Manager, Cybersecurity Operations (Las Vegas)

I’m partnering with a long-established utility provider to hire a Manager of Cybersecurity Operations. This is the kind of role where the work actually matters — you’re protecting the systems and people behind essential services our communities rely on.

If you’re a cyber leader who can run incident response, think like an attacker, and build a modern defense program that actually works in the real world… keep reading.

What you’ll own (no fluff)

• Build and run the cyber defense game plan (proactive + responsive) aligned to broader InfoSec strategy.
• Lead the team (up to ~7 exempt + ~4 non-exempt) across offensive/defensive practices, detection, and response.
• Drive detection + response maturity using threat intel, repeatable playbooks, and continuous improvement.
• Run investigations (internal/external) tied to security events and guide recovery with calm, clear communication.
• Oversee the security stack (implementation, configuration, monitoring, vendor services) with a “measure twice, act fast” mindset.
• Keep things compliant and defensible with frameworks/standards like NIST, MITRE, ISO 27001 (and similar).
• Partner cross-functionally (engineering, IT, leadership) to automate analysis/containment/remediation.
• Manage vendors + budgets (O&M and capital planning, contracts, performance against terms).
• Lead and develop people (coaching, performance, growth, accountability).

What we’re looking for

• 10+ years in cybersecurity, including leading offensive teams and/or directing incident response.
• VERY Strong Offensive experience - Hacking, Attack, Pen Testing
• Deep hands-on knowledge of EDR, CDR, and SIEM.
• Strong cloud security background, especially Azure + AWS.
• Bachelor’s in CS/Cybersecurity preferred (or equivalent experience).
• Certifications in penetration testing and incident handling are a plus (not a dealbreaker if you’ve got the real-world track record).

Why this role stands out

• Real impact: you’re protecting critical infrastructure and the people behind it.
• Autonomy + visibility: you’ll work closely with senior leaders and key partners.
• Room to level-up the program: not just “keep the lights on” — evolve the defense.

Location + Salary

• Las Vegas
• Base salary range: $123,526 – $185,339

The process (agency-led, transparent, supportive)

Yes — this is through an agency (me). That’s intentional: you’ll get prep, context, transparency, and consistent communication throughout.

No guessing games, no ghosting, no “mystery steps.” If it’s not the right fit, I’ll tell you straight.

$160,000–$240,000 base salary, a built-in client pipeline, and the chance to practice estate law without the traditional billable-hour grind.

About the Company

The System Test and Evaluation Engineer is a critical role responsible for the end-to-end validation of the complex, multi-vendor Joint Simulation Environment (JSE). This individual will ensure the stability, performance, and operational readiness of the entire technology stack, from the physical hardware layer to the application services. The Test and Evaluation Engineer will not only execute tests but will be responsible for architecting the test strategy itself, developing all required documentation and artifacts from the ground up to create a repeatable, high-assurance validation process.

Responsibilities

• Test Architecture & Development: Author and maintain comprehensive, from-scratch system test plans, detailed test procedures, and execution checklists that cover the full scope of the JSE architecture.
• End-to-End Test Execution: Perform hands-on validation of the entire system, systematically verifying each architectural block to isolate faults and ensure proper integration.
• Systematic Validation:
• Physical Layer (Layer 0/1): Validate that all hardware components (servers, switches, storage arrays) power on correctly, pass their Power-On Self Tests (POST), and establish stable physical data links.
• Network Fabric (Layer 2/3): Verify that the network infrastructure functions as designed, including proper switch uplinks, VLAN segmentation, firewall policy enforcement, and the correct operation of network services like DHCP.
• Storage Subsystems: Test and validate the functionality of bulk storage arrays (e.g., Dell PowerStore, NetApp appliances) from both a back-end management and front-end data presentation (NFS/iSCSI) perspective.
• Operating Systems: Validate the correct installation, configuration, and security hardening of server operating systems, including Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 8/9).
• Virtualization & Compute: Confirm that stateful hypervisor systems are performing correctly. Validate the deployment and functionality of VMware vSphere environments. Test the ability of stateless, diskless compute systems to successfully pull OS images from network storage as advertised.
• Documentation & Reporting: Meticulously record all test outcomes, documenting deltas from expected results, and gathering all necessary log files and screenshots to serve as test artifacts.
• Stakeholder Communication: Translate complex technical findings, test results, and system behaviors into clear, concise, and understandable information for less technical decision-makers and stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Ability to obtain and maintain DoD TS/SCI and Active or must be eligible for SAP (Special Access Program) clearance.
• 5 years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 3 years relevant experience with Masters in related field; 0 years experience with PhD or Juris Doctorate in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 9 years relevant experience.
• Experience: 5 years of experience in systems integration and testing.

Required Skills

• Demonstrated experience in testing complex, multi-vendor, integrated IT systems.
• Deep, hands-on knowledge across the entire technology stack, including:
• Operating Systems: Strong proficiency in the administration and testing of Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 8/9) environments.
• Virtualization Platforms: In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with VMware vSphere, including ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, and virtual networking.
• Physical Layer Validation: Verifying system POST, hardware health (e.g., iDRAC/IPMI), and Layer 1 network connectivity.
• Network Infrastructure: Strong understanding of Layer 2 (VLANs, trunking) and Layer 3 (IP routing, firewall policies). Experience verifying network services like DHCP.
• Storage Systems: Experience with both SAN (iSCSI) and NAS (NFS) protocols. Familiarity with enterprise storage platforms is essential.
• Stateless & Network-Based Deployment: A firm grasp of PXE boot workflows, TFTP, and the processes for deploying diskless compute nodes.
• Proven ability to author high-quality technical documentation, including test plans and procedures, from scratch.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a verifiable ability to brief non-technical leadership on complex technical subjects.
• A self-starting, architectural mindset capable of independently analyzing a system, identifying test requirements, and executing a comprehensive validation strategy.

Preferred Skills

• Aviation background
• Engineering degree

Pay range and compensation package

Compensation: $55/hr to $57/hr. Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
