CACI

About The Position

CACI is seeking a senior, highly trusted DIA strategic growth leader to accelerate our expansion across the Defense Intelligence Agency. This individual will serve as a strategic advisor, client executive, and integrator, helping CACI deepen relationships, shape upcoming acquisitions, and position the company for major DIA mission and enterprise program pursuits.

Serve as a trusted interface to DIA leadership, including CIO, mission directorates, and mission-support organizations.
Leverage deep institutional knowledge to interpret DIA priorities, organizational shifts, and acquisition signals and translate them into actionable CACI strategy.

Act as a connective tissue between Line of Business leaders, BD, Capture, and delivery teams to ensure consistent DIA engagement and messaging.
Work across DIA mission, CIO, and procurement communities to ensure holistic positioning, not stove-piped engagement.

Provide insight into how mission needs, technology modernization, and acquisition strategy intersect inside DIA.
Provide voice-of-the-customer insight during priority captures, milestone reviews, and competitive assessments.
Participate selectively in proposal strategy, black hats, and executive reviews where DIA knowledge materially improves win probability.
Help identify and recruit additional DIA-experienced talent (SMEs, PMs, advisors) as part of long-term account build-out.
