  • Lead IT risk management activities, including threat mitigation, business continuity planning, and adherence to federal cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., NIST SP 800-53, FISMA).
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders and NASA program staff to assess technology needs and ensure timely delivery of secure, reliable systems.
  • Present proposed system designs and technical solutions for review and approval by NASA stakeholders.
  • Oversee help desk, network operations, and cybersecurity activities to ensure responsiveness and quality user support.
  • Monitor and report on system performance, project milestones, budgets, and risk to internal leadership and government stakeholders.
  • Identify and resolve complex operational or system-level issues across hardware, software, and security domains.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and technology innovation within the IT team.
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 15 years of total IT experience, including a minimum of 8 years in an IT management or leadership role.
  • Demonstrated experience leading enterprise-level software development and system integration projects.
  • Proven success managing multi-disciplinary teams and large-scale, client-facing IT initiatives.
  • Strong background in system availability, reliability, security, and compliance within a federal environment.
  • Ability to obtain a NASA Public Trust clearance.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or related discipline (e.g., MIS, MBA with IT concentration).
  • Experience supporting NASA or other federal science agency programs.
  • Familiarity with research proposal systems (e.g., NSPIRES), peer review workflows, or government grant systems.
  • Certifications such as PMP, CISSP, CISM, or ITIL are highly desirable.
Why Join Us?
