The NSRO Office is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Information Technology (IT) Manager. Reporting to the Director of NSRO, the role will serve as an IT administrator and consultant for NSRO, with an emphasis on classified network enterprise systems and applications at all levels of classification. The IT Manager will serve as the primary interface for NSRO with stakeholders to ensure NSRO’s success, including external to NREL with DOE, the broader Intelligence Community (IC), and other national labs, and internally with Information Technology Services (ITS), Office of Lab Protection (OLP), and users of NREL classified systems.
Externally, the IT Manager will liaise with DOE or other IC stakeholders to understand evolving policies, procedures, and requirements for classified networks, whether enterprise or program-specific.
Internally, the role will serve as a classified information system expert who identifies and scopes technical needs and engages resources – at NREL and external to the lab to assist with classified information system design, build, commissioning and maintenance projects.
