Saliense is hiring a Cybersecurity and Privacy Training Specialist in support of our team.
Job Description:
We are seeking a Cybersecurity and Privacy Training Specialist to join our team and help safeguard a federal agency by building a security-conscious culture. In this role, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of cybersecurity and privacy training—from identifying needs to developing and delivering compelling content that ensures the agency has a thorough understanding of essential security topics. This is an opportunity to directly impact the security posture of a large organization by empowering employees through education.
Responsibilities:
Identify critical training needs for various audiences, including IT staff, leadership, and general users. You will design, develop, and update a diverse training curriculum for both live (virtual) and on-demand formats, ensuring all materials are current and align with federal regulations. A key part of this is continuously improving our existing IT Security Role-Based Training and GRC tool training.
Develop engaging and informative training content on a variety of topics, such as building POA&Ms, security categorization, and creating reports from security tools. You will work closely with our Digital Media Services (DMS) team to transform approved training materials into 508-compliant eLearning and computer-based modules, which will be hosted on agency learning platforms.
Take ownership of monitoring and recording compliance-related metrics and data. You'll track training completion rates, assess the effectiveness of our programs, and prepare comprehensive reports for government approval, demonstrating the impact and value of our training initiatives.
Lead and facilitate live virtual training sessions on specific, high-priority topics as a subject matter expert, providing instruction on a wide range of subjects, including:
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tool usage (i.e. CSAM, RegScale, Archangel, etc.)
Risk Management Framework (RMF) principles and role-based training
Privacy policies and best practices
FedRAMP policy and requirements
Annual Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Specialized training for Information System Security Officers (ISSOs)
Other cybersecurity training as required to meet evolving threats and needs
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field
A minimum of 4 years of experience in developing and delivering cybersecurity, privacy, or IT-related training. Experience within a federal government or highly regulated environment is highly preferred.
One of the below certifications
• ISC2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
• ISACA Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
• ISC2 certified in Risk Governance, and Compliance (CGRC)
• CompTIA Security+
Strong understanding of federal cybersecurity policies, standards, and frameworks, including NIST Special Publications (e.g., RMF, FedRAMP). Familiarity with GRC tools is a significant plus.
Exceptional communication, presentation, and instructional design skills. Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand content for a non-technical audience.
You must be a collaborative, self-starter with a passion for continuous learning and improving security awareness across an organization.
