Special Security Representative / ISSM at JCTM – Cherry Point, North Carolina

The Challenge

Security management is a fundamental pillar of intelligence operations. Every cleared position within the Department of Defense (DoD) depends on the efficient and effective execution of Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), Special Access Program (SAP), and information systems security functions.

In this hybrid role, you will provide security office services and security management functions across physical, personnel, information, and information systems security disciplines. Your work will help ensure compliance with Intelligence Community (IC), DoD, and Department of the Navy (DoN) standards while protecting classified operations, facilities, and systems that directly support national security missions.

This position requires the ability to manage multiple complex tasks with sound judgment, attention to detail, and a practical risk-based approach. You will work independently and collaboratively with leadership, security personnel, and technical stakeholders to ensure both facility and system-level security requirements are implemented effectively.
