Executive

GovCIO is looking for a VP of Business Unit Strategy & Integration to serve as the strategic and operational partner to the Senior Vice President of the Benefits & Memorials Business Unit. The VP works across the business unit to connect technical delivery, business performance, financial management, growth, staffing, client priorities, and organizational commitments.

This individual acts as a force multiplier for the SVP by creating visibility across the business, identifying issues and opportunities early, preparing decisions, coordinating cross-functional action, and ensuring commitments are carried through to completion.

The role requires a rare combination of technical fluency and business acumen. The VP must be able to understand program architecture, delivery risks, technical dependencies, and modernization roadmaps while also evaluating financial performance, staffing, contract requirements, growth opportunities, and organizational priorities.

This is not an administrative Chief of Staff or a traditional reporting role. The VP is expected to understand the substance of the business, challenge assumptions, identify connections across programs, and convert information into decisions and action.

The VP reports directly to the Senior Vice President of the Benefits & Memorials Business Unit.

• Reduce redundant reporting and administrative burden by creating reliable sources of information and common operating practices.
• Identify patterns across programs rather than treating each risk or issue as an isolated event.
• Escalate emerging concerns early and ensure leaders are not surprised by known delivery, client, workforce, financial, or contractual risks.
