Job Description

The Technical Report Writer and Documentation Specialist compiles and produces all client-facing deliverables for this engagement — from weekly status reports to final assessment reports covering seven service areas. You are not a passive editor. You work closely with the technical team during active phases, understand what was found, and translate findings into documents that serve two audiences: NNPS leadership who need to understand business risk, and NNPS IT staff who need to understand what to fix and how

Responsibilities

• Produce the final assessment report for each of the seven service areas, including executive summaries, technical findings, business impact analysis, and prioritized remediation guidance.


• Write weekly or bi-weekly written status reports for NNPS detailing project progress, completed activities, and non-critical initial findings.


• Format all deliverables for dual audiences — non-technical executive leadership and technical IT staff.


• Maintain the master project timeline and Gantt chart, tracking milestones and flagging schedule deviations to the Project Manager.


• Prepare briefing materials for the formal kick-off meeting, close-out meeting, and final report presentation.


• Organize and package all final files and data for formal contract close-out handoff.


• Collaborate actively with penetration testers, analysts, and the Project Manager throughout the engagement to ensure accuracy.

Requirements
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3 or more years of technical writing experience in a cybersecurity, IT, or government contracting environment.


• Demonstrated ability to translate technical security findings into clear language for non-technical audiences.


• Experience producing formal deliverable reports, not just internal documentation.


• Strong attention to detail — accuracy in findings documentation directly affects client remediation decisions.


• Proficiency with Microsoft Word and standard project documentation tools.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience writing security assessment reports covering penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, or compliance findings.


• Background in or exposure to NIST 800-53, FISMA, or comparable frameworks.


• Experience working on government contracting or SLED (state, local, education) engagements.


• Ability to produce Gantt charts and project timeline documentation.
