  • Lead information security projects from initial conceptualization through implementation, authorization, and operational acceptance.
  • Provide risk assessments and technical recommendations to senior leadership to support informed decision-making.
  • Manage the compliance posture of complex, multi-site Wide Area Networks (WANs) using RMF and JSIG standards.
  • Prepare and maintain RMF authorization packages, including SSPs, POA&Ms, and continuous monitoring artifacts.

  • Bachelor’s degree in an IT-related subject matter area from an accredited college or university.
  • 12+ years of experience in an operational cybersecurity role, or 16+ years in IT with at least 10 years in a cybersecurity role.
  • At least 10 years of Information Assurance/Cybersecurity management experience.
  • Current DoD 8570/8140 CISSP or CISM certification.
  • Experience managing RMF, JSIG, NIST security controls, and CNSSI 1253 requirements for SAP Information Systems.
  • Experience implementing STIGs, SRGs, and using tools like Tenable/Nessus, ACAS, Splunk, JIRA, and Confluence.
  • Experience working with PSOs, SCAs, AOs, and government representatives in an SAP environment (preferred).
