Lead ISSO / Technical Program Lead

Must be a United States citizen.
Must be eligible for a Tier 4 High-Risk Public Trust investigation.
Strong preference for a current or recently favorably adjudicated Tier 4 or Tier 5 investigation.

Role:

Serve as Chameleon’s single point of accountability for technical execution of the DFC ISSO program. The Lead ISSO will direct day-to-day work, assign systems and workstreams, oversee authorization packages, chair internal deliverable reviews, manage technical risks and issues, and represent Chameleon before the DFC ISSM, CISO, AO/AODR, System Owners, assessors, and cybersecurity governance bodies. This is a hands-on senior cybersecurity position.

It is not a purely administrative program manager role. The candidate must be capable of personally reviewing RMF artifacts, identifying technical and documentation defects, resolving conflicting security records, and defending recommendations before senior federal officials.

Minimum Requirements:

At least 10 years of progressively responsible cybersecurity experience.
At least 7 years supporting federal ISSO, information assurance, assessment and authorization, C&A, or RMF activities.
At least 3 years leading ISSOs, security control assessors, cybersecurity analysts, or authorization workstreams.
Led or materially directed authorization support for multiple systems or authorization boundaries concurrently.
Direct experience with NIST SP 800-37 and NIST SP 800-53.
Experience developing, reviewing, or approving:
- System Security Plans
- Security control implementation statements
- Security assessment plans and reports
- POA&M records
- Risk assessments
- Authorization decision packages
- Continuous Monitoring Plans
- Security impact analysis
Experience coordinating with Authorizing Officials, ISSMs, System Owners, Common Control Providers, assessors, privacy personnel, and technical remediation teams.
Experience overseeing deliverable quality before Government submission.
Strong executive briefing and federal technical-writing skills.
One senior cybersecurity certification:
- CISSP
- CISM
- CGRC, formerly CAP
- GSLC
Bachelor’s degree preferred. Extensive relevant federal RMF experience may substitute.

Competitive Differentiators:

Direct CSAM experience
Civilian federal agency FISMA experience
Responsibility for FISMA Moderate systems
Azure Government, Microsoft 365 GCC, or GCC High experience
FedRAMP customer-responsibility and inherited-control analysis
Experience with ServiceNow, Splunk, Tenable, Qualys, Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, Okta, Palo Alto, or Zscaler
Experience supporting Inspector General, GAO, OMB CyberStat, CISA, or independent security-control assessments
Current Tier 4 or Tier 5 suitability
CISSP plus CGRC
Experience managing 20 or more systems or several simultaneous authorization events
Experience producing executive cybersecurity dashboards and quarterly risk briefings

The resume must clearly identify:

Number and type of systems supported
FIPS 199 or comparable impact levels
Candidate’s authority and leadership responsibilities
RMF steps personally performed or directed
Authorization artifacts personally authored, reviewed, or approved for submission
GRC tools used
Number of ATOs, reauthorizations, assessments, or authorization packages supported
POA&M and continuous-monitoring responsibilities
Audit and assessment support
Quantifiable quality, schedule, closure, or acceptance results
