What this job asks for AI summary

A Cybersecurity Lead role at a defense contractor's Fort Shafter, Hawaii site, contingent on contract award. The position owns the organization's overall security posture — including risk assessments, incident response, RMF compliance, and security architecture — while leading a team of cybersecurity professionals and interfacing with senior DoD/Army stakeholders. It suits an experienced security leader with deep DoD policy and RMF background and an active TS/SCI clearance.

Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $115,567 (middle half $94,115–$133,441). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

This role has genuine dual-SOC ambiguity: the posting describes both hands-on security analysis/architecture work (15-1212) and explicit people-management duties — leading a team, mentoring, vendor management — that could support 11-3021. 15-1212 was chosen as primary because the day-to-day duties lean heavily toward security analysis, risk assessment, and incident response rather than pure organizational management.

The position is explicitly contingent upon contract award.

IAM-III level certification is listed as a hard requirement; CISSP, CISM, and CEH appear under Preferred Qualifications as desirable but not required.

The 10-year experience requirement is tied to DoD/Army cybersecurity policy integration; the 5-year requirements cover RMF and program-level cybersecurity management separately.

'Cloud security' appears only under Preferred Qualifications with no specific platform named.

Occasional remote work is mentioned as an option, but the primary work location is on-site at Fort Shafter, HI — not a remote role.

Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
