Job ID #937
Ad Hoc is a technology company that empowers organizations to deliver scalable, impactful digital services. Using modern, agile methods, our team creates products that meet people’s needs and transform their experience of government.
Work on things that matter
Our collaborations have shaped some of the defining moments in public-sector service delivery. We’ve helped build products that connect Veterans to tailored services, help millions access affordable health care, and support important programs like Head Start. As we work with agencies to deliver critical services, we’re also changing how the government approaches technology.
Built for a remote life
Our culture, communications, and tools are built for remote work, enabling us to bring together top talent nationwide. At Ad Hoc, remote life empowers our teams to design work environments that fit their lives and that foster flexibility and collaboration to achieve positive outcomes for our customers.
Committed to high expectations and a welcoming culture
Ad Hoc values acceptance, accountability, and humility. We aren’t heroes. We learn from our mistakes and improve the process for the next time. We build small, inclusive teams to collaborate closely with our partners to solve the right problems and deliver software that works.
The Federal Civilian business unit supports many customers spanning the federal, commercial, and nonprofit space. Our customers include NOAA, NASA, IRS, the General Services Administration , Office of Personnel Management , the Library of Congress, Health & Human Services , and the FDIC . We partner with these agencies to build new capabilities, deliver products, establish data as a strategic asset for informed decision-making, modernize legacy systems, and build the digital service infrastructure necessary to scale their mission impact.
Primary Responsibilities
As a Senior Director of Client Growth and Strategy, Federal Civilian, you will help shape and execute Ad Hoc’s growth strategy across strategic Federal Civilian accounts , including agencies such as HHS, IRS, NOAA , and other priority civilian markets.
This is a hands‑on growth leadership role for someone who understands federal customers beyond the opportunity pipeline. You bring deep knowledge of the agencies, their missions, acquisition environments, technology priorities, and people. You know how strong delivery creates customer trust and how to turn that trust, market knowledge, and existing relationships into pipeline, capture strategies, and booked business.
Successful candidates may come from several paths. You may have built your foundation in federal program delivery, technology, consulting, or operations before transitioning into growth and capture. You may be a former federal leader who has successfully transitioned into industry. Or, you may come from a high‑performing technology or product company where you have owned strategic federal accounts and helped customers adopt modern platforms and solutions.
Regardless of path, you are comfortable wearing multiple hats. You can move from an executive customer conversation to developing an account strategy, shaping an opportunity, working with technical teams on a solution, leading capture, and presenting a strategic pursuit to executive leadership.
Primary expectations include:
Develop and execute growth strategies across priority Federal Civilian accounts, including HHS, IRS, NOAA, and adjacent civilian agencies
Bring deep knowledge of assigned accounts, including customer missions, organizational structures, key stakeholders, acquisition strategies, technology environments, budgets, and competitive landscapes
Leverage established customer and industry relationships to strengthen Ad Hoc’s positioning and identify new opportunities

Identify whitespace within existing customers and expand into adjacent programs, offices, and mission areas
Develop and execute customer call plans and account strategies
Forecast pipeline and bookings, communicate risks and opportunities, and maintain accountability for growth objectives
Maximize existing contract vehicles while identifying additional vehicles and partnerships necessary to support account strategy

Shape opportunities before solicitation by combining customer relationships, mission knowledge, competitive intelligence, and an understanding of federal acquisition strategy
Develop capture strategies, win themes, customer engagement plans, competitive positioning, teaming strategies, and price-to-win approaches

Lead or participate in gate reviews and provide clear recommendations regarding pursuit strategy and investment
Develop relationships with strategic technology partners, primes, subcontractors, and other organizations within the Federal Civilian ecosystem
Maintain momentum and accountability throughout the pursuit lifecycle with a focus on converting qualified pipeline into booked business
Customer, Technology & Market Engagement
Maintain and expand relationships with federal executives, program leaders, acquisition stakeholders, technology leaders, and industry partners
Understand customer mission and technology challenges and connect those needs to Ad Hoc’s digital services capabilities
Partner with technical and delivery leadership to develop differentiated solutions across areas such as digital modernization, cloud, data, AI, platforms, and emerging technologies
Translate successful program delivery and customer satisfaction into organic and adjacent account growth
Build strategic relationships with commercial technology and product partners to develop joint go-to-market opportunities
Represent Ad Hoc with customers, industry organizations, technology partners, and at relevant Federal Civilian events
Strengthen Ad Hoc’s visibility and reputation within target accounts
Help cultivate and mature Ad Hoc’s business development and capture practices
Lead, coach, and develop growth professionals while remaining actively engaged in accounts and pursuits
Establish clear expectations for pipeline development, account planning, capture execution, forecasting, and performance
