Cyber Project Manager & Engagement Lead (Defense Division)
About The Position
Apply your expertise to advance the mission and optimize our business strategy as a Cyber Engagement Lead within the Defense CTO Delivery Services Team. You will lead matrixed, cross-functional teams to deliver cyber modernization outcomes across the defense portfolio, partnering closely with the CTO Cyber Capability Team Lead to translate practice offerings into executable engagement plans and measurable customer value. You will lead and coach a matrixed cyber delivery team driving full-lifecycle engagements—from technical security assessment, mitigation strategy selection and through implementation—focused on Zero Trust principles, RMF-aligned architecture, OT/ICS security, and platform & weapons system cyber hardening. Transpose proposed solutions into actionable engagement plans with clear scope, milestones, and outcomes, including development and maintenance of Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), aligning delivery practices to ITIL 4, Cybersecurity best practices, DevSecOps solutions, and agile principles. 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.
