SilencerCo • Kearns, UT

10d • Onsite

About The Position

SicoSyndicate is the shared services company behind SilencerCo, Zev Technologies, Unity Tactical, and other companies. We have a shared IT function that serves all businesses, and we are looking for the person who will drive security across all of them. You will be the subject matter expert for security and compliance company-wide, working under our Senior IT Manager and directly with our CTO. This is a hands-on role on a small team. Security and compliance are your center of gravity, and this will be your primary responsibility. The systems engineering half of the title is real as well: you will work alongside our core IT team on infrastructure, systems, and technology initiatives that extend beyond security. If you want a role where you spend all your time writing policy and never touch the systems it governs, this is not it. If you want to own a compliance program and stay technically sharp across the whole environment, keep reading.

Requirements

• 8 to 12 years in IT with meaningful depth in security and compliance
• Direct experience with at least one government contracting framework, ideally NIST SP 800-171 or CMMC
• Working knowledge of at least one commercial framework such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001
• A track record of running projects from kickoff through completion on committed timelines, including ones you identified and proposed yourself
• Strong general IT fundamentals: Windows and Linux Servers, Microsoft 365 administration, identity and access management, networking, and Windows and Mac endpoint management
• CompTIA Security+ or equivalent certification
• The judgment to know when a control needs to be enforced and when it needs to be adapted to how the business actually operates
• Clear written communication. You will be producing documentation that both auditors and executives read.

Nice To Haves

• CISA, CCSP, CySA+, or CMMC CCP
• Experience supporting a company through a CMMC assessment
• Manufacturing or regulated industry background
• Familiarity with ITAR or EAR export control requirements
• ERP exposure, particularly Odoo
• Cloud security experience in AWS and Azure

Responsibilities

• Lead readiness and ongoing compliance for CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 across our defense-adjacent business units
• Support SOC 2 and PCI DSS efforts, including evidence collection, control design, gap remediation, and audit coordination
• Own security and infrastructure projects end to end: scope them, build the plan, coordinate vendors and internal stakeholders, drive them to agreed timelines, and keep leadership informed on status and risk
• Administer and improve security tooling: endpoint protection, identity and access management, SIEM, MFA, email security, vulnerability management, and logging
• Run access reviews, security awareness training, phishing simulations, and incident response tabletop exercises
• Write and maintain the policies, procedures, and system security plans that our frameworks require, and make sure they reflect what we actually do
• Partner with business unit leaders on risk decisions, vendor reviews, and security questions from customers and partners
• Work alongside the core IT team on systems and infrastructure initiatives beyond security, including Microsoft 365/Entra ID and identity administration, server and network projects, endpoint management, and other technology work that supports all business units
