    • Stakeholder & Risk Management :

  • Serve as the primary interface between NIWC Atlantic, DoD leadership, and cybersecurity stakeholders.
  • Establish governance frameworks, risk management processes, and continuous tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs).

    • Ensure program deliverables meet cybersecurity compliance and regulatory requirements (e.g., NIST, DoD Instructions, RMF).

  • 10 years of experience leading cybersecurity, cloud, and data analytics programs within DoD, IC, or Federal agencies.
  • Expertise in cloud security architectures across AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and hybrid environments.

  • Experience with cybersecurity compliance frameworks, including DoD RMF, NIST 800-53, and DoD Zero Trust.
  • Proven ability to integrate cybersecurity, data analytics, and DevSecOps methodologies in an agile government setting.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to brief senior DoD stakeholders.
  • Minimum Secret Clearance with ability to obtain TS / SCI

    • Preferred
