Own the security program, not just a piece of it.

At API, our FSO isn't one name in a large security department. You'll be the person who runs our NISP program, working directly with DCSA, our sponsors, and leadership. The role has real authority and real visibility. Your judgment will shape how a growing defense contractor safeguards its people, programs, and protected information.

If you're an experienced FSO who wants ownership, takes pride in getting the details right, and catches the discrepancy before an inspector does, we want to talk to you.

• Write and maintain the Standard Practice Procedures (SPP), and set the security culture for the facility.

• Design and deliver security education and training to employees, customers, and sponsors.

• Conduct self-inspections, administrative inquiries, and incident investigations; generate and submit reports.
• Partner with our ISSM/ISSO through every phase of the RMF process, and review and approve contingency plans.
• Participate in the Insider Threat Committee, and oversee visits, access control, badging, and secure work area requirements.
• Manage safeguarding requirements for secure areas.
• Own and renew PO Box access annually, and send and retrieve documents and packages as needed.

What you bring

• An active Secret clearance, and eligibility for a higher clearance if needed
• Hands-on experience with NISPOM and government contracting security requirements
• 3–5 years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
