You'll serve as a Performer Cybersecurity Lead, helping clients to develop stakeholder management strategies, establish new business processes, and complete research and analysis to determine viable solutions. You will be responsible for managing incoming requirements, facilitating engagements within offices and across the Agency, and will be readily available to shift your focus to fulfill emerging client requests.
