About the role

Redhorse transforms the way government uses data and technology.
Unlike a traditional corporate security role, this position is mission-embedded.
You will be the primary bridge between technical mission teams and government security authorities, ensuring that security protocols act as an enabler-not a barrier-to delivering innovative digital solutions.

Mission Integration: Serve as the primary security advisor to Government Program Managers (GPMs) and technical leads, ensuring security requirements are integrated into the earliest stages of mission planning.
Personnel Security (PERSEC) Acceleration: Manage the full lifecycle of mission-critical personnel security actions, including SCI processing and Full Scope Polygraph coordination, specifically tailored to the customer's priority mission sets.
Operational Security (OPSEC): Develop and implement mission-specific OPSEC plans to protect sensitive customer activities, methodologies, and technical implementations.
Contractual Security Advisory: Interpret and implement DD254 requirements for specific mission contracts, providing guidance on classification levels and handling instructions for unique mission data.
Incident Response & Reporting: Lead the investigation and reporting of security incidents within the customer's program space, coordinating closely with government oversight bodies to mitigate risks to national security.

Active Top Secret/SCI clearance with a Full Scope Polygraph (FSP) is required.
5+ years of experience in industrial or government security, with a focus on supporting embedded mission operations within the IC.
Deep expertise in IC security standards, specifically ICD 704, ICD 705, and the NISPOM Rule (32 CFR Part 117).
High proficiency in IC-specific systems: Detailed experience with Scattered Castles, DISS, and agency-specific security portals.
Exceptional Communication: Ability to brief and advise government executive leadership and senior technical staff on complex security risks.
Agile Problem Solving: Proven ability to find compliant solutions to complex security challenges that arise during technical mission execution.
Project Management Skills: Ability to track multiple moving parts of a mission security program simultaneously.
