Initially, this role is expected to be weighted approximately 75% pre-sales and growth support / 25% delivery advisory, with flexibility to shift as delivery needs evolve. Qualifications - 6+ years of technology leadership experience supporting major modernization, integration, workflow automation, case management, or platform-based application programs. - 5+ years of experience serving as a technical lead, solution architect, or senior architect on programs leveraging Appian. - 5+ years of experience leading Appian technical solutioning for pre-sales, capture, proposal, and client-shaping efforts. - 5+ years of experience with Appian solution architecture, including process models, records, data models, integrations, security, interfaces, deployment patterns, and enterprise delivery considerations. - 5+ years of experience developing or guiding Appian demos, proofs of concept, proofs of value, prototypes, or reusable solution accelerators. - 5+ years of experience supporting federal clients, federal capture efforts, or federal proposal environments. - Demonstrated ability to translate business needs and mission requirements into compelling Appian-based technical solutions. - U.S. citizenship required. - Must be eligible to obtain and maintain federal public trust or clearance suitability as required by client engagements. Requirements - Ability to support both services solutioning and Appian license/pricing strategy discussions. - Strong executive communication skills, including the ability to brief senior leaders, facilitate client workshops, and present technical concepts to non-technical audiences. - Ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-moving pursuit environments. - Appian Lead Developer certification strongly preferred. - Appian Senior Developer, Solution Architect, or equivalent advanced Appian experience preferred. - Prior experience in a pre-sales, solution consulting, capture solution architect, or growth-focused technical leadership role. - Experience contributing to or leading oral presentations, color team reviews, solution reviews, technical volume development, and pricing/BOE assumptions. - Familiarity with Appian licensing, reseller motions, partner sales strategy, or platform pricing constructs. - Experience supporting federal modernization programs across domains such as case management, grants, acquisition, health, transportation, regulatory, inspections, licensing, permitting, or AI-enabled workflow automation. - Experience with adjacent technologies such as AWS, Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, ServiceNow, MuleSoft, DocuSign, Power BI, Tableau, or other enterprise integration, data, automation, and analytics platforms. - Familiarity with agile delivery, DevSecOps, human-centered design, Section 508, FedRAMP, zero trust, and federal security/compliance requirements. - Experience building reusable practice assets, solution accelerators, demo environments, technical playbooks, or delivery governance frameworks. First 60-90 Day Expectations The successful candidate should be able to make an immediate impact by: - Leading technical solutioning for 1-2 priority pursuits per month. - Establishing ownership of the Appian demo, sandbox, and proof-of-value backlog. - Developing or improving reusable pre-sales assets, including demo scripts, solution patterns, ROM/LOE assumptions, and proposal response content. - Building relationships with Appian Practice leadership, ICF capture and BD teams, Appian partner stakeholders, and key delivery leaders. - Providing targeted delivery advisory support to active Appian programs where senior architecture input is needed. - Helping define a repeatable engagement model for Appian pre-sales, demo, POV, and pursuit support. Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a senior Appian architect who can move fluidly between whiteboard strategy, hands-on demo development, capture solutioning, delivery advisory, and executive-level client engagement. They are equally comfortable helping shape a pursuit, building a prototype, advising a delivery team, supporting a pricing conversation, or representing ICF’s Appian capabilities in front of clients and partner teams. This person should bring strong federal consulting judgment, deep Appian credibility, and the ability to help ICF scale its Appian Practice through repeatable assets, stronger pre-sales execution, and differentiated solution leadership. Location and Travel East Coast location preferred. Candidate must be able to travel periodically to the Washington, DC area, ICF offices, client sites, Appian offices, and partner events as needed. Pay Range The pay range for this position based on full-time employment is: $144,381.00 - $245,448.00.
