Description

Description :

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Technical Project Lead (TPL) to manage and execute cybersecurity compliance projects across critical U.S. Navy and Coast Guard (USCG) network infrastructures. This role requires a unique blend of project management discipline, deep knowledge of network architecture, and expert-level application of DoD security mandates (STIGs, RMF). The TPL will be responsible for leading technical teams to deliver fully compliant network baselines, ensuring systems achieve and maintain a valid Authority to Operate (ATO) .

Project Leadership and Management

  • Execution Oversight : Lead the planning, scheduling, and execution of technical projects focused on network hardening, major system upgrades, and security tool deployments across Navy and USCG enclaves.
  • Schedule & Budget Control : Develop and maintain the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) for project tasks, manage resource allocation, and report project status and risks directly to the Program Manager and Government stakeholders.
  • Risk Management : Proactively identify, analyze, and mitigate technical risks and dependencies, focusing on potential impacts to security compliance and mission readiness.
  • Stakeholder Communication : Serve as the primary liaison between the engineering team, Cybersecurity / RMF team, and customer leadership, translating technical requirements and risks into actionable management reports.
  • Technical Team Guidance : Provide daily leadership and direction to a cross-functional team of Network Engineers, System Administrators, and Security Analysts.

Cybersecurity Implementation and Compliance

  • Security Baseline Delivery : Manage the project effort for applying, configuring, and verifying DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) to network devices (Cisco, Juniper, etc.), ensuring all network baselines are compliant.
  • Patch Management : Oversee the project lifecycle for critical patches and software updates, coordinating deployment schedules with operations teams to minimize downtime while addressing high-priority vulnerabilities.
  • Vulnerability Remediation (SCANS) : Direct and prioritize the analysis of vulnerability scans (e.g., ACAS / Nessus ) and lead the technical effort to develop and implement remediation plans, ensuring all efforts are correctly documented.
  • RMF Artifacts : Ensure the timely generation, collection, and quality control of all technical evidence and artifacts required for the Risk Management Framework (RMF) package.
  • POA&M Management : Own the technical management of the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) , tracking progress on mitigation actions and working with the Information System Security Manager (ISSM) to address residual risk.
  • Network Architecture and Configuration

  • Architecture Review : Review and approve network design documents, ensuring new or modified architectures integrate security-by-design principles and adhere to DoD and Navy standards for secure network segmentation.
  • Configuration Control : Manage the network configuration control board (CCB) process, ensuring all changes to hardware, operating systems, and security settings are formally documented, reviewed, and approved prior to implementation.
  • Systems Integration : Ensure security tools (e.g., IDS / IPS, Firewalls, access control systems) are properly configured and integrated into the overall network architecture as mandated by the security controls.
  • Requirements

    Requirements :

  • Education : Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience : Minimum of 7 years of experience in IT, with at least 3 years managing technical projects or leading engineering teams in a DoD or Federal environment.
  • Clearance : Must possess an Active DoD Secret security clearance.
  • Certification (DoD 8570 / 8140) : Must hold or be able to quickly obtain IAT Level II certification ( CASP+ , Sec+ or similar).
  • Technical Leadership : Proven, hands-on experience managing projects involving network architecture, Cisco / Juniper configuration, DISA STIG implementation, and vulnerability remediation .
  • Management Skills : Demonstrated experience in project scheduling (MS Project or similar), resource loading, and formal status reporting.
  • Preferred Requirements

  • Direct prior experience supporting U.S. Navy or U.S. Coast Guard networks.
  • Experience working within the eMASS system.
  • Expertise with large-scale patching and configuration management tools.
