• Oversee submission and maintenance of continuous monitoring evidence for assigned systems, confirming that scan results, inventory updates, POA&M updates, and change records have been prepared by the appropriate internal owners and transmitted per agency or FedRAMP requirements.
• Monitor, assess, and report on control effectiveness; develop dashboards and metrics to communicate overall compliance posture to leadership.
• Support assessments against NIST-based requirements (e.g., NIST 800-53, NIST CSF) and related programs such as FedRAMP, FISMA, or HIPAA by coordinating tasking and consolidating evidence and status updates.
• Translate technical and policy requirements from Agencies and 3PAOs into actionable, trackable plans for internal teams, ensuring timely remediation and risk reduction.
• Contribute to the improvement of compliance and authorization workflows, leveraging GRC tools to automate and track activities related to ATOs, FedRAMP, and continuous monitoring.
• Serve as a liaison with IT, security operations, privacy, and business units to ensure cohesive governance and communication of audit results and policy updates.

Minimum Requirements:

• U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a NACLC DoD Security Clearance.
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex authorization and audit workstreams, schedules, dependencies, documentation control, and deliverable quality.
• Advanced working knowledge of NIST-based frameworks, the end-to-end ATO lifecycle (e.g., SSP, RAR/SAR, POA&M, continuous monitoring), and how these are applied in practice to federal or FedRAMP authorized systems.
• Proven experience coordinating ATO or FedRAMP authorization activities with federal agencies or as part of a FedRAMP 3PAO, including scheduling, evidence tracking, and coordinating responses from internal technical teams
• Experience interpreting ATO and FedRAMP evidence requests and translating them into clear, trackable tasks for internal subject matter experts.
• Working proficiency with GRC platforms and workflows (e.g., Onspring, Archer, ServiceNow), including reporting/metrics to communicate compliance posture and risk.
• Strong analytical, writing, and facilitation skills, with the ability to brief leadership, influence outcomes, and translate complex security/compliance topics for varied audiences.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience managing system security plans (SSPs), risk assessment reports (RARs), and plans of action and milestones (POA&Ms), including coordinating inputs and updates from multiple contributors.
• Six Sigma, ISO, or other quality certifications
