We pride ourselves on fostering a culture of excellence, diversity, and continuous improvement, where self-starters thrive in independent, high-impact environments.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Information Security Consultant to lead our team of Assessors in conducting rigorous technical testing of security controls. In this 100% on-site role, you will leverage your deep understanding of IC/DOD Risk Management Frameworks (RMF), continuous monitoring, and risk scoring to drive program success.

This position is designed for a self-starter who can quickly grasp a customer's mission and impact managerial practices. You will work closely with senior client members to align program direction and strategy while mentoring junior Security Control Assessors.
