Mission Outcome Lead

Annapolis Junction, MD

Join a team that powers the business enterprise behind the mission. Freedom supports the sustainment, modernization, and transformation of more than 100 enterprise business systems that enable tens of thousands of government personnel, industry partners, and prospective employees worldwide. These mission-enabling applications support workforce management, finance, acquisitions, security processing, training, recruitment, logistics, program management, executive decision-making, and other critical business functions across multiple secure environments.  

We are seeking a Mission Outcome Lead (MOL) to join one of our Prime Contracts supporting the Government's Corporate Management Services (CMS) organization. In this role, you will provide senior technical leadership across a portfolio of mission-aligned enterprise systems, operating at the intersection of mission needs, systems engineering, software delivery, architecture, and technical integration. You will work across multiple products and technical teams to translate mission priorities into coordinated, technically executable outcomes; identify and resolve cross-product dependencies, integration challenges, lifecycle issues, and technical risks; and provide senior technical guidance to Delivery Technical Leads (DTLs) and product teams when issues extend beyond an individual product boundary. Successful candidates will understand the full engineering lifecycle—from requirements and architecture through design, development, integration, verification, deployment, operations, sustainment, and modernization—and possess the engineering judgment to evaluate technical approaches, challenge assumptions, recognize gaps, and bring the right technical disciplines together to solve complex problems.  

If you're looking for an opportunity where your work has broad enterprise impact, you'll find it here. Our diverse and growing team offers the chance to solve complex technical challenges, collaborate with talented professionals, and directly contribute to the technology and services that enable the Government's mission around the world. 

Primary Responsibilities: 

  • Serve as the senior technical integration and delivery lead for an assigned mission area spanning multiple products, applications, platforms, and engineering teams, translating Government mission objectives and stakeholder priorities into coordinated technical outcomes and executable engineering activities. 
  • Maintain a systems-level view of mission-area architectures, interfaces, data flows, environments, infrastructure, security boundaries, dependencies, constraints, and modernization efforts to identify cross-product impacts and ensure solutions work effectively across the broader enterprise. 
  • Provide senior technical guidance and escalation support to Delivery Technical Leads (DTLs), helping teams navigate complex engineering challenges, unclear technical direction, integration issues, lifecycle concerns, and decisions requiring broader systems-level context or expertise. 
  • Interface and communicate with A+3 leadership and Product Leads to understand strategic priorities, develop and maintain technical roadmaps, gather desired outcomes, and translate leadership direction into actionable objectives and technical activities. 
  • Apply systems engineering and software development lifecycle principles across requirements, architecture, design, development, integration, verification and validation, deployment, operations, sustainment, and modernization to drive disciplined and technically sound delivery. 
  • Assess technical approaches, implementation strategies, estimates, sequencing, dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and resource needs to evaluate engineering feasibility, technical completeness, operational readiness, and alignment with mission objectives. 
  • Identify and proactively manage cross-product dependencies, technical risks, architectural conflicts, integration gaps, technical debt, cybersecurity impacts, infrastructure constraints, and lifecycle concerns; facilitate resolution by engaging the appropriate engineering disciplines and subject matter experts. 
  • Partner with Government stakeholders, DTLs, Product Leads, engineers, architects, and technical SMEs to clarify mission needs and requirements, surface ambiguity and missing technical information, and ensure work is sufficiently understood and actionable before significant engineering execution begins. 
  • Ensure engineering teams adhere to program-level governance, systems engineering practices, technical standards, and established development and deliver processes; identify deviations or gaps and coordinate appropriate corrective actions to maintain technical consistency and program alignment. 
  • Coordinate technical planning and execution across products when mission outcomes require changes to multiple systems, interfaces, environments, or teams, ensuring dependencies, integration activities, technical decisions, and delivery sequencing are understood and appropriately managed. 
  • Monitor and assess contract deliverables across assigned products and engineering teams, ensuring technical commitments, requirements, milestones, and acceptance criteria are understood, tracked, and met; identify deliver risks and escalate concerns with clear analysis and recommended actions. 
  • Monitor mission-area technical health and delivery progress, distinguishing product-level issues from systemic or portfolio-level concerns, and escalating significant technical, architectural, integration, security, or delivery risks with clear analysis, alternatives, trade-offs, and recommended actions. 
  • Mentor and strengthen DTLs through technical coaching, systems-level perspective, and engineering lifecycle guidance; communicate complex technical findings, decisions, risks, and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders while fostering collaboration across engineering disciplines. 
  • Validate and communicate staffing position requirements to the PMO, ensuring roles, responsibilities, technical skill requirements, and resource needs are accurately defined, aligned with planned engineering activities and mission outcomes, and reflected in program staffing plans. 
  • Establish and maintain technical decision traceability across the assigned mission area, ensuring significant architecture, integration, technology, implementation, and lifecycle decisions are documented with their rationale, assumptions, dependencies, trade-offs, impacts, and responsible decision authority, and are communicated to affected products and engineering teams.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
