Vice President, U.S. Government Cybersecurity Strategy & Engagement Greater Washington D.C. Area

The Company is seeking a Vice President for U.S. Government Cybersecurity Strategy and Engagement. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the company's efforts to establish a strong and trusted presence with U.S. government stakeholders at all levels, including national security, critical infrastructure, and cybersecurity policy. This role is pivotal in driving engagement that aligns with the company's mission and business objectives, and it requires a seasoned professional with extensive experience in cybersecurity, national security, or technology policy, particularly with a focus on the U.S. federal government. The Vice President will be tasked with developing and executing a comprehensive strategy for government cybersecurity engagement, building and maintaining relationships with senior officials, and identifying opportunities where the company's cybersecurity capabilities can meet government needs. Applicants for this role should have an established network of relationships across U.S. government cybersecurity and national security stakeholders, a substantive understanding of the U.S. government cybersecurity landscape, and the ability to operate with credibility at the highest levels of government. The position demands a strong communicator who can translate complex technical and policy concepts for diverse audiences and who is adept at identifying and developing strategic opportunities that intersect government engagement and commercial outcomes. While not a sales position, the role is commercially oriented, and the Vice President will work closely with the company's product and sales teams to create the conditions for meaningful commercial outcomes. A Bachelor's degree is required, with a preference for an advanced degree in a related field, and an active or recently held U.S. security clearance is also preferred.
