About the role

<div class="content-intro">K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by over $1 billion in total funding from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, ICONIQ, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and T. Rowe Price — and with over $1 billion in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers, we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.

The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.

With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger — helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply.</div>The Role&nbsp;

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.

<li>Review PWS/SOWs and generate DD Form 254s, providing guidance on flow-down security requirements&nbsp;</li>

<li>Conduct security briefings, including indoctrinations, annual refresher training, and event-driven sessions&nbsp;</li>

<li>Investigate suspected security infractions or violations, document findings, and recommend corrective action&nbsp;</li>

<li>Own the full lifecycle of classified information — safeguarding, tracking, storage, reproduction, destruction, and secure transmission (marking, wrapping, mailing) — in line with NISPOM and ICD requirements&nbsp;</li>

<li>Prepare and maintain Program Protection Plans, Security Classification Guides, and Transportation Security Plans&nbsp;</li>

<li>Support the ISSM/ISSO with classified information systems maintenance and monitoring&nbsp;</li>

<li>Active Top Secret/SCI clearance&nbsp;</li>

<li>10+ years as a Facility Security Officer or Security Manager supporting DoD and Intelligence Community programs&nbsp;</li>

<li>Strong command of NISPOM,&nbsp;and DoD security protocols&nbsp;</li>

<li>Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience briefing executives, employees, and government stakeholders&nbsp;</li>
