Senior Cybersecurity Advisor – Federal (DoD / Intelligence / Civilian)   Location: Washington, DC–metro preferred (Remote – U.S.)   Clearance: Active TS/SCI (CI Poly preferred)   Citizenship: U.S. Citizen ( required for clearance eligibility)   About the Role   We are hiring a Senior Cybersecurity Advisor to guide mission-focused federal customers—including the DoD, Intelligence Community (IC), and Federal Civilian agencies—through secure architecture design, NIST‑aligned compliance, and rapid authorization (ATO) at enterprise scale. The role blends advisory leadership, hands‑on solution architecture, and compliance execution, and it partners closely with OEMs and internal delivery teams to translate mission requirements into secure, deployable outcomes.     You will lead customers through the full security lifecycle—from Zero Trust strategy and reference architectures to RMF implementation, continuous monitoring, and operational defense—while shaping SOWs and proposals that ensure delivery success.   Key Responsibilities   Advisory, Architecture & Delivery   Serve as the cybersecurity SME for DoD/IC/Fed programs, aligning solutions to NIST CSF, NIST SP 800‑53/53B, 800‑37 (RMF), 800‑171 (CUI), 800‑30 (risk), 800‑61 (IR), 800‑63 (digital identity), 800‑207 (Zero Trust), and related directives (FISMA, FedRAMP, CNSSI 1253, DoD 8510.01 RMF, JSIG/ICD 503, TIC 3.0, CMMC 2.0, EO 14028, OMB M‑21‑31/M‑22‑09).   Lead secure architecture and control implementation across on‑prem, cloud (e.g., Azure Government, AWS GovCloud), hybrid, and tactical edge; drive Zero Trust reference designs (identity, device, network, application/workload, data, visibility & analytics).   Translate mission and compliance requirements into engineer-ready designs, security test plans, acceptance criteria, and deployment runbooks.   Presales, Proposals & Statements of Work   Lead requirements discovery, solution shaping, and executive briefings; develop SOWs, PWS, LOEs/BOEs, and pricing inputs that balance risk, scope, and compliance needs.   Partner with OEMs and strategic cybersecurity vendors (e.g., platform security, SIEM/XDR/SOAR, EDR, ICAM/PAM, data security, vulnerability management, cloud security posture) to validate architectures and accelerate ATO.   Container/Kubernetes Security, SBOM/SCRM controls (e.g., NIST 800‑161).   Stakeholder Leadership & Enablement   Advise senior government stakeholders; simplify complex risk/compliance tradeoffs into clear go/no‑go decisions and roadmaps.   Mentor presales teams; contribute reusable artifacts, patterns, and playbooks to scale repeatable wins across programs.   Support capture teams with customer‑relevant win themes, discriminators, and compliant proposal responses.   Required Qualifications   10+ years securing systems for DoD, IC, or Federal Civilian programs, including direct experience with NIST RMF and NIST CSF in production environments.   Proven leadership delivering ATO/PA outcomes (e.g., DoD RMF, ICD 503/JSIG, FedRAMP, or agency‑specific overlays).   Hands‑on design and implementation across identity, endpoint, data, application, and network security; experience with Zero Trust architectures.   Demonstrated success in presales/solution architecture roles, including customer discovery, executive presentations, and SOW creation.   Excellence in written/oral communication; ability to influence SES/Flag‑level and contractor leadership.   Active TS/SCI (CI Poly preferred).   Preferred Qualifications & Certifications   CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CAP, PMP/PRINCE2, ITIL.   Vendor/platform certifications (e.g., Microsoft Security, AWS/Azure architecture, Zero Trust, PAM/ IDaaS , EDR/XDR, SIEM/SOAR).   Experience with SIPR/JWICS environments, SCIF constraints, cross‑domain solutions (CDS), and high‑side/low‑side data patterns.   Why Join Us   Shape cyber outcomes that directly protect national security missions.   Work across DoD, IC, and Civilian portfolios with high‑impact visibility.   Collaborate with a senior architecture community and strategic OEM partners.   Flexibility of a remote role with periodic on‑site customer engagement.   We make technology work so people can do great things.       CDW is a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
