We are building our team in support of a major U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cybersecurity architecture and engineering program, and have an opportunity for a Configuration Management & Documentation Specialist / Tech Writer to support enterprise security architecture, engineering, and operations across VA's Office of Information Security (OIS).

LOCATION:
Remote / Contractor facility, with occasional coordination at VA Central Office (Washington, D.C.) and limited program-related travel as required
Position Description:
The Configuration Management & Documentation Specialist will own configuration management discipline and technical documentation quality across the program — maintaining the configuration management database, overseeing change management processes, and producing clear, accurate technical documentation of system configurations and program processes to support audit readiness and knowledge continuity.
Position Requirements:
-
5+ years of IT experience, including 3+ years focused on configuration management or technical editing at a large corporation or federal agency of comparable scale. A Master's degree in a related IT field may substitute for up to 2 years of the required experience.
-
Experience overseeing and maintaining configuration items, including hardware, software, documentation, and other deliverables.

Experience documenting technical processes, system configurations, and change management procedures.
-
Familiarity with IT service management (ITSM) frameworks and best practices (e.g., ITIL), and experience maintaining a centralized configuration management database (CMDB).

-
A current certification satisfying DoD 8570/8140 workforce requirements at IAT Level III, IAM Level III, or IASAE Level III. IAT, IAM, and IASAE are qualification levels, not certifications in themselves — each level is satisfied by an approved certification such as CISSP, CASP+ CE, CISA, CISM, CCISO, GCIH, or CSSLP, depending on the level and category.
Desired Certifications:
-
ITIL Foundation
-
Certified technical writing credential or equivalent documentation experience
