Cybersecurity Program Manager

• This position is contingent upon a future opening with Gunnison.

Salary: $150,000 - $165,000/year

• Serve as primary interface with the CIT COR and CISO, providing program-level reporting (Weekly Program Report, Weekly Resource Utilization and Milestone Report, Monthly Program Report, and invoicing).
• Lead Cybersecurity Governance activities: coordinate, schedule, and facilitate weekly meetings with CIT Service Areas on remediation status, cybersecurity project status, and compliance issues, including developing agendas, tracking action items, capturing risks, building project schedules, and maintaining a lessons-learned/best-practices repository.
• Support OCIO working groups and represent the contractor team in cross-agency cybersecurity coordination.
• Provide Strategic Support: monitor performance against the ISP Strategic Plan, contribute to the Annual ISP Strategic Plan, and deliver quarterly recommendations to CIT leadership.
• Own Program Support tasks including Strategic Initiatives Support and administration of the ISP SharePoint site (content lifecycle, access/permissions management, organizing by subject matter/audience).
• Manage Special Projects/Optional Tasks and coordinate surge labor staffing as directed by the Government.
• Supervise contract personnel directly — day-to-day work assignments, performance monitoring, coverage, payroll records, and leave approval (the SOW explicitly states contract staff cannot be supervised by CIT government managers, so this falls to the contractor PM/Team Lead).
• Manage Standard Operating Procedures and Enterprise Templates, and ensure all Task Area 1 deliverables meet quality standards, correcting non-conforming deliverables.
• Propose and manage Service Level Agreements (SLAs) governing cybersecurity support services, subject to Government review/approval.
