Naval Cyber Governance and Policy Lead

Naval Cyber Governance and Policy Lead

The Opportunity: 

When a Navy organization’s cyber readiness underpins mission success, reacting is never enough—we need disciplined planning, strategic governance, and tightly aligned execution. Ensuring unity of effort across engineering, acquisition, and governance communities requires a leader who can coordinate, track, and drive cybersecurity actions with precision. That’s why we need you: a cyber governance and policy specialist with the expertise to synthesize inputs, guide strategic decision making, and mature an enterprise level cybersecurity framework. 

As a Lead cyber strategic planning and policy development specialist on our team, you will lead the assessment of cyber governance structures and policies, ensuring they align with mission objectives and evolving operational environments. You’ll evaluate how existing policies measure against mission needs, best practices, and industry standards, identifying areas of risk that require targeted action. You’ll coordinate cross functional cyber activities, prepare leadership decision materials, refine policy direction, and transform technical and programmatic insights into actionable, defendable governance artifacts. 

You’ll operate mostly independently, taking full ownership of deadlines, stakeholder engagement, and the execution of cybersecurity related tasks. Your ability to translate ambiguity into structured processes, recommend actionable paths forward, and maintain alignment across engineers, analysts, logisticians, and leadership will be essential as you help mature a rapidly evolving mission environment. 

Work with us as we secure critical missions through strategic cyber planning, policy development, and disciplined governance.

Join us. The world can't wait.
