Department of Defense architectural building projects, business management, and client development.
