What you need
- Active Top Secret/SCI clearance and U.S. citizenship; SAP eligibility a plus.
- Demonstrated experience as an ISSM (or a senior ISSO ready to step up) for classified networks under DCSA/NISP.
- Deep, hands-on RMF expertise — owning authorization packages (SSPs, POA&Ms) through ATO under NIST SP 800-53 and the DAAPM.
- Direct experience with DCSA authorization processes and interfacing with DCSA as the cognizant security agency.
- Strong project-management skills — planning, scheduling, and driving complex technical deployments to deadline.
- Experience with WAN or network authorization, ideally multi-tenant or enterprise-scale classified networks (e.g., SIPR).
Nice to have
- PMP or equivalent project-management certification.
- Experience authorizing or operating SIPR/JWICS or other DoD transport networks.
- Experience standing up and leading an ISSO team.
- Familiarity with eMASS and DCSA/NISP eMASS authorization workflows.
Worth weighing
- On-site role at deployment locations may limit flexibility.
- The position is currently an individual contributor but is expected to grow into a leadership role as the network scales.
- The job involves managing complex technical deployments under aggressive timelines, which may lead to high pressure.
- No specific salary benefits or bonuses mentioned beyond the salary range.
