Senior Cyber Solutions Architect — Supply Chain Risk/Automation

Phia LLC • Fairfax, VA, US, VA

12d • Hybrid

About The Position

At phia we hire talented and passionate people who are focused on collaborative, meaningful work, providing technical and operational subject matter expertise and support services to our partners and clients. phia is seeking a TS-cleared Senior Cyber Solutions Architect to modernize how federal cyber supply chain risk work gets done — translating manual, fragmented processes into automated, data-driven workflows that produce decision-ready products for senior government leaders. You will combine deep subject matter expertise in cyber supply chain risk management with the architectural judgment to design (and in many cases help build) the platforms, data pipelines, and workflows that turn raw vendor risk inputs into a polished, consumable product. This role suits a seasoned cybersecurity professional who is equally comfortable defining architecture for others to implement and rolling up their sleeves to prototype the tooling themselves.

Requirements

• Active TS security clearance and SCI eligible at time of proposal submission.
• Ability to obtain and maintain federal agency suitability (EOD).
• Bachelor’s degree required.
• 7+ years working within government organizations supporting cybersecurity risk management policy or programs — ideally with focus on Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), platform/workflow automation, or both.
• Demonstrated experience converting policy and mission requirements into technical architectures, and coordinating across multiple stakeholders to align on and execute unified plans.
• Advanced cybersecurity credentials such as CISSP — or equivalent demonstrated technical depth in data, automation, or platform engineering in federal environments — are aligned with the scope of this role.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with one or more automation and data tooling stacks used in federal environments: Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI), ServiceNow workflow development, SharePoint / SPFx, Python for data work, Azure data services, or comparable low-code/no-code platforms
• Experience designing or defining requirements for data aggregation, ETL, and visualization workflows that turn fragmented inputs into a polished, consumable product
• Familiarity with NIST SP 800-161 (C-SCRM) and related federal SCRM guidance
• Experience supporting interagency cyber supply chain risk management bodies or initiatives
• Degree in cybersecurity, computer science, data engineering, or a related field
• Active federal agency suitability already in place

Responsibilities

• Lead the redesign of manual vendor risk analysis and information sharing workflows into automated, data-driven processes that scale with mission demand.
• Design (and where appropriate, help build) the data aggregation, processing, and presentation platforms that ingest vendor risk inputs from many sources and turn them into executive-ready decision products.
• Convert vendor risk findings, policy requirements, and mission needs into platform requirements, data models, and workflow architectures engineers can build against.
• Serve as the senior technical advisor for collaboration platforms and cross-enterprise solutions that support vendor risk assessment and cyber supply chain mission outcomes.
• Provide enterprise IT and systems ecosystem advisory to senior leadership, ensuring technical solutions align with federal authorities, acquisition security requirements, and cyber supply chain policy.
• Support incident response coordination involving third-party vendors and supply chain compromises, ensuring alignment across technical, operational, and governance functions.
• Develop executive-level documentation, dashboards, and decision packages that communicate vendor risk posture and support governance, investment, and acquisition decisions.
• Ensure technical solutions support long-term mission resilience, interoperability, and compliance with federal cybersecurity and supply chain risk management requirements.
