About the role

The Technical Assessor conducts in-depth technical and program-level cybersecurity assessments of client environments, identifying risk, measuring control maturity, and producing clear, actionable guidance that advances each client's security posture.

Independently plan and lead hands-on cybersecurity assessments across enterprise, cloud, and public-sector environments - including election infrastructure at the county, city, and state level.
Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of technical controls spanning identity and access management, endpoint protection, patch and vulnerability management, secure configuration, network segmentation, data protection, logging/monitoring, and incident response.
Review and interpret technical configurations and artifacts - firewall rulesets, GPOs, hardening baselines, cloud security configurations, IAM policies, and logging setups - to validate control implementation.
Drive continuous improvement of Apollo's assessment methodologies, workbooks, tooling, and report templates.
Mentor junior assessors and perform peer review of assessment deliverables.
Collaborate with consultants, engineers, advisors, and project managers to deliver high-quality engagements.

Experience in cybersecurity, with demonstrable experience leading or performing security assessments (confirm threshold).
Strong working knowledge of security controls across operating systems, network infrastructure, cloud services, and identity systems.
Ability to independently review and assess technical configurations and documentation (firewall rules, GPOs, hardening baselines, logging setups, cloud configs).
Experience working with clients in a consulting capacity and managing multiple concurrent engagements.
Experience with security tooling - vulnerability scanners, SIEM/EDR platforms, and configuration analyzers.
Experience supporting public sector clients, election infrastructure, or regulated industries.
Required
Direct, hands-on experience assessing environments against one or more recognized frameworks (NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, or PCI DSS).
Preferred
One or more relevant certifications - e.g., Security+, CySA+, CISA, GIAC (e.g., GSEC), or assessor-specific credentials such as CMMC CCP/CCA.
Hands-on familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Azure (and exposure to AWS or GCP).
