Ensure compliance with NISPOM and support RMF activities in coordination with IT security teams

Develop and maintain OPSEC plans, Program Protection Plans, SOPs, and security artifacts
-
Partner with program managers and government customers to support inspections and readiness
-
Contribute to RFP and proposal efforts for new opportunities
What We’re Looking For
-
Active Top Secret (TS) clearance required
-
U.S. Citizenship
-
4+ years supporting classified programs (SAP and/or SCI)
-
Hands-on experience with ICD 705, TEMPEST, NISPOM, and RMF
-
Experience standing up programs or facilities from scratch
-
Strong critical thinking and ability to navigate grey areas while staying compliant

Comfortable working in a dynamic, entrepreneurial security environment
Why This Role

High visibility and ownership

Broad scope beyond traditional prime contractor roles
-
Direct impact on business growth and contract success
