About the role

  • The Digital Modernization & Experience (DMX) Group Chief Technology Officer (CTO) plays a pivotal role in driving customer engagement, solution strategy, and growth-oriented technology leadership across the DMX portfolio.
  • The Group CTO is AI-first in mindset and judgment, with the breadth to layer modern AI capability into DMX's existing cloud, data, cybersecurity, and software engineering work.
  • The role emphasizes product judgment, AI conviction, and the standing to challenge programs that aren't delivering expected results and outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Develop scalable, repeatable delivery patterns across cloud, data, cybersecurity, digital modernization, and AI, with particular emphasis on where AI accelerates or changes the business model of the others.
  • Lead technology evaluations, proofs of concept, executive briefings, and client demonstrations to drive adoption and customer buy-in.
  • Develop and mentor senior technologists and architects across DMX, strengthening the technical bench and communities of practice.
  • Partner with the enterprise CTO function, other ICF Group and Field CTOs, business leaders, and partners to align technology investments with growth priorities.
  • Support technical and commercial diligence on acquisition targets, including valuation model review, and assessment of whether a target's technical claims support its projected growth.
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to convey complex and highly technical concepts in understandable ways to clients and internal partners.

Requirements

  • Defensible, experience-grounded point of view on what AI can and cannot do in regulated mission environments, with the judgment and standing to call out vendor and internal hype when it appears.
  • Experience guiding architectural standards, governance models, and technical guardrails across multiple programs or portfolios.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills, with a track record of influencing senior peers and customer executives without org chart authority.
  • Strong technical foundation, evidenced by a Bachelor's degree in a technical field, advanced research training, or equivalent demonstrated technical depth.
  • Years of tenure are not a primary screen.
  • Operated as a hands-on technical leader at a high-velocity AI or software product company or led the integration of modern AI capability into enterprise delivery at scale.
  • Led it - not governed or reviewed it.
  • Comparators include Palantir, Anthropic, OpenAI, Scale, Cohere, and similar.
  • Demonstrated success shaping captures and proposals in regulated environments, including solution architecture and executive-level technical narratives.
  • Working depth in cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), modern data engineering, and AI-augmented software delivery.
  • Sufficient ground in cybersecurity and compliance to navigate ATO, NIST, and FISMA.

Nice to have

  • Federal experience preferred but not required if AI conviction and adjacent regulated-market experience are strong.

Skills

  • Ability to influence behavior, with both implicit and explicit authority.
  • Flexible approach to managing multiple priorities and adapting to changing demands.
  • Sound business ethics, including the protection of proprietary and confidential information.
  • Ability to work effectively with all levels of internal staff, including executive management.
  • Results-driven and self-motivated, while keeping others informed on progress toward goals.
  • Success in the first 12 months:
  • Influences priority pursuits through differentiated solution strategies and technical leadership.
  • Built or scaled AI-first technology in production within the last 5 years, with direct involvement in technical decisions.
  • Breadth to operate at the enterprise level.
