Agile Six is a federal digital services company, primarily serving the VA and HHS. We build and ship working software with small, empowered teams, under fixed-price terms, with AI embedded in how we work. Our leadership came out of government. We have sat on the other side of the table as contracting officers, program managers, and policy advisors. We have watched how procurement decisions actually get made, what incentives drive behavior on both sides, and where the system consistently produces outcomes nobody wants. That experience is the foundation of how we operate. We approach every engagement through an economics-first lens: what does it return, to whom, and does the structure reward the right behavior?
That question led us to build differently. Smaller teams. Tighter accountability. An ownership model, through an equal-share ESOP, where the people delivering the work share in what they create. We operate from a simple belief: we build better by putting people first. Our values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management, and Inclusion are not aspirational. They are how we evaluate every decision, from which contracts to pursue to how we structure compensation. We believe the government deserves honest brokers: partners willing to help define what success actually looks like, not just execute against metrics that may not measure anything meaningful. We help our government partners think about contracts as investments and outcomes as the only measure that matters. We are not a staffing company, a consulting firm, or a movement. We are a company that has placed real bets on a different model and can point to the results. We are not driven by growth for growth's sake. We focus on building meaningful, value-driven relationships and we are willing to walk away from work that does not fit.
This role is about disciplined expansion in a market where Agile Six already has delivery credibility, established trust, and past performance that speaks for itself. You are not starting from zero. We have active teams at the VA doing real work on benefits digitization, VA.gov, and health modernization. That foundation gives you something most BD roles don't offer: a client who knows us, delivery teams you can learn from, and real intelligence about where the next opportunities are coming from.
The VA is also at an inflection point. Current OIT leadership is pushing toward outcome-based evaluation and investment-oriented contracting. That is exactly the model we have been building toward. The person in this role needs to understand where the VA has been and where it is going, and help position Agile Six to grow alongside that shift.
We need someone with deep familiarity with the VA ecosystem, an established network within VA program offices, and the judgment to know which opportunities are actually worth pursuing. If you have worked inside the VA ecosystem and been frustrated by how much energy goes into process instead of outcomes, this will feel familiar.
We care about what you bring in, but we care as much about what you walk away from. Bringing us revenue we cannot deliver well, or that does not align with how we operate, is worse than bringing us nothing. The judgment about which opportunities fit is part of the job, not an afterthought.
This is not a standard Director position at Agile Six. You will operate with more autonomy than a typical hire and more accountability than a typical role. You will have direct access to company ownership, a seat in the strategic conversation, and an equity stake tied to what you build. In return, we expect real traction within the first year. If it is not working, we will say so. If it is working, the upside is real.
This is not a quota-driven, individual commission role. We are building a market development team that develops markets together, shares intelligence, and wins work we can actually deliver well. You will own your pipeline, but you will operate as part of a team. Senior leadership is active in relationship development and closing. Your job includes building presence, cultivating relationships, developing pipelines, and bringing the right people into the right conversations at the right time. Some days you will close deals yourself. Some days you will set the table for someone else. The measure is what the team produces together, not just what any individual brings in.
Delivery-informed BD is core to how we operate across every market we serve. You are not working in parallel to delivery. You are working from it. Our active teams are the source of truth for where the real opportunities are, what is actually working, and what we should avoid. If you are used to selling ahead of delivery, this will feel different. If you are used to working alongside delivery to shape better outcomes, this will feel like leverage.
In your first year, you will have deepened relationships with key VA stakeholders and partners that position Agile Six for specific, qualified opportunities. You are stepping into a market where we already have trust, past performance, and active delivery relationships. Your job is to extend that foundation strategically, not rebuild it from scratch. You will have a working understanding of our active VA delivery portfolio and how it informs growth strategy. You will own a pipeline that reflects strategic discipline, not volume, with sufficient coverage to give us real confidence in what is coming. You will have collaborated with delivery teams on at least one opportunity where the BD and delivery relationship made a measurable difference. And you will have contributed to refining how our Market Development circle operates as a team, not just as a collection of individual pipelines.
We will know within the first six to nine months whether this is working. If it is not, we will have an honest conversation and we will act on what we see. That honesty works in both directions. If you are not getting what you need from us, we expect you to tell us.
Base salary: $180,000 to $230,000, plus commission and performance-based equity.
This role is compensated differently than most positions at Agile Six, and for good reason. We are asking you to build something. The upside should reflect that.
You will have a direct equity conversation with company ownership as part of the offer process. Equity vests on performance, not tenure. Bring in meaningful, aligned revenue and you participate in the long-term value you helped create. Produce nothing and the equity does not vest. The structure is that direct.
If your background is exceptional, we are open to discussing compensation structure from the start. For strong performers, we also revisit as results come in. Few firms in this space will have either conversation. We will.
Our benefits are designed to reinforce our core values of Wholeness, Self Management and Inclusion. We respect that only you know what balance means for your life and season. While we offer support from coaches, we expect you to own your wholeness, show up for work whole, and go home to your family the same. You will be seen, heard and valued. We expect you to offer the same for your colleagues, be kind (not controlling), be caring (not directive) and ready to participate in a state of flow. We mean it when we say “We build better by putting people first”.
