Job description

Description

TEKsystems is seeking a Sr. Security Manager to join our team. The Sr. Security Manager’s role is to lead the enterprise industrial security function across a portfolio of cleared Government contracting companies, including Facility Security Officer (FSO), Insider Threat Program Official (ITPSO), and Key Management Personnel (KMP) responsibilities.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, develop, and manage the industrial security team, including workload, priorities, cross-training, performance expectations, and professional development.
• Serve as designated FSO for assigned cleared entities and supervise implementation of applicable requirements under 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM) and related U.S. Government security requirements.
• Serve as ITPSO for assigned cleared entities and oversee execution of required insider threat program activities, training, coordination, documentation, and reporting.
• Serve as KMP for assigned cleared entities and maintain required clearance eligibility, training, briefings, and documentation.
• Maintain effective relationships with DCSA and coordinate reviews, assessments, inquiries, corrective actions, facility clearance actions, KMP changes, and other required submissions.
• Oversee personnel security administration, access eligibility records, required security briefings, security incident and reportable activity processing, and related Government systems including NISS, DISS, and NBIS.
• Conduct or oversee required annual self-inspections, track corrective actions, and provide the SMO and executive leadership with clear visibility into material security risks and open actions.
• Review and support implementation of DD Form 254 requirements and other classified contract security requirements.
• Establish consistent security processes and controls across cleared companies while accounting for entity-specific requirements and contract conditions.
• Maintain documented procedures, cross-training, succession capability, and continuity arrangements that reduce key-person dependency.
• Partner with Legal, Contracts, Human Resources, Information Technology, cybersecurity, operations, and executive leadership on security matters affecting cleared operations.
• Support integration of newly acquired, newly formed, or newly cleared entities into the enterprise security operating model.
• Manage third-party or shared security support, when used, while retaining appropriate internal oversight and accountability for assigned FSO and ITPSO responsibilities

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years of progressively responsible industrial security experience within U.S. Government contracting organizations.
• Significant hands‑on experience performing FSO responsibilities under the NISP.
• Demonstrated experience with personnel security, facility clearances, DCSA interactions, classified contract requirements, and security self‑inspections
• Demonstrated experience leading, developing, and managing security personnel.
• Strong working knowledge of 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM) and applicable DCSA requirements.
• Working experience with NISS, DISS, NBIS, and related industrial security systems and processes.
• Current Top Secret security clearance and ability to maintain Top Secret eligibility.
• Ability to satisfy applicable FSO, ITPSO, and KMP requirements and maintain required training and eligibility

This is a leadership role, not solely a transactional FSO position. Success requires a security leader who can build a resilient team, maintain disciplined NISP compliance, identify capacity and control risks early, and provide practical security support to a growing portfolio of cleared Government contracting companies.
