  • Provide clear and crisp transparency to the status and progress of Federal initiatives. 

What you'll bring to the role

  • US Person Status (e.g. a U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refugee, or Asylee)
  • Self-starter; able to work well in an ambiguous and constantly changing, fast paced environment 
  • Strong leadership skills; able to successfully influence without authority 
  • Experience leading and driving complex cross-functional initiatives independently with minimal supervision
  • Minimum 7 years of hand-on technical project management experience in a SaaS product development environment - working hand-in-hand with Engineers to deliver 
  • Experience with delivering FedRAMP, IL, or other compliance or security initiatives within Engineering organizations preferred
  • Strong leadership skills; able to successfully influence and build close relationships
