The Role

K2 Space is seeking a Facility Security Officer (FSO) to lead our industrial security program, ensuring compliance with 32 CFR Part 117, NISPOM, and DoD/customer security requirements. You'll partner closely with the Head of Facilities, IT Security & Compliance Lead, and government security stakeholders to safeguard classified information across multiple sensitivity levels and build a strong security culture as K2 scales.

This is a high-impact, largely independent role for a self-motivated security professional ready to work across the full organization — from Program Managers and Engineering to Legal, HR, and IT.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in a relevant field

Active Top Secret/SCI clearance

10+ years as a Facility Security Officer or Security Manager supporting DoD and Intelligence Community programs

Strong command of NISPOM, and DoD security protocols

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience briefing executives, employees, and government stakeholders

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary range for this role is $120,000 - $170,000 + equity in the company

Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level

Comprehensive benefits package including unlimited paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks

If you don’t meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.

Export Compliance

As defined in the ITAR, “U.S. Persons” include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a “U.S. Person.”

The person hired for this role will have access to information and items controlled by U.S. export control regulations, including the export control regulations outlined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The person hired for this role must therefore either be a “U.S. person” as defined by

22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.
