  • Engage and influence senior stakeholders, delivering executive-ready insights and performance dashboards.
  • Mentor and empower cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration, accountability, and high performance across engineering, cybersecurity, and operations.
  • Drive Agile and DevSecOps adoption, leveraging automation and cloud-native tools to accelerate secure delivery.
  • Produce high-quality documentation and reporting, ensuring transparency, compliance, and strategic alignment.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years leading IT, software engineering, or systems modernization programs with measurable success.
  • Proven record managing complex, compliance-driven IT programs in highly regulated or enterprise-grade environments.
  • Deep expertise in cybersecurity, risk management, and accreditation frameworks (RMF, NIST, ITIL).
  • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certifications: CISM, CISSP (or Associate), GSLC preferred.
  • CWF Certification
  • IAM III Certification
  • Agile/DevSecOps experience in cloud modernization and cybersecurity programs.
  • Familiarity with DoD 8570 standards and enterprise compliance environments.

Why Rackner & This Role Stand Out

Joining Rackner means making a measurable impact on high-stakes enterprise IT systems, operating at SME-level influence, and shaping the technical and strategic direction of complex modernization programs.

What You Gain:

  • Prestige & Impact: Lead programs that strengthen critical systems and influence enterprise-wide technical strategy.
  • Autonomy & Authority: Shape program outcomes, guide technical roadmaps, and influence high-level decisions.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
