The Senior Industrial Security Specialist will lead a team responsible for implementing Personnel Security (PerSec) procedures and participate in executing these protocols. This role includes managing government databases, reviewing Standard Form 86 (SF-86) submissions, transmitting security clearance requests, and delivering briefings. Key responsibilities involve obtaining security clearance eligibility for designated personnel, facilitating access indoctrinations and debriefings, providing briefings for foreign travel, and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements under 32 CFR 117 and SEAD 3. The position also manages security awareness and training programs for personnel with security clearances and their managers. This role is remote; therefore, the employee must ensure reliable internet access and a private workspace or work from the local branch office. This is a remote role; however, candidates must be based in the Philadelphia, Conshohocken (PA), or Washington, DC areas. Serve as a trusted clearance expert and team leader, guiding junior specialists, owning complex cases, and ensuring the clearance program runs smoothly, accurately, and in full compliance. Make a visible impact every day by managing end‑to‑end clearance activity, partnering with government agencies and stakeholders, and helping managers across the organization understand and follow cleared‑program requirements.
