Security Process Assurance Generalist

Are you seeking an exciting and unique opportunity to grow and support our national security? As a startup, we are offering a limited-time opportunity to be an equity owner in a pioneering new industry. Nooks is pioneering Classified Infrastructure-as-a-Service (CIaaS) to provide government and industry partners with the fastest, most efficient access to classified infrastructure. We are building a nationwide network of accredited classified spaces and systems, ensuring that the best technologies equip our nation's warfighters. At Nooks, we value innovation, collaboration, and a service-first mindset.

About The Role

We are seeking a highly analytical and experienced Security Process Assurance Generalist to serve as an internal consultant and driver of operational excellence across the US Space Force's classified security enterprise. This is a strategic role focused on analyzing, standardizing, and streamlining security workflows across all disciplines : Industrial, Personnel, Physical, and Information Security. The Generalist will ensure the USSF's classified infrastructure and services scale efficiently by translating complex security regulations (NISPOM, ICDs) into repeatable, auditable, and highly efficient processes. The ideal candidate blends deep security compliance knowledge with expertise in process improvement methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

1. Security Process Analysis and Design

  • Process Mapping : Conduct comprehensive process mapping and analysis across all security domains (e.g., clearance processing, SCIF accreditation, incident reporting, classified material control).
  • Efficiency Improvement : Identify operational inefficiencies, compliance gaps, and bottlenecks in existing security workflows.
  • Standardization : Design, implement, and standardize new, optimized security processes and procedures to enhance efficiency, reduce cycle time, and ensure consistent compliance across all USSF sites.
  • Methodology : Utilize process improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma principles) to enhance the security team's overall effectiveness while maintaining strict regulatory adherence.

2. Documentation and Assurance

  • Master SOP Suite : Lead the development, maintenance, and revision of the master suite of Security Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring a unified, consistent, and compliant framework for all security domains (PHYSEC, PERSEC, INFOSEC, INDUSEC).
  • Template Creation : Create and manage standardized security templates for required documentation, including DD-254s, Fixed Facility Checklists (FFCs), access rosters, and internal self-inspection reports.
  • Quality Control : Collaborate with the Security Compliance and Oversight SME to integrate process improvements into the internal self-inspection and auditing programs, focusing on quality assurance and continuous monitoring.
  • Root Cause Analysis : Lead post-incident analysis efforts to identify systemic root causes and implement corrective process actions to prevent future security violations or recurring incidents.
  • 3. Technology Integration and Metrics

  • Technology Evaluation : Evaluate and recommend technology solutions (e.g., workflow software, compliance tracking tools, security management systems) to automate manual security processes and enhance auditability.
  • System Optimization : Serve as a functional lead for the integration and optimization of security management systems (DISS / NBIS, NISS) and physical security systems (ACS / IDS) to improve data integrity and compliance reporting.
  • KPI Development : Develop and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics for security process efficiency, compliance status, and security team performance to measure the impact of improvement initiatives.
  • The Skillset

  • Experience : Minimum 7+ years of broad, hands-on experience in security, having worked across multiple security disciplines (PERSEC, PHYSEC, INFOSEC, INDUSEC).
  • Process Expertise : Proven experience in process improvement, standardization, or quality assurance roles within a highly regulated compliance environment.
  • Regulatory Expertise : Deep, practical knowledge of NISPOM / 32 CFR Part 117 and applicable Intelligence Community Directives (ICDs).
  • Clearance : Must possess and maintain an Active Top Secret (TS) / Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) eligibility security clearance. U.S. Citizenship is required.
  • Skills : Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into simplified, efficient, and user-friendly processes.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Certification : SPeD Certification, or experience with process improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
  • System Proficiency : Highly proficient with security management systems (DISS, NISS) and familiarity with enterprise software tools used for document control or workflow management.
  • Education : Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Security Management, Business Process, Quality Assurance).
  • This position is a strategic, enterprise-wide role that may require occasional travel to USSF facilities. This employment offer is contingent upon continued funding of the underlying government contract. Should the contract be modified, or terminated, or if funding is reduced or eliminated, the employer reserves the right to adjust or rescind the offer accordingly. Salary Range for all departments Salary Range $125,000 - $155,000 USD.
