Overview

We are seeking a Deputy Exercise Program Manager to join our team supporting the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)

The DEPM will support the Exercise Program Manager (EPM). The role of the DEPM will be performed by a mid-career emergency management professional with demonstrated acumen supporting an all-hazards exercise program aligned with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) standard. Professional experience collaborating within or across any national critical infrastructure sector is preferred. The EPM may delegate any functional responsibility to the DEPM, including planning and execution of integrated preparedness initiatives, any activity within the exercise cycle, internal and external support services, training systems development and delivery, tabletop exercise packages, human capital management, comprehensive stakeholder engagement, information management, and contract compliance. TekSynap is a fast-growing high-tech company that understands both the pace of technology today and the need to have a comprehensive well planned information management environment. "Technology moving at the speed of thought" embodies these principles - the need to nimbly utilize the best that information technology offers to meet the business needs of our Federal Government customers.

This program will provide full-spectrum exercise support services to CISA in accordance with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) guidelines. HSEEP defines two types of exercises: discussion-based and operations-based. Discussion-based exercises familiarize players with plans, policies, agreements, and procedures. Examples of these exercises are seminars, workshops, facilitated discussions, tabletop exercises (TTX) and games. Operations-based exercises validate the plans, policies, agreements, and procedures that were reviewed in the discussion-based exercises. Examples of operations-based exercises are drills, functional exercises (FE), and full-scale exercises (FSE).

We offer our full-time employees a competitive benefits package to include health, dental, vision, 401K, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability plans, vacation time and holidays.
