The Senior Operations Facilitation Manager for Regional and State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Partnerships will serve as a strategic advisor and coordination lead across regional partners, state, local, tribal, and territorial organizations, government cybersecurity stakeholders, technical teams, and other operational partners.

The successful candidate will combine consulting, facilitation, and stakeholder-engagement skills with substantive experience in cyber threat intelligence, security operations center processes, cyber incident response, and intergovernmental cyber defense collaboration. This cyber operational grounding will enable the manager to assess partner needs, understand differences in organizational capabilities and constraints, and translate technical, policy, and operational considerations into coordinated plans and executive-level recommendations.

• Apply knowledge of cyber threat intelligence, security operations, incident response, and defensive coordination to regional and SLTT partnership activities.

• Engage operational cyber teams to identify capability gaps, information-sharing needs, escalation paths, and opportunities for coordinated defense.

• Translate threat, vulnerability, and incident information into clear implications and recommended actions for government, regional, and SLTT leaders.

• Lead strategic and operational coordination across regional partners, SLTT organizations, government cybersecurity stakeholders, technical teams, and other operational partners.

• Build trusted relationships with state, local, tribal, and territorial organizations, regional partners, and cross-functional cybersecurity stakeholders.

• Assess stakeholder needs, capabilities, constraints, and priorities to identify opportunities for improved alignment and collaboration.

• Design and facilitate meetings, working groups, workshops, planning sessions, exercises, and executive engagements.

• Develop options and recommendations that account for organizational authorities, governance structures, resources, and operational realities.

• Synthesize technical, policy, and stakeholder inputs into clear implications, options, and decisions for leadership.

• Prepare executive briefings, decision papers, talking points, strategic plans, roadmaps, and engagement materials.

• Translate policies, directives, and program priorities into initiatives, milestones, deliverables, and coordination mechanisms.

• Establish action-tracking and governance processes for decisions, risks, dependencies, commitments, and follow-up activities.

• Advise leadership on regional and SLTT needs, capability gaps, partnership opportunities, and implementation challenges.

• Support time-sensitive coordination by organizing stakeholders, clarifying responsibilities, and maintaining a shared understanding of priorities, risks, actions, and decision points.
