Description du poste

About Apollo

Apollo Information Systems is a cybersecurity services company delivering comprehensive security and compliance programs to organizations that need measurable protection without the burden of building it alone. Backed by a Series A investment led by Syn Ventures, Apollo is pioneering a cybersecurity-as-a-service model that replaces fragmented tools and episodic engagements with unified, outcome‑driven security programs.

Through Apollo Aegis - a subscription-based cybersecurity and compliance platform - and a full portfolio of managed security, advisory, assessment, incident response, and offensive security services, Apollo helps organizations reduce risk, simplify operations, and maintain continuous compliance. Apollo's primary markets include state and local government, K-12 and higher education, and mid‑market enterprises, with deep specialization in election security.

We foster a collaborative environment where deep cybersecurity expertise meets business acumen, enabling our professionals to solve complex security challenges while building lasting client partnerships. We primarily work remotely but have a hub in Denver.

The Program Manager owns the portfolio of Cybersecurity Services provided to the State of Texas and is the single point of accountability for delivery performance. Apollo is responsible for a continuously replenishing portfolio of assessments, advisory and incident engagements, and managed service onboardings, each with its own customer, schedule and acceptance criteria, governed by one set of contractual obligations and a single prime relationship. This is a customer‑facing, hands‑on program leadership role. Success is measured by engagements landing on time, deliverables accepted on first submission, clean financials, and a prime contractor who never has to ask Apollo where something stands.
