Digital Ecosystem Engagement Lead

Strategic ACI is seeking a Digital Ecosystem Engagement Lead to drive stakeholder adoption, tenant onboarding, and cultural transformation for a Digital Engineering Ecosystem (DEE) supporting NGA. This senior, customer-facing role owns the relationship between the delivery team and the growing base of NGA program offices, mission partners, and — in later phases — external IC/DoD stakeholders who onboard onto the DEE.

The Engagement Lead is central to the program's born-digital transformation approach, helping NGA stakeholders shift from fragmented, document-centric practices toward a sustained Digital Engineering mindset. This role partners closely with the Technical PM/DE Lead and Enterprise Architect but focuses on stakeholder engagement, communications, training, and onboarding rather than architecture or engineering execution. As a senior subject matter expert, this role leads strategic-level meetings with government stakeholders and serves as a primary point of contact for engagement issues of strategic importance to the program.

Salary will be commensurate within the advertised range, based on applicable qualifications.

Responsibilities:
Serve as the primary engagement point for NGA program offices, CIO-T, and mission stakeholders adopting the Digital Ecosystem, translating technical capabilities into mission value.

Own the Tenant Onboarding & Management function, including onboarding workflows, access requests, and support processes for new users and organizations joining the DEE Web Portal.

Lead change management and adoption activities supporting the program's born-digital transformation approach, helping stakeholders transition from legacy, document-centric practices to model-driven workflows.

Develop and deliver stakeholder communications, training materials, and how-to documentation supporting onboarding of new tenants, mission teams, and (in later Releases) external stakeholders and mission partners.

Coordinate closely with the Enterprise Architect and Technical PM/DE Lead to ensure engagement activities align with the release roadmap, governance model, and technical capabilities being delivered each Release.

Support planning and execution of Release demonstrations, sprint reviews, and executive reviews from a stakeholder communications and engagement perspective.

Lead planning for expanding external stakeholder participation beginning in later Releases, including onboarding processes, access management coordination, and stakeholder needs assessments.

Gather and synthesize stakeholder feedback to inform the roadmap, backlog priorities, and Architecture Decision Record (ADR) process.

**Qualifications:**Required:
Active TS/SCI clearance and the ability to pass a CI polygraph within 30 days.

Bachelor's degree in a technical, communications, or management discipline, or additional relevant experience in lieu of a degree.

15+ years of experience in stakeholder engagement, customer success, change management, or program engagement roles supporting IC or DoD technical programs.

Demonstrated experience driving adoption of new technical platforms, tools, or ways of working across a large, multi-organization enterprise.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience developing training materials, onboarding documentation, and stakeholder briefings.

Experience coordinating cross-functionally with technical leads, program management, and government stakeholders in a fast-paced delivery environment.

Desired:
Experience supporting NGA, DoD, or Intelligence Community digital transformation, digital engineering, or enterprise architecture programs.

Familiarity with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Twins, or Digital Engineering Ecosystem concepts.

Experience supporting multi-tenant platform onboarding or user adoption programs in a classified or enterprise IT environment.

Familiarity with Confluence/Jira and Agile/Scrum delivery models.

Experience supporting external stakeholders or mission-partner integration efforts.
