We’re seeking an experienced Facilities Security Officer (FSO) who can lead, design, and execute a comprehensive industrial security program for a classified “possessing” facility. This role will also serve as the Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO), responsible for developing and maintaining a proactive insider threat and awareness program.
You’ll be joining E-Space at a pivotal moment — helping establish our cleared operations from the ground up and ensuring compliance with the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), DoD 5220.22-M (NISPOM), and related directives.
What You'll Do:
- Stand up and manage a cleared possessing facility under the National Industrial Security Program a(NISP), including SCIF design, accreditation, and ongoing safeguarding operations.
- Serve as the primary liaison with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) and other government partners.
- Lead and maintain all personnel, facility, and information security clearances, documentation, and reporting.
- Develop and manage the Insider Threat Program, ensuring compliance with Executive Order 13587 and NISPOM requirements.
- Establish and maintain secure communication systems (classified and unclassified) and ensure compliance with TEMPEST and COMSEC protocols as applicable.
- Coordinate with IT, HR, Legal, and Engineering to integrate security controls across all functions and programs.
- Conduct and document self-inspections, audits, and vulnerability assessments; lead mitigation and continuous improvement efforts.
- Train and brief employees on security awareness, insider threat prevention, and reporting responsibilities.
- Support contract security requirements (DD254s, foreign ownership/control/influence mitigation, etc.).
- Partner with leadership to embed a security-first mindset into E-Space’s culture of innovation and responsibility.
What You Bring:
- Active U.S. Top Secret (TS) clearance (with SCI eligibility strongly preferred).
- 8+ years of experience in industrial security, including at least 3 years as an FSO for a possessing facility.
- Proven record of success establishing a new cleared facility, including working through initial sponsorship, construction, and DCSA accreditation.
- Certified FSO (CDSE) training completion; additional CDSE Insider Threat Program Management training strongly preferred.
- Deep understanding of NISPOM, ICD 705, DoDM 5205.07, and related directives.
- Experience managing classified information systems and working with Information System Security Managers (ISSMs).
- Exceptional attention to detail, communication, and problem-solving skills — with the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment.
- A proactive, mission-driven approach: you don’t just enforce compliance — you build secure systems that enable innovation.
