  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior trainers and instructional staff.
  • Brief program leadership on training execution, learner performance, and identified risks or gaps.

What we're looking for

  • Active Top Secret/SCI clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, education, instructional design, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience (additional years may be considered in lieu of a degree).
  • Experience delivering cybersecurity, IT, network operations, or operational training in large or distributed organizations.
  • Experience developing and maintaining training content, including lesson plans, materials, exercises, and assessments.
  • Working knowledge of DoD 8140 and DoD Cyber Workforce Framework work roles.
