Job description

Program Security Manager, US Amazon Dedicated Cloud

Job ID: 2890710 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading cloud provider, delivering virtualized infrastructure, storage, networking, messaging, and many other services to customers all over the world.

The AWS Security team is responsible for creating, implementing, and overseeing Amazon’s National Industrial Security Program (NISP). As a Security Program Manager supporting the AWS NISP, you will join a team of industry-leading security experts working with the U.S. Government to operate and continuously improve industry-leading security programs and processes in support of the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. This position requires innovative thinking balanced with a strong customer obsession and a focus on quality and delivering results. New position created to appropriately staff against customer requirements.

AWS Security is looking for an exceptional security leader with a strong track record of developing, supporting, and maintaining security programs within cleared facilities, demonstrable program/project management experience, comprehensive program security knowledge, and a deep understanding of government security programs, processes, and requirements.

As a Security Program Manager, responsible for directing industrial security-related activities, you will own the execution of multiple security disciplines in support of fast-moving classified operations and manage a wide array of projects designed to protect personnel, National Security Information, and critical infrastructure from insider and external threats. Your program management skills are required to be as sharp as your security expertise, as you will liaise with all of the AWS Air-Gapped community to ensure completion of security-related activities. You must obsess over internal and external customers and successfully deliver support and services in an environment where priorities shift extremely fast. You must be able to operate independently to manage security projects, continuously triage and prioritize accordingly, communicate clearly and compellingly (without PowerPoint), THINK BIG and outside the box, and deliver exceptional products. This position requires this Think Big leader to leverage an extensive network and be comfortable with communicating with senior customer and internal leaders (VPs).

This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.

Key job responsibilities
- Liaise with AWS Security and non-Security personnel to understand contract requirements and translate these requirements to actionable security activities.
- Host recurring and ad hoc meetings to ensure security program alignment.
- Propose solutions to security obstacles to senior leadership and track all actions and requirements in approved tools.
- Utilize program management skills to track internal and external meetings, RFIs, and action items. Through PM-style activities, this person will be ultimately responsible for ensuring the execution of all security activities to support the contract.
- Provide comprehensive program security guidance concerning personnel, physical, operational, technical, information, industrial, counterintelligence, and computer security issues.
- Create, implement, communicate, and manage security requirements at a large, government-accredited, multi-facility data center site while providing day-to-day multi-discipline program security operations support.
- Further develop and refine a security program of record that puts compliance at the forefront of all decision-making.
- Proactively identify program and physical security requirements, problems, and sound solutions to successfully sustain and enhance the security of program execution.
- Perform and/or support the operations and maintenance of security hardware and systems employed onsite to meet government and AWS security requirements.
- Develop and strengthen relationships with internal (operations staff, engineers, teammates, etc.) and external (vendors, contractors, government staff, etc.) partners to heighten security awareness and engagement.
- Must be willing to share on-call rotations in support of alarms, security incidents, and critical service outages.
