Head of Operations

CyberCore Technologies has built substantial capabilities across secure supply chain, software and systems development, IT infrastructure, and value-added reselling; our capabilities are supported by cleared personnel, an accredited SCIF, and scalable infrastructure. We're now looking for an operational leader who can integrate these assets into a unified platform for growth. The Head of Operations will translate our diverse capabilities into compelling, competitive offerings that capitalize on market opportunities. This is a role for a leader with vision; someone who sees how the pieces fit together and can turn operational excellence into revenue.

Strategic Impact

• Developing an integrated operational platform - Building a solutions platform that integrates service lines

• Building scalable systems that support 2-3x growth without proportional overhead increases

Key Responsibilities

Organizational Leadership
