Key Responsibilities

1. Transition and Access Reclamation

  • Lead the coordinated transfer of administrative access, accounts, credentials, repositories, infrastructure, and related technical assets from the outgoing vendor to Agency control.
  • Conduct a comprehensive audit of current access privileges, role assignments, authentication mechanisms, service accounts, and administrative controls.
  • Ensure all critical environments including cloud infrastructure, CI / CD pipelines, source code repositories, and operational consoles are configured so that the Agency holds ultimate administrative authority.

2. Governance and Control Framework Establishment

  • Develop and implement standardized procedures for access management, version control, release management, and operational governance.
  • Establish role-based access controls (RBAC) that comply with Agency security and compliance requirements.
  • Create and document processes for onboarding / offboarding vendor personnel, including access requests, approval workflows, and periodic access reviews.
  • 3. Vendor Transition Oversight

  • Serve as the Agency s technical liaison during the transition to the incoming application support vendor.
  • Validate that the incoming vendor receives appropriate but not excessive access consistent with the Agency s security policies.
  • Monitor and verify the outgoing vendor s deprovisioning from all systems and environments.
  • 4. Risk Mitigation and Security Assurance

  • Identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and operational risks resulting from legacy vendor-controlled practices.
  • Recommend and help implement remediation measures, such as rotating long-lived credentials, enforcing MFA, establishing logging and auditing practices, and improving environment segmentation.
  • Ensure that all changes align with Agency cybersecurity standards and best practices.
  • 5. Documentation and Knowledge Restoration

  • Reconstruct, update, and produce technical and operational documentation to re-establish institutional knowledge.
  • Document architecture, workflows, administrative procedures, and application lifecycle processes to support continuity and future oversight.
  • Provide briefings, reports, and knowledge transfer sessions to Agency IT and leadership as required.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience managing or supporting transitions of complex, mission-critical applications between vendors or organizational units.
  • Proven background in application governance, access control management, cloud infrastructure administration (AWS preferred), and secure DevOps / DevSecOps practices.
  • Experience working within or supporting public-sector agencies or regulated environments.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks, least-privilege principles, and operational risk management.
  • Ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders, including technical teams, IT security, business owners, and vendor personnel.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to prepare clear documentation, reports, and status updates suitable for executive audiences.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with the Mississippi Department of Employment Security Agency s mission, organizational structure, and operational workflows relevant to the supported application.
  • Prior experience working with or supporting the ReEmployMS program area for which the application was developed.
  • Knowledge of the historical development, scope, and functional requirements of the application and its stakeholder community
  • Experience ensuring appropriate balance between vendor access and Agency oversight.
  • Additional Expectations

  • Uphold strict confidentiality and security protocols.
  • Provide objective, Agency-first recommendations throughout the transition effort.
  • Ensure that all governance structures implemented are sustainable and can be maintained by Agency staff after contract completion.
