Job Description

Status:Active

Location:Hybrid – Arlington, VA

Schedule:Full-time | Core hours 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET

Focus Areas:Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM), Workflow Automation, Data Aggregation & Visualization, Enterprise Cybersecurity Architecture, Federal Information Assurance

At phia we hire talented and passionate people who are focused on collaborative, meaningful work, providing technical and operational subject matter expertise and support services to our partners and clients. phia is seeking a TS-cleared Senior Cyber Solutions Architect to modernize how federal cyber supply chain risk work gets done — translating manual, fragmented processes into automated, data-driven workflows that produce decision-ready products for senior government leaders.

You will combine deep subject matter expertise in cyber supply chain risk management with the architectural judgment to design (and in many cases help build) the platforms, data pipelines, and workflows that turn raw vendor risk inputs into a polished, consumable product. This role suits a seasoned cybersecurity professional who is equally comfortable defining architecture for others to implement and rolling up their sleeves to prototype the tooling themselves.

Your architecture decisions will shape how the federal government evaluates supply chain risk for years to come, and the platforms you help build will be used by senior decision-makers across the interagency. This role offers cross-agency visibility, exposure to senior federal leadership, and a natural trajectory toward Chief Architect or CTO-level work for technologists building in that direction.

• Modernize Manual Processes:Lead the redesign of manual vendor risk analysis and information sharing workflows into automated, data-driven processes that scale with mission demand.
• Architect Data & Workflow Platforms:Design (and where appropriate, help build) the data aggregation, processing, and presentation platforms that ingest vendor risk inputs from many sources and turn them into executive-ready decision products.
• Translate Risk to Technical Requirements:Convert vendor risk findings, policy requirements, and mission needs into platform requirements, data models, and workflow architectures engineers can build against.
• Senior Technical Advisory:Serve as the senior technical advisor for collaboration platforms and cross-enterprise solutions that support vendor risk assessment and cyber supply chain mission outcomes.
• Executive Advisory:Provide enterprise IT and systems ecosystem advisory to senior leadership, ensuring technical solutions align with federal authorities, acquisition security requirements, and cyber supply chain policy.
• Incident Response Coordination:Support incident response coordination involving third-party vendors and supply chain compromises, ensuring alignment across technical, operational, and governance functions.
• Executive Documentation:Develop executive-level documentation, dashboards, and decision packages that communicate vendor risk posture and support governance, investment, and acquisition decisions.
• Mission Resilience:Ensure technical solutions support long-term mission resilience, interoperability, and compliance with federal cybersecurity and supply chain risk management requirements.

• Builder–Architect: You sit comfortably on the spectrum between defining architecture and building it. You can write the blueprint, and you can prototype the tooling that proves the blueprint works.
• Cross-Domain Technologist:You operate at the intersection of cybersecurity, data and platform engineering, vendor risk management, and federal mission execution.
• Federal-Fluent:You have substantial experience supporting federal information communication technology and cyber supply chain risk management initiatives.
• Translator:You convert complex vendor risk analysis into executive-ready technical solutions,…
