We work with the agencies, contractors, and mission-driven organizations that keep the nation safe, delivering the physical infrastructure that makes classified work possible. We’re growing fast, operating across multiple markets, and building a company that takes both the mission and the business seriously.\nAbout the Role\nEach Nooks site needs one person accountable for its technology and its security at once - that is this role. As IT/Cyber Manager, you will own the IT and cybersecurity function for a Nooks site end to end: keeping infrastructure running, executing the corporate cyber program locally, and bridging site operations and the broader Nooks network. This is a leadership seat with a player-coach reality - as comfortable briefing leadership on site risk as stepping into the server room during a critical failure. You will report to the Senior IT/Cyber Ops Manager under the VP of IT/Cyber and directly manage the site IT and Cyber Personnel. Nooks runs this seat at every classified site, so this description covers the role across all locations rather than any single facility.\nOwnership is defined, but a growing company moves fast: new systems come online, customers integrate, and priorities shift week to week. You will balance governance with hands-on execution and step in wherever the site's operations or security need you.\nKey Responsibilities\nRun the Site\nOwn the lifecycle of the site's IT infrastructure - hardware, software, and networks - for uptime, rigorous configuration management, and minimal downtime.\nManage the site IT/Cyber budget and third-party vendors, prioritizing the investments that most reduce risk.\nStep into hands-on troubleshooting during outages, migrations, and peak demand, where the player-coach expectation is real.\nSecure the Site\nEstablish and enforce the site's security protocols and incident response plans in line with Nooks' cyber program and federal frameworks - the Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST SP 800-53, Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 503, the Joint Special Access Program Implementation Guide (JSIG), and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency Assessment and Authorization Process Manual (DAAPM).\nLead local response to security events and outages, with disciplined communication to corporate and network cyber leadership.\nOwn the site's accreditation posture in execution, keeping systems inspection-ready and authorizations current alongside the cyber team.\nLead the Site Team\nDirectly manage the site's IT and Cyber personnel - setting priorities, holding accountability, and running performance management. \nGrow technical and leadership depth across the team so the site can staff new systems as it scales.\nModel the standards you hold the team to, balancing governance with execution.\nDeliver for Customers\nEnable customer integration into the site's classified infrastructure, onboarding tenants securely into the CIaaS model.\nBrief executive leadership and customers on site risk, readiness, and remediation in terms they can act on.\nLocalize and enforce Nooks' corporate IT and security policy at the site without weakening it.\nWhat Success Looks Like in This Role\nTwelve months in, your site runs on a stable IT foundation and a security posture that holds up to inspection without a fire drill. Incidents and outages are contained quickly, communicated clearly, and rarely repeat. Your IT and Cybersecurity personnel operate as a coordinated team that absorbs new systems as the site grows. Customers integrate smoothly and trust the environment they operate in, and leadership relies on you as the single accountable owner of the site's technology and risk.\nCross-Functional Expectations\nYou will work closely with the network cyber program and Nooks' corporate IT function to keep local execution aligned with company-wide standards, and with Operations on facility changes that touch accredited systems. You will partner with Security on protecting classified environments and with Growth and Solutions when new customers onboard into the site, and brief executive leadership directly on site risk and readiness.\nThe Skillset\n8+ years in IT and/or cybersecurity operations, including 3+ years managing technical teams.\nProven ability to implement and enforce IT and security policy in classified or otherwise regulated environments.\nWorking knowledge of the frameworks that govern classified systems - RMF, NIST SP 800-53, ICD 503, JSIG, and DAAPM.\nBroad technical grounding across networking, virtualization, identity and access management, and endpoint security, with the ability to go hands-on.\nExperience owning budgets, vendors, and technology lifecycles within a governance model.\nActive DoD 8140.03/8570.01 Information Assurance Manager (IAM) Level II certification (e.g., CISSP, CISM, or GSLC).\nBachelor's degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field - or equivalent experience.\nPreferred:\nIAM Level III certification.\nExperience delivering IT and security for customer-integration or managed-service environments.\nFamiliarity with IT service management (ITSM) and security-monitoring tooling for reporting operational health and compliance metrics.\nExperience standing up IT and cyber for new classified sites.\nEligibility & Clearance\nCandidates must be eligible to work in the United States and capable of maintaining eligibility up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) level within 45 days of hire.\nSalary Range for all departments\nSalary Range\n$175,000—$205,000 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":5805,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Information Security","Military","National Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T16:29:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":26,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.585,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":35,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":205000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nooks-it-cybersecurity-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nooks-it-cybersecurity-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T23:19:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4562,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":438,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3797787},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3797787"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnooks-it-cybersecurity-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnooks-it-cybersecurity-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnooks-it-cybersecurity-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nooks-it-cybersecurity-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnooks-it-cybersecurity-manager"}]}
