Technical Cyber Lead Senior Manager

Leads an Accenture Federal Services defensive cyber programme for the Department of War, bringing a Defensive Cyberspace Operations analysis capability into service for maritime forces at sea and ashore. The senior manager heads a team of cybersecurity professionals and is the technical lead for inserting commercial sensors that give those networks layered attack sensing and warning.

The role runs the programme from procurement through integration, testing and deployment of the COTS sensors and supporting systems at Naval Exchange Point sites and labs. It leads technical interchange meetings, critical design and test readiness reviews and system integration testing, and owns the engineering artefacts, such as the system design document and technical data package, that MIL-STD and DoD standards require. It also oversees RMF compliance, vulnerability management and the handling of classified and CUI material, works with OEMs and resellers, and represents AFS with senior government stakeholders.

Candidates need ten to fifteen years in cybersecurity, including leadership of defensive cyber operations for the military or similar missions, experience managing large defence acquisition programmes, and hands-on knowledge of hardware deployed in contested or disconnected environments. Familiarity with NIST 800-53, DoDI 8510.01, zero trust and supply chain risk management is expected. A CISSP, US citizenship and an active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility are required, and prior military service is preferred.
