Security Administrative Specialist Dev Ops & SysAdmin

Aptive is seeking an Security Administrative Specialist to support cradle to grave personnel security clearance processing requirements for new hires and current employees working on Federal contracts.

In this position, you’ll work with a variety of team members to ensure incoming and existing employees are able to obtain necessary security clearances. You will guide employees through various security processes for our Federal clients, including providing them with clear instructions, answering questions, requesting edits and corrections, coordinating online training requirements and tracking and reporting their progress through the security process.

You’ll also develop relationships with our partners, Federal clients and Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) to facilitate personnel security processing, delivering complete and error-free security clearance packages to the respective CORs and communicating additional requirements to the employees. This role will need you to manage employee security offboarding, which will include responsibilities such as collecting PIV badges or CACs and communicating transitions to CORs and other stakeholders.

To be successful in this position, a high attention to detail and a knack for communicating complicated and occasionally confusing information will be key. You’ll be encouraged to find avenues and platforms for automation and streamlining, so an ease with O365 is vital and an interest or familiarity with digital programs and platforms is preferred.
