• Serve as a program security advisor supporting multiple complex customer technology programs.
• Develop and implement security architectures across CUI, Collateral, SAP, SCI, and other classified environments.
• Analyze program objectives, critical technologies, threats, and applicable security policies to develop comprehensive protection strategies.
• Research and recommend short- and long-term program protection strategies for new, evolving, and transitioning programs.
• Balance security requirements with mission objectives, cost, schedule, acquisition, and technology transition considerations.
• Provide security expertise throughout the BAA process, including security requirements, Industry Day briefings, PARs, and facility/IT accreditation activities.
• Develop and maintain DD 254s, Program Security Documents, Program Protection Plans, and S&T Protection Plans.
• Apply subject matter expertise in EO 13526, NISPOM, DoD security policies, SAP security requirements, CUI, and DFARS requirements.
• Evaluate risks associated with foreign influence, foreign government talent programs, and conflicts of interest or commitment affecting customer research.
• Perform OPSEC analysis, identify critical program information, and develop appropriate protection strategies.
• Review materials for public release and advise on the presence and handling of CUI or classified information.
• Support international disclosure, information-sharing, and technology transition activities.
• Develop and deliver security briefings to customer leadership, technical teams, industry partners, and other stakeholders.
• Support SAPF, SCIF, AIS, and other security accreditation activities.
• Participate in program reviews, staff assistance visits, inspections, security meetings, and special projects.
• Support the mitigation and resolution of security incidents and program closeout activities.
• Communicate effectively across our customer’s offices and with government, industry, technical, and security leadership.
• Mentor and provide guidance to Security Assistants.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree and 10 years of related DoD or IC program security experience, or an associate degree with 8-10 years of related experience.
• Extensive experience supporting DoD and/or Intelligence Community program security environments.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage the security requirements of multiple complex programs.
• Strong expertise developing security architectures and program protection strategies for advanced technology programs.
• Broad knowledge of fundamental research, CUI, Collateral, SAP, SCI, and other sensitive information environments.
• Expertise in S&T protection planning, classification architectures, OPSEC, COMSEC, and sensitive test planning.
• Strong understanding of foreign influence risks and associated security considerations within U.S. research and technology environments.
• Expert knowledge of NISPOM, Executive Order 13526, DoD security policies, and SAP security requirements.
• Experience developing and maintaining DD 254s, Security Classification Guides, Program Protection Plans, Program Security Documents, and S&T Protection Plans.
• Strong analytical, risk-management, and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop practical security solutions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to advise PSOs, PMs, SETAs, Technical Office leadership, and industry/government partners.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently on special projects and high-priority assignments.
• Ability to prioritize competing workload demands across multiple programs.
• Demonstrated leadership ability and experience mentoring or advising other security professionals.
• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.
