• Engage with external stakeholders to facilitate the coordination of interconnection requests and ensure that such requests are processed and approved in an efficient manner.
• Maintain current knowledge of system functions, security policies, technical security safeguards, and operational security measures.
• Manage, maintain, and execute the information security continuous monitoring plan.
• Keep records of all security‑related vulnerabilities POA&Ms and ensure that serious or unresolved violations are reported to the AO/DAO.
• Evaluate any changes to the system, its environment, and operational requirements that could impact security authorization.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field plus 4 years of related experience.
