Marketing And Communications Manager

Bowhead seeks a Marketing and Communications Manager to join our team in Springfield, VA. The Marketing & Communications Manager is a senior-level communications and marketing professional responsible for developing and executing comprehensive strategies that enhance the visibility, reputation, and engagement of UIC Government Services (UICGS) and the Bowhead Family of Companies. This position plays a pivotal role in advancing the mission and business objectives of an Alaska Native Company (ANC) and its family of subsidiaries that support federal government agencies and the U.S. military.

The Manager ensures consistent, strategic, and high-quality communication across all internal and external channels, connecting with key audiences including federal agencies and contracting partners, industry peers, employees, corporate leadership, and UIC shareholders in Alaska.
