  • Manage and assess the security impact of changes to information systems
  • Assist in developing and implementing IT security policies and programs
  • Maintain configuration management for security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware
  • Collaborate with Government and contractor teams on technical security matters
  • Support system security documentation, policy development, and change management
  • Ensure operational security compliance with organizational and DoD directives

Required Skills and Qualifications :

  • Experience with system security design, policy enforcement, and vulnerability management
  • Familiarity with current security tools, encryption techniques, and secure communications protocols
  • Understanding of risk management processes, incident response, and system hardening
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills for interfacing with technical teams and leadership
  • Ability to work independently or as part of a team supporting mission-critical systems
  • Education and Experience :

  • Ten (10) years of relevant experience in security authorization, IT security policy, or related Cybersecurity functions
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT Engineering, or a related technical field from an accredited college or university
  • In lieu of a degree , an additional four (4) years of directly related experience may be substituted (totaling 14 years)
  • Certifications :

  • Candidate must meet IAM Level II or III certification requirements (e.g., CAP, CASP+ CE, CISM, GSLC, CISSP, or equivalent).
  • Clearance Requirement :

  • Must possess an active TS / SCI with appropriate Polygraph to be considered for this role
