Business Office Integration Tower Director

Overview

Introduction:

Every VA organization that runs within Infrastructure Success (IS) is a customer, and each one expects its request to be heard, delivered, and well-supported well. As our Business Office Integration Director, you’ll lead the teams that make that happen: the front door where infrastructure requests arrive, the project teams that move and modernize data center workloads, the developers who build the ServiceNow and Power BI tools IO runs on, and the people who keep customers, leaders, and staff informed. You’ll turn a high volume of requests, projects, and deliverables into a service VA customers can count on, and give VA leadership a clear, honest view of how that service is performing. If you enjoy running a complex operation with a customer’s keen eye, and you want to provide exceptional service for those who served, we’d like to talk with you.

Position Summary:

The Business Office Integration Director is the single contractor-side leader accountable for IS’s customer-facing service delivery under Business Office Integrations. This leader directs project management, intake, ServiceNow and Power BI development, customer outreach, administrative and front office support, strategic communications, and technical documentation, and owns their deliverables and acceptable quality levels (AQLs).

This leader must drive collaboration across its peers in FinOps, Data Center Operations, and Service Delivery Integration, because the service providers, customers, data, and hand-offs are shared.

The Business Office Integration Tower Director leads:

• Infrastructure project management data center and IS, from local efforts to enterprise-wide moves.
• Centralized intake and workload placement for infrastructure requests across cloud, containerized, and on-premises environments.
• ServiceNow (or equivalent) Service Catalog, workflow, and scoped application development.

• Administrative analysis, business studies, and executive briefings.

The Director runs these functions as one integrated service for IS’s customers, measured against the contract’s performance standards. All work stays within the Government’s authority over approvals, policy, prioritization, and personnel decisions.

At TISTA, you’ll do meaningful, mission‑driven work that improves lives alongside teammates you trust and leaders who are transparent and supportive.
