Hold programs in the line to schedule, quality, security, and contractual obligations, including work performed in accredited and customer-controlled environments. Surface risk early and with a recommendation attached. •Incubate new efforts. Take concepts with no scope of work and carry them through definition, staffing, and first delivery. Recommend clearly when an effort should remain a bespoke engagement, graduate into a product, or be declined. •Build and lead the team. Hire, develop, and retain engineers and technical leads assigned to the line. Establish the right role construct for each effort rather than defaulting to one shape, and grow people into work that is harder than what they arrived doing. •Own the customer relationship on technical ground. Serve as the senior technical voice with customers and partners, shaping requirements, informing pursuits, and converting delivered trust into follow-on work. •Integrate across Orbis.
