• Ensure full RMF lifecycle compliance —from initial categorization through continuous monitoring
• Managing and reviewing Automation Support for ATO packages, POA&Ms, and RMF documentation across portfolios
• Lead coordination with the portfolio cybersecurity manager
• Maintain standard operating procedures and governance for multi-system environments
• Ensure alignment with DoD cyber requirements
• Support cross-program improvements, risk mitigation strategies, and process automation
• Tracking program-specific needs and direct cyber resources to high-priority tasks
• Assessing organizational support tiers (Tier 1–3)
• Recommending improvements to tooling, dashboards, and vulnerability management workflows
• Support the enterprise cybersecurity strategy
• Providing mentorship, direction, and continuity planning for junior cybersecurity team members
• Ensuring audit readiness and alignment with DISA STIGs, Zero Trust objectives, and Army policy

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field; equivalent professional experience will be considered in lieu of a degree
• DoD 8140 IAM Level I certification required (e.g., CISSP, CISM, GSLC)
• DoD 8140 IAT Level II certification required (e.g., Sec+, SSCP, CCNA)
• U.S. Citizenship with an active or interim DoD Secret clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
• 4+ years of cybersecurity experience, including experience with the RMF
• Proven ability to manage the full RMF lifecycle across the cloud and reciprocity principles
• Familiarity with Continuous ATO, SecDevOps practices, and secure software development pipelines
• Strong understanding of software assurance cyber tools

Desired:

• Ability to apply cybersecurity principles, frameworks, and strategic insight to drive innovative solutions across complex DoD environments
• Familiarity with Army-specific RMF workflows and governance structures
• Experience supporting Edge use case deployments, RDT&E systems, and containerized environments within the DoD
