Description

Empower AI is seeking a Mobile Telecommunications Team Lead to lead a team of up to 7 specialists and technicians to manage the full lifecycle of mobile communication devices for a Department of War agency supported by an enterprise IT Customer Support Services program. The specialist administers the Government's Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, onboards and supports users of NIPR smartphones, DoW Mobility Classified Capability-Secret (DMCC-S) devices, and satellite devices, enforces DISA STIG-based mobile security policies, and manages carrier vendor accounts including monthly billing reconciliation against active inventory. This privileged-user role sits at the intersection of end-user support, systems administration, cybersecurity compliance, and asset accountability, and produces the data the Government relies on for mobile budgeting and forecasting. This is a salaried, FLSA-exempt position in which you will independently analyze situations, determine the appropriate course of action, and exercise discretion and independent judgment on matters of significance to the program and its customers.
