We are seeking a Cleared People Operations & Security Liaison to support our growing organization and classified programs. This role operates at the intersection of Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, and Personnel Security coordination, serving as a key liaison between internal teams and our outsourced Facility Security Officer (FSO).

The ideal candidate brings experience supporting cleared personnel lifecycle processes, strong stakeholder communication skills, and a proven ability to manage sensitive information in compliance‑driven environments. This is a non‑FSO role focused on coordination, tracking, and communication rather than formal security authority.

This position follows a hybrid work model, with two days per week onsite in our Tysons Corner, VA office and the remaining days remote.

• Review and evaluate technical resumes to ensure qualifications and experience align with customer requirements
• Verify employment eligibility, clearance status, and required documentation for candidates and new hires
• Partner with hiring stakeholders to ensure a smooth and compliant hiring experience
• Assist with workforce planning, requisitions, and operational recruiting needs

Security Coordination & Liaison Duties

• Liaison between HR, Talent Acquisition, program leadership, and the FSO
• Coordinate personnel security actions including onboarding, offboarding, access updates, and security indoctrinations
• Track clearance status, access approvals, expiration dates, and required actions
• Ensure timely communication and follow‑up with internal stakeholders and the FSO to support compliance with contract and program requirements
• Prepare clear written and verbal status updates for leadership related to personnel security activities
• Support audits or reviews by ensuring documentation is organized and readily available (under FSO direction)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Criminology, Business Administration, or a related field - or equivalent relevant experience
• 5+ years of experience supporting HR, recruiting, administrative, and/or personnel security functions in a Gov Con environment.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating personnel security processes (onboarding, offboarding, access tracking, clearance verification)
• Experience handling sensitive personnel data and PII with discretion and accuracy
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and HR/recruiting or workflow systems (preferably Paycom / iCIMS)

Clearance

• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance
• Active TS/SCI clearance is strongly preferred

• Active Top Secret / SCI clearance
• Experience supporting cleared programs within the federal contracting or intelligence community environment
