Indigenous Market Leader

The Indigenous Market Leader is responsible for advancing Bodwé’s architecture and engineering services with Tribal Nations across the United States. This role leads relationship development, pursuit strategy, and project engagement directly with tribal governments, enterprises, housing authorities, health organizations, and Native-led nonprofits. This role will partner with the Federal Market Leader(s) to work closely with federal agencies that support tribal communities (such as the Indian Health Service (IHS), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)). Rooted in respect for tribal sovereignty and cultural identity, the Indigenous Market Leader guides early conversations, visioning efforts, and planning engagements that honor community-defined priorities. This leader helps shape projects in housing, healthcare, education, infrastructure, cultural preservation, and economic development, ensuring they are responsive to the values and long-term goals of the Nations we serve. The Indigenous Market Leader works in close collaboration with discipline directors, Federal Market Leaders, and the Proposal Development Director to align tribal pursuits with Bodwé’s strategic capabilities. This role also supports the internal development of culturally informed practices, mentoring team members to engage with tribal clients in a way that reflects humility, commitment, and trust-building.
