POSITION OVERVIEW

PGI is seeking a highly strategic and dynamic Capture Director to play a pivotal role in the next phase of our growth.

This role requires exceptional business acumen and deep knowledge of IC and DoW customers, including the market drivers and acquisition trends shaping their security requirements. The candidate must be able to assess customer needs alongside Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) requirements and use those insights to build capture plans that align with PGI's growth objectives.
