Job Description
Vice President, Global Growth Director – Defense Prime/OEM Facilities & Vertical Construction
This is a high-impact leadership role within AECOM's Design Practice, responsible for defining and executing the US strategy for engagement with Defense Primes / OEM clients as it pertains to vertical construction, facilities delivery, and architectural and engineering design. This includes manufacturing and final assembly facilities, hangars and MRO facilities, training facilities, SCIF/SAPF and other ICD 705-compliant secure facilities, and program office space delivered at Defense Primes / OEM sites and government installations.
The position carries accountability for client relationships, growth strategy, pipeline development, capture, and delivery performance across AECOM’s Design practice. It combines strategic leadership with hands-on account execution to drive growth, strengthen client partnerships, and deliver consistent performance.
The primary role focuses on the U.S. market, but will also involve interaction with other AECOM regions including the UK, Continental Europe, Middle East, and Australia/New Zealand. This role is focused on Defense Primes / OEM clients (Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BAE, RTX, etc.) — candidates with hands-on experience delivering vertical construction and facilities projects for these clients, at their own sites or at government-owned/contractor-operated facilities, will be looked upon most favorably. A background that spans a role with defense Primes / OEMs, followed by a career in A&E vertical construction delivery, is an ideal profile for this position.
This position will report to the AECOM’s Global Design Practice SVP, Head of Strategy & Growth, and will work closely with our US DOW Team and global defense leaders across the company.
We welcome applications from candidates who are already performing in a similar role, as well as those who have the experience, capability, and ambition to take the next logical step in their career progression into this position.
Qualifications
- Candidates must have a background in architecture, engineering, or a related A/E discipline with direct delivery experience on vertical construction projects (e.g., building design, building engineering, planning, or program/construction management) for Defense Primes / OEM clients — pure IT, cybersecurity, digital systems integration, or general business development backgrounds without hands-on A&E design or delivery experience will not meet the qualifications for this role.
- BA/BS +20 years’ experience or equivalent, including 4 years of leadership experience
- Due to the nature of the work, U.S. citizenship is required
- Proven experience working with Defense Primes / OEM clients and US DOW agencies on facilities and vertical construction programs (e.g., manufacturing, and final assembly facilities, hangars and MRO facilities, training facilities, SCIF/SAPF facilities, barracks)
- Commercial knowledge of the Defense Primes / OEM clients industry in relation to infrastructure needs, contracts, fees, and industry needs
- Leadership experience operating across geographies and multidisciplinary teams
- Demonstrated success leading accounts, complex pursuits, and multi-region delivery
Preferred background:
- Commercially astute, with executive stakeholder engagement skills
- Industrial background & experience in advanced manufacturing
- Direct project experience on Weapon System Bed downs, SCIF/SAPF or other ICD 705-compliant facilities, training facilities, hangars, MRO facilities, final assembly buildings, or program office space delivered for Defense Primes / OEM clients

Tips for Your Assistant Vice President Job Search
Tailor your resume for AVP scope
Hiring managers at AVP level expect your resume to show team leadership, budget ownership, and cross-functional influence, not just task execution. Quantify the size of teams you led and the dollar value of projects you oversaw.
Target industries that promote internally
Banking, insurance, and asset management promote AVPs from within far more often than technology or healthcare. If you're coming from outside finance, emphasize transferable leadership experience and any relevant licenses to close that gap.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists assistant vice president openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight regulatory and compliance exposure
Most AVP postings in banking and financial services require demonstrated familiarity with internal audit cycles, regulatory reporting, or risk frameworks. Name the specific frameworks you've worked under, such as SOX, Basel, or FINRA requirements.
Prepare for the strategy round interview
AVP interviews routinely include a case or scenario question testing how you'd align a department initiative with broader business goals. Practice structuring answers that show you can communicate upward to VP and C-suite stakeholders, not just execute downward.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base
AVP offers in financial services typically include bonus targets, deferred compensation, and equity components that can outweigh base salary differences. Know your target range for each element before you receive an offer so you're not negotiating reactively.
Assistant Vice President Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most assistant vice presidents?
The companies hiring the most assistant vice presidents right now include JPMorganChase, Citi, and icapital, with the largest share of openings in New York, California, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is consistently highest in financial services, healthcare systems, and large enterprise technology firms.
How many assistant vice president jobs are remote?
About 83% of assistant vice president openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with remote availability varying significantly by industry. AVP roles in technology, marketing operations, and project management tend to offer the most location flexibility, while positions in banking, wealth management, and regulated financial services are more likely to require on-site presence.
How do you become an assistant vice president?
Most professionals reach the AVP level by first building several years of individual contributor experience in their field, then moving into a team lead or manager role where they demonstrate budget ownership and cross-functional coordination. Earning an MBA or a relevant professional certification can accelerate the path, and internal promotions are common in industries like banking and insurance where the title is a formal grade rather than a purely functional one.
Can you get an assistant vice president role without direct management experience?
Some organizations, particularly in financial services, use assistant vice president as a grade title awarded to high-performing individual contributors, so direct reports are not always required. To compete without formal management experience, emphasize project leadership, influence over cross-functional teams, and any examples where you drove outcomes beyond your own workstream. Industry certifications and a graduate degree can also offset the gap in competitive applicant pools.
What does the assistant vice president interview process look like?
The process typically runs three to five rounds and starts with a recruiter or HR screen focused on background and compensation alignment. From there, you'll usually meet a hiring manager for a behavioral interview, then a panel of senior leaders or peers who probe strategic thinking, leadership philosophy, and past results. Many organizations add a case study or presentation round at the AVP level to assess how you communicate recommendations to executive audiences.
Where can I find and apply to assistant vice president jobs?
You can find and apply to assistant vice president jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the available roles by location, industry, or specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and goals.
