The ARMY Cloud Business Office (CBO) is the central authority for enterprise cloud services.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Develop and edit speeches, articles, white papers, and annual reports for Army CIO executives tailored for diverse audiences including Congress, military leaders, and industry.
• Draft talking points for briefings and public engagements while creating high-quality documentation for all CMAP stages, including requirement checklists, workflow diagrams, and "Quick Start" onboarding resources.
• Manage the end-to-end "Cradle-to-Grave" content lifecycle for the CMAP, ensuring all artifacts are version-controlled, stored in a centralized repository, and proactively updated to reflect changes in DoD/Army policy and security mandates (IL4/IL5/IL6).
• Serve as the primary editor for all CBO technical publications to ensure a consistent voice while interviewing cloud architects and security engineers to extract and document essential process steps.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts to ensure accuracy across all deliverables and ensure timely delivery of high-quality materials under tight deadlines with minimal supervision.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Technical Writing, Computer Science, Communications, or a related field, plus 9 years of relevant experience in technical or executive communications.
• At least 5 years of experience in a high-level writing or content architecture role, specifically translating complex cloud, IT, or military strategy into executive-level narratives and documentation.
• Professional writing certification (or specific training in executive speechwriting) and extensive technical writing experience within a Department of War (DoW) or DoD enterprise cloud environment.
• Familiarity with cloud modernization workflows, Risk Management Framework (RMF), and the technical nuances of migrating legacy systems to secure cloud environments.
• Ability to comprehend and document complex technical topics such as DevSecOps pipelines, identity management, and cloud-native security controls.
• Proven ability to transform complex regulatory or technical requirements into accessible, engaging language and actionable, step-by-step instructions for mission owners.
• Significant experience supporting senior executives with high levels of discretion while navigating military or government communications environments.
• Strong interpersonal skills for interviewing SMEs and the ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced, evolving environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Communications, Information Strategy, or a related field.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills with a strategic understanding of tone and expertise in AP Style, Army style guides, and federal government writing standards.
• High degree of professionalism and strong interpersonal skills when engaging directly with senior leadership.

Clearance Requirements:

• Must be a U.S. citizen and have a current/active Secret clearance with TS/SCI eligibility.

Physical Requirements:

• Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time.
