This position serves as a strategic bridge between business objectives and enterprise security architecture within a federally focused environment. You will act as a technical ISO stakeholder, providing security architecture and guidance to solution owners, primarily engaging with OCTO (AIA/Solution Architects) and Business Development teams. The role exists to ensure that new and existing technologies are assimilated securely, aligning with regulatory obligations, internal controls, and the company's broader security strategy.
In this capacity, you will translate complex security requirements, standards, and controls into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your day-to-day involves identifying architectural and solution-level security risks, collaborating with partners to define appropriate mitigating controls, and documenting security architecture decisions to support audit and assurance activities. You will also research emerging technologies to evaluate technical trends and foster strategic relationships with internal and external business partners to ensure technology solutions remain robust and compliant.
Candidates are encouraged to review the additional information section of the job requisition to determine clearance eligibility requirements prior to applying. The selection process includes a review of qualifications, followed by interviews focused on technical expertise in federal compliance frameworks and security architecture principles.
