Description
The mission of the DHS Chief Information Security Officer Directorate (DHS CISOD) is to support the Department’s implementation of all applicable regulatory requirements—including the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), relevant OMB circulars, Executive Orders, Federal laws, directives, policies, and regulations—while providing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a secure and trusted computing environment. Information security is an essential business function, critical to enabling DHS to conduct its operations and deliver service to the public.
Leidos is seeking an experienced Technical Writer to join our team on a highly visible and strategic Cybersecurity Assessments contract. The technical writer will provide professional service support to our DHS customer.
Primary Responsibilities
Edit and format technical reports, SOPs, management directives, CONOPS, project plans, guides, and manuals to ensure clarity, consistency, and adherence to DHS HVA Assessment Program standards.
Provide quality assurance reviews to ensure documents are grammatically correct, technically accurate, logically structured, and consistent with contractual and customer expectations.
Incorporate visual aids (tables, charts, figures) into reports when necessary, ensuring consistency in design and formatting.
Basic Qualifications
Must be an independent thinker, capable of performing high quality work, both independently and with a team, in a fast-moving environment.
Preferred Qualifications
At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”
If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
