Mission Assurance SME

The Opportunity:

As a Mission Assurance professional, you understand that protecting critical missions requires more than documenting assets and vulnerabilities. It requires connecting missions, functions, infrastructure, systems, threats, dependencies, and mitigation activities so leaders can understand risk and make informed decisions.

As a Mission Assurance Subject Matter Expert, you'll work alongside Mission Assurance practitioners, data professionals, application developers, and government leaders to design and implement a new capability for storing, managing, analyzing, and sharing Mission Assurance data. You'll help the team understand existing Mission Assurance processes, data standards, assessment methodologies, and workflows currently supported by systems such as the Mission Assurance Risk Management System (MARMS), Enterprise Mission Assurance Analysis Portal (eMAAP), Mission Assurance Decision Support System (MADSS), and Enterprise Protection Risk Management (EPRM).

You'll serve as the bridge between the Mission Assurance community and the technical development team. You'll translate policy, operational requirements, and user needs into data elements, business rules, system requirements, workflows, dashboards, and decision-support products. You'll help determine how the new application should represent missions, task-critical assets, dependencies, threats, hazards, vulnerabilities, risk, assessments, findings, and mitigation activities while preserving traceability to authoritative sources.

Work with us to modernize Mission Assurance data management and deliver a capability that strengthens the resilience of critical DoD missions.
