The Opportunity:
SNC, a division of CACI, is seeking an Executive Director to lead all product development responsibilities for the Archon platform-a secure communications portfolio, based on the NSA CSFC program, that is deployed across the DoD and Intelligence Community. This includes our industry-first, productized gateway, site-to-site connectivity solutions, secure end user devices (EUD), and accompanying management software.
This is not a traditional product role, and the Archon product line is the only solution design to operate at global scale. You are stepping into the cockpit of a warfighting platform that needs strong technical leadership to grow, evolve, and defend its ground. If you've led in uniform, built in industry, or supported the edge with your hands on the keyboard, this is the post for you.
We are looking for a warfighter-aligned innovator with the strategic clarity to define the future of tactical communications, the technical rigor to lead development across enclave boundaries, and the operational tempo to meet classified customer needs on time, every time.
