Business Development Manager — Federal Subcontr...

OXUS is hiring a federal business development leader to drive growth through subcontracting, teaming, and strategic partnerships
. We are intentionally keeping the target federal agency open—we want to learn where top candidates have the strongest relationships, credibility, and near‑term opportunity paths
.

This is a high‑ownership role for someone who can secure near‑term subcontracting work through prime contractor relationships and build a disciplined pursuit pipeline aligned to OXUS services:
management consulting, IT services, and human capital/workforce solutions
.

• Serve as the primary account lead for a federal portfolio aligned to your strongest agency relationships and select prime contractor partners.
• Translate customer/partner engagement into qualified pursuits, teaming positions, and awards.

• Develop and execute a BD strategy for the federal agencies where you have the strongest traction, aligned to OXUS offerings.
• Identify whitespace and partner‑led routes to market across consulting, IT services, and workforce solutions.

• Identify, qualify, and shape subcontracting and teaming opportunities across mission support, IT/cyber, data/analytics, modernization, and workforce needs.
• Lead capture actions: win strategy, teaming approach, solution shaping, and proposal support coordination (in partnership with internal technical/delivery resources).
• Ensure pursuits align with OXUS strengths, delivery capacity, and mission priorities.

• Foster strategic teaming relationships across large primes, small businesses, and niche/technology partners to expand reach and improve competitiveness.

• Maintain clean, accurate pipeline records (CRM) and deliver disciplined forecasting and reporting to senior leadership.
• Run a practical growth cadence (opportunity qualification standards, lightweight gate reviews, and pursuit health checks).
• Provide timely briefings on account strategy, pipeline health, pursuit status, risks, and path‑to‑win.
• Monitor acquisition trends, competitive landscape, and evolving agency priorities to anticipate and shape emerging opportunities.
• Represent OXUS at agency and industry events; translate engagement into concrete pursuits and teaming actions.

• 30 days: clear target map (your agency portfolio + key primes), active partner conversations, and multiple qualified subcontracting opportunities in motion.
• 60 days: shaped pursuits with defined win strategies, partner alignment, and capture/proposal plans.
• 90 days (goal): a subcontract award or a credibly late‑stage prime‑led pursue position plus a repeatable pipeline of qualified opportunities.

(Federal timelines vary; expectation is tangible progress, credible pursuit positioning, and near‑term commercial results through compliant channels.)

• Demonstrated success driving federal business development, especially via prime contractor relationships leading to subcontract tasking/awards.
• Proven ability to qualify opportunities, lead teaming/capture actions, and coordinate proposal support.
• Strong communication, negotiation, and executive presence.

• Deep domain expertise in one or more federal mission areas/agencies where you have established relationships and credibility.
• Experience across one or more: management consulting/mission support, IT/cyber/data, and/or workforce solutions.
• Working knowledge of the federal acquisition lifecycle and common contract vehicles; strong CRM discipline.

Clearance: Nice to have, not required.

This role requires compliant BD practices, including no seeking/using nonpublic procurement or source‑selection information and maintaining professional integrity in government and industry interactions.
OXUS does not request or accept nonpublic procurement information.

• the federal agencies/mission areas where you have the strongest relationships
