A Role with Purpose and Impact

Dev Technology Group is seeking a Senior Director to lead a portfolio of federal software development and modernization programs supporting critical customer missions.

Dev Technology applies cloud development, AI/ML, DevSecOps, data analytics, cybersecurity, and other modern technologies to help federal agencies solve complex challenges and advance their missions. The Senior Director will provide strategic leadership, customer engagement, operational oversight, and people leadership needed to ensure the continued success and growth of this portfolio.

In addition to maintaining a deep understanding and appreciation of the missions of our federal government customers, the Sr. Director will also have a strong command of the environment in which they operate. This includes remaining informed about cloud technologies, emerging technology trends, modern software delivery practices, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and the evolving federal technology landscape.

The successful candidate is a strategic and client-focused technology leader who can move comfortably between executive customer conversations, solution and modernization strategy, and the leadership of experienced Project Managers. This leader is growth oriented and works cross-functionally with internal and external stakeholders and engages technical teams to identify opportunities to better support the customer mission, shape and advance solutions, and drive continued innovation.

This opportunity is well suited for someone who

• Builds trusted, long-term relationships with federal customers by understanding their missions, challenges, priorities, and evolving technology needs.
• Understands how to lead teams through Program and Project Managers rather than personally managing every detail directly.
• Uses data, sound judgment, and strong communication to understand program health and address risks early.
• Balances customer satisfaction, contractual performance, employee engagement, financial results, and long-term growth.
• Creates clarity and accountability while giving leaders room to lead.
• Generates growth for the portfolio both on-contract and through new opportunities, including serving in a lead capture role.
• Places the success of the customer, portfolio, and team ahead of individual recognition.
• Develops high-performing teams through mentoring, coaching, feedback, and clear expectations.
• Understands modern software development and technology trends well enough to challenge assumptions, engage technical leaders, and help shape credible solutions without needing to be a hands-on technologist.
