About Vector

Vector is a defense technology company built by warfighters and technologists committed to reshaping the future of national security. We integrate next-generation systems, enable forward-deployed innovation, and deliver operational capability with speed and precision.

As we scale our operations and implement secure, compliant infrastructure, we're looking for a full-time IT & Cybersecurity Compliance Lead to run our IT environment, support internal users, and help shape a secure foundation that supports long-term growth and government compliance.

We operate by three values :

  • Be Relentless : We pursue our objectives with unwavering determination and tenacity. We strive to do more and get better. If someone closes a door in our face, we breach through the wall.
  • Be Ethical : We work in a complex industry-never give anyone an opportunity to question our integrity. While we compete fiercely, we never break the law, violate regulations, or compromise our ethical standards.
  • Be Professional : We conduct ourselves with the highest standards of competence, responsibility, and respect in all interactions and tasks. Our customers look to us for the best training and equipment. We are the example for them.

Role Summary

The IT & Cybersecurity Compliance Lead will oversee the full spectrum of internal IT operations, including device and software management, new hire onboarding, and coordination of cybersecurity compliance initiatives in alignment with DoD and CMMC requirements.
