Technical Accounting Manager Jobs in San Diego, CA

Agile IT is a Microsoft AOS-G partner and Cyber AB Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) built for the Defense Industrial Base. As one of six original AOS-G resellers for GCC High, we help defense contractors meet CMMC compliance and operate securely in Microsoft cloud environments. Our customers build fighter jet components, naval propulsion systems, satellite payloads, and aerospace platforms that support the Department of War. We make sure their Microsoft environments are ready for the job.

We are in a high-growth phase, and we are stacking the team to match. This role sits at the center of how we get DIB clients across the finish line, from first gap assessment through a C3PAO-led Level 2 assessment and the compliance work that follows.
