- Ensure full compliance with federal and DoD guidelines, including NIST SP 800-53, RMF, ICDs, DoDI 8510.01, and agency-specific cybersecurity policies.
- Author both classified and unclassified materials using strict security handling procedures, version control, and proper dissemination protocols.
- Produce strategic executive communication materials, including intelligence summaries, cybersecurity posture updates, and risk assessments.
- Perform thorough quality assurance reviews to guarantee technical accuracy, clarity, and compliance with PMO and agency style guides.
- Mentor junior technical writers and contribute to organizational templates, documentation standards, and operational best practices.
- Assist in proposal efforts by drafting technical volumes, past performance narratives, and core cyber capability descriptions.
- Coordinate and select illustrative materials, such as technical diagrams, sketches, and visual charts, to support written documentation.
