<p>Description</p><p><b>Location: </b>Remote — must be based in and/or able to travel extensively across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, West, Pacific & Alaska, Midwest, and Central regions. Travel requirements of up to 50%. Travel typically ranges from 25-50%, increasing during active disaster response periods.</p><p></p><h2>Position Summary</h2><p>ICF is a global consulting and technology services company with approximately 9,000 employees, but we are not your typical consultants. At ICF, business analysts and policy specialists work together with digital strategists, data scientists, and creatives. We combine unmatched industry expertise with cutting-edge engagement capabilities to help organizations solve their most complex challenges. Since 1969, public and private sector clients have worked with ICF to navigate change and shape the future.</p><p></p><p>ICF's Disaster Management Division helps government clients prepare for, respond to, recover from, and build resilience against disasters — from hurricanes and wildfires to floods and other large-scale emergencies. Within the Division, the FEMA Line of Business delivers preparedness, response, and recovery services — including disaster recovery, Public Assistance, grants management, and resilience support — to state, county, municipal, and tribal government clients nationwide, drawing on programmatic knowledge of the Stafford Act and FEMA's Public Assistance Program.</p><p></p><p>This Portfolio Manager will build ICF's Public Assistance & Recovery presence across FEMA Regions 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 — designated growth regions for the division that include several future target states. This is a business development- and strategy-heavy role: the successful candidate will build a regional book of business largely from the ground up, working from a small number of existing toe-hold engagements, and will be measured first on pipeline development and new client acquisition, with portfolio and delivery management growing alongside the book. Reporting to the Recovery Service Line Lead this leader is expected to bring ICF's project management standards and delivery expectations into every new engagement from day one — building the region's culture and rigor as it grows, rather than inheriting an established team.</p><p></p><h2>Key Responsibilities</h2><p><b>Business Development & Market Growth</b></p><ul><li><p>Build ICF's Public Assistance & Recovery presence across the assigned regions, prioritizing target states for expansion.</p></li><li><p>Develop and execute a regional capture strategy in partnership with the Senior Director, Public Assistance & Recovery, the FEMA Line of Business Lead and the Group Business Development team including target client mapping, teaming partnerships, and pipeline development.</p></li><li><p>Build senior relationships with state and local emergency management agencies, risk/insurance offices, and public assistance grant recipients across the region.</p></li><li><p>Grow existing toe-hold engagements in the region into broader accounts.</p></li><li><p>Represent ICF at regional industry events, state emergency management association meetings, and client conferences to build brand presence in target states.</p></li><li><p>Gain competitive intelligence on client needs, priorities, and incumbent contracts to position ICF</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>Proposal Management</b></p><ul><li><p>Lead proposal development and submission for pursuits within the region — assembling capture teams, coordinating technical volumes with Project Managers/SMEs, and owning RFP compliance and schedule.</p></li><li><p>Oversee go/no-go decisions on regional pursuits; escalate multi-region or above-threshold opportunities to the Senior Director.</p></li><li><p>Contribute to pricing and teaming strategy on regional pursuits</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>Portfolio & Delivery Oversight</b></p><ul><li><p>Own portfolio P&L for the region as it builds; oversee scope, schedule, and budget delivery on awarded engagements.</p></li><li><p>Recruit, onboard, and build delivery capacity (Project Managers and SMEs) as new work is awarded.

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird?

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?
