About The Position

CyberSheath Services International LLC is a rapidly growing Managed Services Provider primarily focused on providing Cybersecurity services to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). We are excited to be expanding our staff due to our growth and are looking to add to our team! CyberSheath integrates compliance and threat mitigation efforts and eliminates redundant security practices that don’t improve and, in fact, may weaken an organization’s security posture. Our professionals tell clients where to stop spending, where to invest, and how to take what they are already doing and integrate it in a way that delivers improved security. Successful candidates for CyberSheath are self-motivated, think out of the box, work, and solve issues independently. Additionally, our most successful people are self-starters and willing to put on many hats in order to succeed. CyberSheath is fast-growing and seeks candidates who want to be part of our upward trajectory. JOB OVERVIEW As a technology-driven organization, we are looking for an HR Operations Specialist who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments. With at least 5 years of experience, you will play a critical role in scaling our culture, streamlining operations, and supporting our most valuable asset: our people. This role is a blend of strategic partnership and hands-on execution, ideal for someone who enjoys the "build" phase of a company. In this role, you aren’t just processing paperwork; you are helping to build the infrastructure of a growing company. You will have the ability to implement new ideas and the opportunity to influence the long-term talent strategy.
