This role includes developing and maintaining Immersive Labs simulation content, proctoring training sessions across approximately 70 agencies, documenting exercise outcomes, and assuming independent responsibility for simulation development following a transition period. The position requires a minimum of 4 years of hands-on cybersecurity incident response experience and expertise in developing realistic training scenarios.

  • Experience responding to common cyber incidents such as ransomware, phishing, credential compromise, data breaches, and third-party/vendor incidents.
  • Ability to apply real-world incident response experience to the development of realistic training scenarios.
  • Experience developing, supporting, or delivering cybersecurity training, simulations, or tabletop exercises.
  • Experience using cyber range or hands-on training platforms (e.g., Immersive Labs or similar).
  • Familiarity with incident response frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, MITRE ATT&CK).
  • Experience working with security logs, alerts, and technical artifacts (e.g., SIEM, EDR, network or cloud logs).
  • Experience supporting or proctoring live training sessions, simulations, or tabletop exercises.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple activities, and assume responsibilities quickly during a time-sensitive transition.
  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience.
 
Preferred Skills:
 
  • Direct experience developing content specifically within Immersive Labs.
  • Experience designing and delivering cyber tabletop exercises for executive, management, and technical audiences.
  • Experience supporting large-scale, multi-agency or enterprise training programs.
  • Prior experience working in government, public sector, or highly regulated environments.
  • Experience aligning training content to organizational policies, playbooks, and incident response plans.
  • Familiarity with cloud security incidents (e.g., identity, SaaS, IaaS/PaaS environments).
  • Experience incorporating lessons learned, after-action reports, or threat intelligence into training content.
  • Basic instructional design or adult learning experience.
  • Experience collecting training metrics and contributing to post-exercise reporting.
  • Relevant cybersecurity certifications (e.g., Security+, GCIH, GCED, CySA+, CISSP).
