- Lead information security risk management activities, including structured risk assessments, development of Risk Treatment Plans (RTPs), and facilitation of residual risk acceptance in coordination with the CISO and Accountable Manager
- Direct the Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) across the full incident lifecycle: detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned
- Manage Aireon’s response to findings from competent authorities (EASA and others), driving corrective action plans (CAPs) through timely and effective closure
- Oversee Aireon’s external information security reporting scheme, ensuring accurate and timely notification to relevant authorities and stakeholders per IS.I.OR.230

- Bachelor’s degree in information technology, cybersecurity, or a related discipline; professional certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), or equivalent required
- 12+ years of progressive experience in information security, with at least 3 years in a security leadership role managing people and security programs within critical infrastructure or high-availability operational environments

- Familiarity with aviation industry security requirements and regulatory bodies (EASA, ICAO, CANSO) is strongly preferred
Things That Would be Great if You Brought to the Table:
- Experience working within an Air Traffic Services (ATS) or aviation operational technology environment

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Information Security Analyst
Align your credentials to SOC standards
PERM filings for Information Security Analyst roles reference the SOC 15-1212 occupation code. Review the O*NET profile for this code to confirm your degree field and experience match what DOL evaluates during prevailing wage determinations.
Verify the prevailing wage before negotiating
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV wage for SOC 15-1212 in your target metro. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified prevailing wage, or PERM will be denied regardless of your qualifications.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Information Security Analyst roles by employers who have filed PERM applications, so you focus your search on companies that have already navigated the green card process rather than those encountering it for the first time.
Obtain security certifications before your I-140 is filed
Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or Security+ strengthen your EB-2 or EB-3 petition by demonstrating specialized competency. Document them with official certificates and continuing education records before your employer submits the I-140 to USCIS.
Ask employers about priority date strategy during offer negotiations
For nationals from high-backlog countries, the EB-2 or EB-3 priority date your employer files determines when you can adjust status. Asking about concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing eligibility, or PERM timeline commitments, helps you assess the realistic path to a green card before accepting an offer.
Clarify how security clearance requirements interact with your status
Some Information Security Analyst roles require access to classified systems, which may be restricted to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Confirm whether the sponsoring role requires clearance eligibility before PERM is filed, since clearance requirements can complicate the labor certification job description.
Green Card Information Security Analyst: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Information Security Analyst roles commonly qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Yes. Information Security Analyst roles typically require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field, which satisfies the professional category under EB-3. Roles requiring a master's degree or equivalent specialized credentials in areas like threat intelligence or security architecture may qualify under EB-2 as advanced-degree professionals. Your employer selects the category based on the actual job requirements, not your individual background.
How does the PERM green card process differ from H-1B sponsorship for security analysts?
H-1B visa sponsorship is temporary and subject to an annual lottery cap, meaning your ability to stay in the U.S. depends on selection each registration cycle. PERM-based green card sponsorship is permanent residency with no annual lottery. The tradeoff is time: PERM labor certification requires your employer to run a full recruitment process through DOL before filing, and total processing from PERM to adjustment of status often runs two to four years or longer depending on your country of birth.
How can I find Information Security Analyst jobs where the employer is willing to sponsor a green card?
Start with Migrate Mate, which surfaces Information Security Analyst roles filtered by employers with PERM filing history. This lets you focus on companies that have already sponsored foreign nationals through the green card process rather than those that may be unfamiliar with the DOL and USCIS requirements involved in sponsoring a permanent hire.
What does the PERM recruitment process look like for an Information Security Analyst position?
Your employer must conduct a supervised recruitment campaign through DOL to demonstrate no minimally qualified U.S. workers applied for the role. This includes placing job ads in specific formats, documenting every application received, and providing legitimate business reasons for not selecting U.S. applicants. The job description used in the PERM filing must accurately reflect your actual duties, since USCIS reviews the I-140 for consistency with what was advertised.
Can security clearance requirements affect my green card sponsorship eligibility as an Information Security Analyst?
They can. If the PERM job description lists a clearance that requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency as a condition of employment, DOL may reject the filing because the requirement functionally excludes the foreign national being sponsored. Employers sponsoring non-citizen analysts typically structure the role around clearance-ineligible duties at the time of filing, with the understanding that clearance eligibility follows once permanent residency is granted.
