Remote Fedramp Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

C2 Labs is hiring a Senior FedRAMP Consultant (GRC Analyst III equivalent) to act as a lead technical writer for FedRAMP authorization packages and ongoing ConMon operations. If you can translate real-world cloud security implementations into crisp FedRAMP documentation—and you care about making ConMon sustainable—this is a strong fit.

What you’ll do

• Lead drafting of FedRAMP artifacts (20X KSI summaries and/or legacy SSP/policies/plans) and drive iterations to completion.

• Maintain control/KSI-to-evidence traceability in RegScale and keep the evidence library audit-ready.

• Partner with cloud architecture/security engineering resources to ensure technical accuracy.

• Support assessor/sponsor readiness: walkthroughs, responses, and updates.

Role summary

Lead author and coordinator for FedRAMP documentation and evidence traceability. This role functions as a technical writer with security and cloud fluency—able to capture architecture and control/KSI implementations from engineering teams and translate them into FedRAMP artifacts. The Senior Consultant owns the quality of first drafts and mentors junior writers.

Key responsibilities

• Lead customer interviews/workshops to capture system boundary, data flows, shared responsibility model, and control/KSI implementations.

• Draft and iterate FedRAMP artifacts (e.g., 20X KSI implementation summaries and/or legacy SSP sections, policies, and plans).

• Build and maintain traceability between controls/KSIs, evidence, validation methods, and ConMon cadence in RegScale.

• Coordinate evidence collection and organize artifacts into a clean evidence library aligned to the package structure.

• Partner with the Cloud Architect and Security Engineer to ensure technical accuracy of narratives and diagrams.

• Support assessment readiness: conduct package walkthroughs, respond to questions, and update artifacts based on feedback.

• Mentor Junior Consultants on writing standards, template fidelity, and evidence hygiene.

Key deliverables / outputs

• FedRAMP first drafts of major package artifacts (KSI summaries and/or SSP sections).

• Policy and plan artifacts aligned to FedRAMP expectations (e.g., IRP, CP, CMP, ISCM, Rules of Behavior as required).

• Control/KSI-to-evidence traceability in RegScale with validation cadence documented.

• Assessment-ready evidence library with consistent naming/versioning and completeness checks.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years experience in GRC/compliance, security documentation, or audit support roles.

• Security certification (CISSP, CISM, CCSP)

• Demonstrated technical writing capability: can produce clear, consistent narratives for complex systems and controls.

• Working knowledge of NIST 800-53 controls and evidence expectations; familiarity with FedRAMP package structure and templates.

• Comfort collaborating with engineers and architects to accurately describe technical implementations.

• Strong attention to detail (templates, cross-references, tables, and evidence mapping).

Preferred / nice to have

• Bachelors degree in IT, Cybersecurity, or related field 

• Prior experience drafting FedRAMP SSPs and/or supporting artifacts (Low/Moderate/High).

• Experience with FedRAMP 20X concepts (KSIs, validation cycles, automation-first evidence).

• Experience working in RegScale or similar GRC tools.

• Audit-related experience.

Tools & environment

• RegScale (controls/KSIs, evidence, workflows, POA&M management)

• Microsoft Word/Excel (FedRAMP templates), Visio/Lucidchart (diagrams) as available

• Ticketing systems for remediation tracking (Jira/Azure DevOps/ServiceNow as customer uses)

Engagement details

• 1099 independent contractor (initial engagement); project-based with potential extension into ConMon operations.

• Remote-first; occasional workshops may be requested (typically minimal travel).

• No clearance required; must be able to pass a standard background check and sign NDA/SOW.

• Hours scale with customer phase (heavy during package drafting; lighter during steady-state ConMon).
