From ransomware attacks to large-scale data breaches, California faces an increasingly complex cyber threat environment. If you are looking for a leadership role where you can make a meaningful impact on the security and resilience of California’s critical systems, consider joining Cal OES as part of the California Cybersecurity Integration Center (Cal-CSIC).

The Cal-CSIC works to reduce the likelihood and severity of cyber threats and attacks across the state by enhancing coordination, information sharing, and incident response among public and private partners. Within Cal-CSIC, the Mission Support Branch (MSB) provides the internal technology and administrative backbone that enables this mission to succeed. MSB’s core functions include cyber policy and strategy development, knowledge management, vendor and product support, partner onboarding and success, relationship management, IT and system engineering, IT project management, and metrics collection, reporting, and governance.

The Cybersecurity Solutions Manager (IT Manager I) provides leadership and oversight for technical strategies and solutions across multiple domains, with emphasis on Business Technology Management, System Engineering, and Software Engineering.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Supporting Cal-CSIC leadership in developing and implementing strategic plans and policies that advance the State’s cybersecurity mission.
• Coordinating workforce development, partner integration, vendor management, and IT engineering efforts in support of Cal-CSIC operations.
• Providing technical and project leadership for the design, development, and implementation of cybersecurity tools and services.
• Delivering technical and product support to the Cyber Operations and Cyber Threat Intelligence branches to strengthen California’s cyber threat awareness, reporting, and response capabilities.

If you are ready to lead innovative cybersecurity solutions that strengthen California’s defenses against emerging cyber threats, we encourage you to apply. In this role, you will help shape the technology, tools, and partnerships that support Cal-CSIC’s mission and enhance the state’s cyber resilience.
