Job Title: Senior Mission Assurance Lead (USSF) | The Guardian

Location: The Pentagon

You are an experienced Mission Assurance leader who understands that protecting critical missions requires more than identifying technical vulnerabilities. It requires understanding how systems, threats, dependencies, operational requirements, acquisition decisions, and programmatic risk come together to affect mission success.

You have spent your career working across complex Department of Defense (DoD) environments and know how to lead Mission Assurance efforts from both technical and programmatic perspectives. You understand how to assess mission-critical capabilities, identify vulnerabilities and dependencies, evaluate risk, and translate technical findings into actionable priorities for senior government leaders.

Just as importantly, you know how to operate alongside senior government stakeholders. You are comfortable serving as a trusted advisor, working side by side with government Mission Assurance leadership to organize priorities, drive initiatives, coordinate across organizations, and ensure actions move from assessment to execution.

You can move seamlessly between conversations with engineers, cyber professionals, intelligence analysts, operators, program managers, acquisition professionals, and senior leaders. You understand the technical details well enough to challenge assumptions and ask the right questions, while maintaining the programmatic perspective necessary to keep complex Mission Assurance efforts aligned with mission objectives.

The bottom line:
You are a senior Mission Assurance professional who can connect mission, threat, vulnerability, engineering, and programmatic risk to help government leaders turn that understanding into action.
