What we expect at this level

About the role Agile Six is looking for a senior market development leader to grow our work across the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the broader U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the federal health information technology landscape. We have more than a decade of delivery experience at CMS and HHS, including work in payment modernization, quality programs, agile transformation, and grants modernization. This role will build from that foundation, deepening our presence across CMS first, while identifying strategic opportunities across HHS and health IT where our experience and delivery model give us a meaningful advantage. This is a highly autonomous role with significant responsibility for shaping where Agile Six invests, which opportunities we pursue, and how we develop relationships and partnerships in the market. As a self-managed organization, “Director” reflects the scope, accountability, and external leadership of the role rather than traditional people-management authority. Success is more than generating pipeline or revenue. We want to pursue work that aligns with our capabilities, values, and ability to deliver meaningful outcomes for government partners.
