Job Description

We seek driven, outcome-oriented Engagement Managers to join our client delivery team. Engagement Managers lead Govini projects, setting, directing, and executing against customer requirements, project objectives, and account strategies to deliver value to national security clients. As the lead for project and account direction, expansion, and growth, Engagement Managers are experts in the “so what.” They can see the big picture and understand the needs of decision-makers, program managers, and analysts across the national security space. They manage senior client relationships and high-visibility deployments of Govini’s SaaS platform and Advisory Services, demonstrating an ability to be creative, entrepreneurial, and strategic in vision while driving focused, tactical execution.

At Govini, Engagement Managers roll up their sleeves with our Analyst and Implementation Teams to ensure client success. They are domain and functional experts who understand our clients’ operating environments and challenges and leverage this expertise to architect solutions and ensure smooth execution. Engagement Managers are passionate about our client’s success and ensure excellence in project delivery and platform adoption. They serve as trusted advisors to their customers and drive continual account growth through the delivery of value and a relentless commitment to problem-solving.

The Engagement Manager is a savvy relationship manager who understands that part of problem-solving is understanding the client’s point of view and then can translate the client’s needs into actionable tasks and exploring areas to expand support to the clients. Engagement Managers have the commitment and experience to keep Govini’s client team in continuous touch with the client, and orient the delivery team around what the client needs.

To succeed in this job, you must understand people, care about technology and have strong business acumen. You understand the complexities of the federal government and national security space and are passionate about using data and technology to solve high-value challenges. You like people -- a lot -- and are eager to find ways to help them succeed. You have the ability to collaborate cross-functionally and the motivation and drive to lead a team across the finish line. You’re passionate about the mission and use Govini’s offerings and capabilities to drive change.
