Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Prepare examples of messaging under constraints (legal, security, brand). Be ready to discuss clearance currency, how you handle prepublication review, and how you partner with technical and program teams without oversharing.
Strong fit if you already hold active TS/SCI, write crisply for senior and government audiences, and prefer process-heavy PA work at a solutions contractor over pure commercial brand marketing.
As Senior Public Affairs Officer with an active TS/SCI, your day centers on cleared stakeholder messaging for ENS Solutions: draft and clear external/internal communications, coordinate with program and security leads before anything leaves the building, prepare leadership for briefings or media touchpoints, and keep narratives consistent with contract and classification rules. Expect rapid turnarounds when missions, awards, or incidents need a disciplined public voice—not open social freelancing.
Build depth in classified-environment public affairs: OPSEC-aware writing, stakeholder mapping, crisis/incident comms, and partner coordination with government PAOs. Keep TS/SCI current; no certification list or costs are provided in the data.
The listing title specifies Active TS/SCI; treat a current clearance as a hard filter unless the employer states otherwise.
Primarily stakeholder messaging, cleared content, leadership support, and coordination with security—not unrestricted media outreach.
Posted as Springfield, Fairfax County, on-site (not remote). Confirm exact site and hybrid expectations with the recruiter.
