About the position
GovCIO is seeking experienced growth leaders to serve as the Solution Architects Director within our Growth and Development Team. This position is fully remote, allowing for flexibility while engaging in critical business capture activities. The Solution Architecture Director will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategies that lead to successful proposals and solutions for our clients.
