Job Description The Technical Report Writer and Documentation Specialist compiles and produces all client-facing deliverables for this engagement — from weekly status reports to final assessment reports covering seven service areas. You are not a passive editor. You work closely with the technical team during active phases, understand what was found, and translate findings into documents that serve two audiences: NNPS leadership who need to understand business risk, and NNPS IT staff who need to understand what to fix and how
Responsibilities Produce the final assessment report for each of the seven service areas, including executive summaries, technical findings, business impact analysis, and prioritized remediation guidance.
Write weekly or bi-weekly written status reports for NNPS detailing project progress, completed activities, and non-critical initial findings.
Format all deliverables for dual audiences — non-technical executive leadership and technical IT staff.
Maintain the master project timeline and Gantt chart, tracking milestones and flagging schedule deviations to the Project Manager.
Prepare briefing materials for the formal kick-off meeting, close-out meeting, and final report presentation.
Organize and package all final files and data for formal contract close-out handoff.
Collaborate actively with penetration testers, analysts, and the Project Manager throughout the engagement to ensure accuracy.
Requirements REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 3 or more years of technical writing experience in a cybersecurity, IT, or government contracting environment.
Demonstrated ability to translate technical security findings into clear language for non-technical audiences.
Experience producing formal deliverable reports, not just internal documentation.
Strong attention to detail — accuracy in findings documentation directly affects client remediation decisions.
Proficiency with Microsoft Word and standard project documentation tools.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Experience writing security assessment reports covering penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, or compliance findings.
Background in or exposure to NIST 800-53, FISMA, or comparable frameworks.
Experience working on government contracting or SLED (state, local, education) engagements.
Ability to produce Gantt charts and project timeline documentation.
