MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT

Partner with the CTO Cyber Capability Team Lead to operationalize offerings and reusable assets (patterns, playbooks, delivery accelerators) across offensive/defensive cyber, OT/ICS, and platform/weapons domains; ensure artifacts are production-ready for repeated execution.
Collaborate across capability teams, solution architects, and program leadership to harmonize technical domains (infrastructure, cloud operations, systems engineering, software, AI/ML, DevSecOps, cybersecurity) and produce outcome‑centric deliveries.
Map mission requirements to Zero Trust controls, RMF control inheritance/reciprocity, and defense‑grade engineering practices across enterprise IT, edge/OT, and mission platforms; brief executives with concise, data‑driven narratives.
Contribute to learning‑forward capabilities and IRAD transitions, evaluating partner/emerging tech delivery performance, and measuring transition‑to‑program (T2P) outcomes to enhance the cyber portfolio.
Reports to: VP, Defense CTO Delivery Services.
Primary partnership: CTO Cyber Capability Team Lead (strategic alignment on offerings, delivery playbooks, and outcome metrics).
