## Description

Everforth ECS is seeking a Technical Advocate to work in our Stafford, VA office.

The Technical Advocate serves as a trusted technical advisor, partnering with diverse organizations, technical teams, and stakeholders to assess existing IT environments and develop practical cloud adoption and migration strategies. This role is highly consultative, focusing on discovery, technical engagement, infrastructure assessment, and solution recommendations rather than direct implementation.

The successful candidate will engage with multiple geographically dispersed sites and independent technical organizations to understand current infrastructure, governance, security policies, storage architectures, networking requirements, and operational constraints. Using these assessments, the engineer will formulate cloud architecture recommendations, migration approaches, and modernization roadmaps that align with organizational objectives, security requirements, and technical best practices.

This position bridges business objectives and technical execution by translating complex technical environments into actionable cloud transformation strategies.

Salary Range: $120,000 - $160,000
