Amazon's Security team is looking for a Clearance Processing Administrator to support the cleared workforce for a U.S. Government program standing up a classified AI Factory. In this role, you will process personnel clearance and system access requests so cleared personnel can be badged, provisioned, and productive as quickly as the rules allow. You will work closely with personnel security, program security officers, system administrators, and hiring managers in a high-volume, detail-oriented environment. If you are organized, accurate, and enjoy keeping a fast-moving process on track, this role is for you.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
Key job responsibilities
- Prepare, submit, and track clearance crossover packets and SCI access requests through the Government clearance-submission system.
- Verify eligibility, citizenship, investigation currency, and need-to-know before access is granted.
- Process account provisioning and privileged access requests. Confirm that clearance, approvals, training, and privileged user agreements are complete before submitting to system administrators.
- Track requests to completion and communicate status to hiring managers and the sponsoring security office.
- Maintain accurate personnel-security, account, and access records, and process access removal when it's no longer required.
A day in the life
You start the day by checking your request queue and the status of open clearance packets, SCI access requests, and account requests. You review new submissions for completeness, verify eligibility, citizenship, investigation currency, and need-to-know, and submit packets through the Government clearance-submission system. You confirm that approvals, training, and privileged user agreements are in place before sending provisioning and privileged access requests to system administrators. During the day you answer status questions from hiring managers and follow up with the sponsoring security office on pending actions. Before you leave, you update personnel-security and access records, process any access removals, and flag anything blocked so it gets resolved quickly.
