Cybersecurity Project Manager

About the Role

This position supports delivery of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) CSOC-NG II Surge Support contract, with a primary focus on cloud security. The role provides high-level coordination and status reporting across multiple cybersecurity workstreams while leaving day-to-day execution to their respective leads. As Project Lead, you support the CSOC Surge Technical Lead by maintaining high-level visibility across all Surge Support workstreams and directly managing key cloud security initiatives.

You will work independently with a proactive, consultant mindset, coordinating schedules, facilitating meetings, tracking deliverables, identifying and escalating risks, and providing clear status reporting. The Technical Lead retains ownership of technical strategy and project direction, while the government customer retains decision-making authority.

Responsibilities

• Maintain a rolling, high-level status view across all Surge Support workstreams (VSS, CEMS, CSA/Purple Team, CTS, CIR, TTX, Cybersecurity Risk Register) by collecting updates from each workstream's lead.
• Work closely with the Purple Team lead to break down large or complex cloud adversarial emulation engagements into smaller, clearly scoped, sequenced units that align with government stakeholder bandwidth; help build and track the resulting engagement schedule.
• Support process improvement initiatives within CEMS that are specific to cloud security, partnering with the CEMS lead as needed.
• Coordinate with workstream leads (CTS, TTX, and others) on scheduling and dependencies.
• Schedule and facilitate regular project meetings; prepare agendas, capture notes/minutes, and track follow-up actions to closure.
• Proactively identify cloud security delivery risks, gaps, and next steps, and bring forward specific recommendations.
• Build and maintain trusted, credible working relationships with government team leads and division chiefs through reliability, follow-through, and consistent engagement.
• Present project status, progress, challenges, and recommended paths forward in meetings while fostering a collaborative and team-oriented atmosphere.
• Flag schedule or scope risk early, particularly where government stakeholder bandwidth is a constraint.
• Prepare and distribute status reports covering progress, challenges encountered, and proposed paths to resolution for Technical Lead review.
• Support non-technical risk and issue tracking: identifying and logging potential issues and proposing options.
• Collaborate with the Technical Lead regarding resistance, conflict, or performance concerns.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, Engineering, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum 5 years of experience in project management, preferably within federal cybersecurity or SOC environments; 10+ years preferred.
• Public Trust clearance required.
• Demonstrated experience operating as a supporting/coordinating project lead rather than the primary decision-making authority.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and drive work forward with minimal direction, in a consultant-style engagement model.

Skills

• Experience supporting federal cybersecurity, cloud security, or SOC programs.
• Cloud experience highly desired (AWS, Azure).
• Familiarity with cybersecurity technical services concepts (toolset/configuration review, security posture assessment) and adversarial emulation/purple team engagements is a plus.
• Experience developing and managing project plans, WBS, and status reporting, including tracking recurring/cadence-based deliverables.
• Experience coordinating across multiple task leads and technical teams without direct supervisory authority.
• Experience with non-technical risk identification and mitigation tracking.
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools: Microsoft SharePoint, Planner, Project, Teams, Jira, and ServiceNow.
• Familiarity with federal IT security regulations preferred.
• Consultant mindset: autonomous and self-directed, brings recommendations rather than waiting for instructions.
• Actively builds and sustains trust with government stakeholders through reliability and consistent follow-through.
• Skilled at breaking large, complex efforts into smaller, well-sequenced pieces for stakeholders with limited bandwidth.
• Strong organizational and scheduling discipline across concurrent workstreams.
• Comfortable operating in a support role, keeping the team moving without needing to be the final word.
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication, especially in status reporting and meeting facilitation.
• Sound judgment on when to escalate versus when to track and report.
• Strong analytical and conceptual thinking skills.
• Collaborative, team-focused working style.

Nice to Have

• CAPM-equivalent knowledge and experience required; PMP and/or Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) highly preferred.
• Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) desirable.
• Prior experience supporting a federal Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSSP) program.
• Experience with VA or other federal health/civilian agency contracts.
• Background in cloud security compliance (e.g., FedRAMP, Zero Trust).
• ITIL certification.

Benefits

• Traditional and HSA-eligible medical insurance plans.
• 100% employer-paid dental and vision insurance options.
• 100% employer-sponsored STD, LTD, and life insurance.
• 5% 401(k) company matching.
• Flexible schedules and teleworking options.
• Paid holidays and PTO accrual plans.
• Paid parental leave.
• Professional development and career growth opportunities.
• Team and company-wide events, recognition, and appreciation.
