Cybersecurity Project Manager Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for a Project Manager II - Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) & Program Protection to join the Minuteman III Program Protection and Supply Chain Risk Management team. This position will support the identification, assessment, documentation, mitigation, and monitoring of supply chain and program protection risks across MMIII sustainment programs.
The selected candidate will work under the direction of the SCRM/Program Protection Program Manager and will be responsible for performing research, developing risk assessments, coordinating with technical and program stakeholders, supporting Program Protection activities, tracking mitigation actions, and developing products used to support program and government decision-making.
This role requires someone who is curious, organized, analytical, and comfortable working with incomplete or fragmented information. The successful candidate should be able to research an unfamiliar issue, determine what information is missing, work with the appropriate subject matter experts, and turn the information into a clear risk assessment or recommendation.
The position works across multiple functional organizations, including Program Protection, SCRM, program management, engineering, logistics, cybersecurity, intelligence, DMSMS, Supply Assurance Management (SAM), contracting, supplier management, and government stakeholders. The goal is not simply to identify supply chain concerns, but to understand how those concerns could affect the security, integrity, availability, reliability, and long-term sustainment of the MMIII weapon system.In This Job, You Will

• Conduct supplier, vendor, component, part, and supply-chain research to identify potential SCRM and Program Protection risks and vulnerabilities.
• Develop and support Vendor Health Assessments (VHAs) and other supplier, vendor, component, and part-level risk assessments using available commercial, government, program, and other approved information sources.
• Analyze potential risks involving foreign ownership, control or influence; foreign sourcing; geographic concentration; critical and strategic materials; critical minerals; single/sole-source suppliers; financial or operational instability; cybersecurity; counterfeit concerns; obsolescence/DMSMS; manufacturing dependencies; long lead times; and other supply-chain vulnerabilities.
• Evaluate available sustainment and supply data, including stock on hand, consumption history, lead times, sourcing limitations, supplier availability, procurement history, and supplier dependencies to help determine potential operational and sustainment impacts.
• Research geopolitical events, supplier disruptions, cyber incidents, natural disasters, regulatory or trade changes, material shortages, manufacturing disruptions, and other emerging issues to determine whether they could affect MMIII suppliers, materials, components, or sustainment activities.
• Support critical material and critical mineral assessments, including identifying dependencies on foreign sources, countries of concern, concentrated global production or processing, and vulnerable lower-tier suppliers.
• Support Program Protection reviews for new or modified components, suppliers, technical changes, contracts, task efforts, and other program activities to help determine applicable protection requirements.
• Assist in the development, review, and maintenance of applicable Program Protection and SCRM documentation, including Program Protection Plans (PPPs), SCRM plans, Program Protection Implementation Plans (PPIPs), Program Protection Assessments (PPAs), Memorandums for Record (MFRs), risk assessments, and related program artifacts, as applicable to the effort.
• Work with Program Protection, cybersecurity, engineering, intelligence, logistics, contracting, DMSMS, SAM, supplier management, program offices, and other subject matter experts to determine whether identified concerns require additional analysis, protection measures, mitigation, monitoring, or escalation.
• Develop clear and supportable risk statements describing the identified condition or threat, cause, potential consequence, likelihood, impact/severity, and recommended mitigation.
• Support and maintain the SCRM/Program Protection risk register, including documenting identified risks, risk owners, mitigation actions, preventative actions, contingency plans, due dates, status, supporting evidence, and closure criteria.
• Develop practical mitigation recommendations based on identified risks. Mitigation may include alternate sourcing, additional supplier qualification, increased inventory, supplier engagement, contractual protections, cybersecurity controls, technical changes, additional monitoring, or other appropriate risk treatments.
• Coordinate with responsible stakeholders to track mitigation activities and determine whether risk exposure has been reduced or additional action is necessary.
• Participate in IPT meetings, program reviews, SCRM and Program Protection working groups, supplier discussions, logistics meetings, engineering meetings, government/customer meetings, and other program forums as required.
• Prepare and present risk assessments, Vendor Health Assessments, leadership briefings, decision materials, meeting products, risk summaries, status reports, and recommendations for program and government stakeholders.
• Translate technical, supplier, intelligence-informed, logistics, and supply-chain information into concise products that clearly communicate what the risk is, why it matters, potential program impact, and what can be done about it.
• Independently manage assigned assessments and actions from initial identification through research, coordination, documentation, mitigation planning, reporting, and closure while seeking guidance when appropriate.
• Track assigned actions, suspense dates, stakeholder inputs, documentation, and mitigation activities to ensure work is completed accurately and on time.
• Maintain supporting evidence and documentation so SCRM and Program Protection assessments, decisions, recommendations, and mitigation actions are traceable, repeatable, and defensible.
• Identify gaps in available information and coordinate with appropriate organizations to obtain the data necessary to complete an assessment.
• Escalate significant or emerging risks when potential impacts require additional technical review, leadership awareness, government involvement, or program-level action.
• Assist with improving and standardizing SCRM and Program Protection processes, templates, assessment methodologies, continuity guides, trackers, risk documentation, and reporting products.
• Use Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, SharePoint, and other program-approved systems and analytical tools to perform research, manage data, document assessments, coordinate actions, and communicate results.

A successful candidate will be comfortable being given a problem that may not initially have a clear answer. They should be willing to research the issue, ask questions, work with subject matter experts, challenge assumptions when appropriate, identify gaps in available information, and develop a supportable recommendation.
This position is well suited for someone with experience in project management, cybersecurity, intelligence, logistics, supply chain, engineering support, business analysis, or defense programs who is interested in developing deeper expertise in Supply Chain Risk Management and Program Protection.
The individual should be able to grow from supporting assessments and program activities into independently managing assigned SCRM and Program Protection efforts, while recognizing when an issue requires escalation or additional technical expertise.
