Critical Communications Program Manager

The Opportunity: 

When our country’s cybersecurity is on the line, simply reacting is not enough, we need a plan. And when that plan needs to support the Department of Defense’s secure communications, we need strategic policy analysis. That’s why we need you, a strategic planning and policy specialist with the expertise required to guide a team analyzing the policies that determine our cyber resilience.

As a cyber strategic planning and policy analysis consultant on our team, you’ll oversee staff working on the assessment of the Department of Defense’s current cyber policies, the coverage of those policies, and areas of risks. You’ll evaluate how policies stack up to regulations, best practices, and industry standards. As you guide your client through understanding acceptable risk and availability, you’ll lead the team in the development of a strategic cyber roadmap. You’ll work with the client to ensure they operate securely as they navigate an evolving IT environment. 

Work with us as we secure the Department of Defense’s communication systems through strategic cyber policy analysis.
