The newly posted positions span executive leadership, procurement oversight, cyber operations, human capital management, and infrastructure security coordination roles within the Department of Homeland Security agency.

Among the highest-profile openings is the position of Chief Acquisition Executive, located in Arlington County, Virginia, within the Office of the Chief Acquisition Executive. The permanent full-time position carries a starting salary of $151,661 annually under the ES pay scale and remains open from April 27, 2026, through May 11, 2026.

These coordinators often serve as liaison personnel between federal cybersecurity operations and state-level emergency management agencies, critical infrastructure operators, election system officials, energy providers, and local government entities.

CISA also posted openings for Protective Security Advisors under the Integrated Operations Division. These positions, ranging from GS-13 to GS-14 pay grades, begin at $90,925 annually and focus heavily on critical infrastructure risk assessment, physical security coordination, vulnerability analysis, and regional threat mitigation operations tied to both cyber and physical infrastructure protection.

Inside the agency’s acquisition and procurement branch, CISA announced hiring for a Supervisory Procurement Analyst under the Office of the Chief Acquisition Executive. The GS-15 position begins at $169,279 annually and reflects continued federal emphasis on acquisition oversight, contract management, technology procurement, operational auditing, and federal spending accountability surrounding cybersecurity and infrastructure programs.

One of the agency’s most senior operational openings is the position of Deputy Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security, located within CISA’s Infrastructure Security Division.

The hiring expansion arrives as federal agencies continue confronting increasing pressure tied to ransomware operations, foreign cyber intrusion campaigns, infrastructure targeting risks, election security concerns, industrial control system vulnerabilities, artificial intelligence-assisted cyber threats, supply chain compromise operations, and federal network defense modernization initiatives.

CISA has continued broadening its operational footprint in recent years through expanded coordination with state governments, critical infrastructure sectors, private industry partners, and federal intelligence and law enforcement entities. The agency remains one of the federal government’s primary organizations responsible for cybersecurity defense coordination and infrastructure protection strategy across both civilian federal systems and national critical infrastructure sectors.
