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 technology solutions not only drive innovation but also adhere to rigorous regulatory requirements and internal controls.
In this capacity, you will translate complex security standards into actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your day-to-day involves assessing business strategies to determine security requirements, conducting vulnerability analyses, and overseeing projects through implementation. You will collaborate with internal and external partners to identify architectural risks, define mitigating controls, and document security decisions to support audit and assurance activities. A key part of your mission is to foster strategic relationships and ensure that emerging technologies are assimilated securely into the enterprise architecture.
Candidates must refer to the additional information section of the job requisition to determine specific clearance eligibility requirements. The application process includes standard assessments and interviews designed to evaluate technical expertise in federal compliance frameworks and security architecture principles.
