Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a clear understanding of CMS centers and offices, decision-makers, modernization priorities, acquisition patterns, contract vehicles, incumbents, and upcoming opportunities
• Translate market intelligence into a prioritized strategy for where Agile Six should invest time, relationships, and pursuit resources
• Extend that strategy into adjacent HHS and health IT opportunities where our CMS experience creates a credible foundation
• Develop trusted relationships with government leaders, industry partners, primes, and other stakeholders across CMS and HHS
• Represent Agile Six at relevant industry events, conferences, and partner conversations
• Identify opportunities early enough to help shape stronger solutions and acquisition approaches rather than simply responding to released solicitations
• Build and maintain a disciplined pipeline based on strategic fit, realistic win probability, delivery alignment, and potential impact
• Make thoughtful pursue/no-pursue recommendations and be willing to recommend walking away from work that is not right for Agile Six
• Connect pipeline planning with organizational forecasting and broader Market Development priorities
• Work closely with Agile Six delivery teams to understand our existing work, client needs, lessons learned, and potential areas for expansion
• Bring delivery expertise into opportunity shaping and ensure proposed work reflects what Agile Six can credibly and successfully deliver
• Help create relationships and opportunities that give future delivery teams a strong foundation for success
• Identify and develop teaming, subcontracting, and joint-venture opportunities that expand Agile Six's reach or capabilities
• Lead or support strategic partner and teaming negotiations while protecting the integrity of our delivery model
• Partner with Communications, Proposals, Delivery, Finance, Contracts, and company leadership throughout opportunity development and proposal work
• Use AI-enabled tools to support research, market mapping, pipeline analysis, competitive intelligence, and opportunity development
• Contribute to shared Market Development practices, tools, intelligence, and strategy rather than operating as an individual sales function
• Help improve systems and practices that are still developing rather than waiting for perfect infrastructure

Skills

• Comfort operating in a small, evolving organization where systems and processes may still be developing
• Previous federal service at CMS or another HHS operating division
• Experience navigating CMS/HHS procurement and acquisition environments
• Familiarity with joint ventures, SDVOSB/8(a) partnerships, set-aside strategy, and federal teaming
