PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

CISA's Stakeholder Engagement Division requires an integrated team to support council and sector governance, approximately 500 annual engagements, stakeholder coordination, policy and risk analysis, executive communications, records, and contract management. The work spans unclassified and classified environments and requires products that are accurate, accessible, compliant, and ready for government use.

POSITION SUMMARY

Provide senior subject-matter expertise at the intersection of critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, physical security, national risk, and stakeholder governance. This is a strategic-advisory role-not simply a senior project manager-and is expected to shape executive decisions and substantive CISA products.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Advise CISA leadership on emerging cyber and physical threats, critical-infrastructure risks, sector interdependencies, resilience, and national-security implications.
• Lead research and analysis of legislation, executive direction, federal policy, operational trends, and threat information affecting CISA stakeholders.
• Develop strategic studies, issue papers, white papers, research memoranda, recommendations, talking points, and executive briefing materials.
• Translate complex technical and policy topics into actionable options for senior government officials and external partners.
• Provide substantive guidance for council and sector engagement plans, agendas, working sessions, and rapid-response activities.
• Review analytical and executive products for factual accuracy, rigor, clarity, and alignment with DHS/CISA policy and style requirements.
• Identify cross-sector patterns, risks, dependencies, and opportunities; recommend operational or policy adjustments.
• Support classified engagements and produce accurate records or decision products while complying with security requirements.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of relevant professional experience, including demonstrated senior-level experience in critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, physical security, homeland security, national security, or a closely related field.
• Documented experience advising senior federal leaders and producing strategic research or policy products.
• Exceptional analytical judgment, writing, synthesis, and briefing skills.
• Ability to work across technical, policy, operational, and executive audiences.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior CISA, DHS, SRMA, sector-coordinating council, or federal advisory committee experience.
• Advanced degree or equivalent depth of specialized experience.
• Knowledge of federal critical-infrastructure risk-management frameworks and coordination mechanisms.
