This role supports federal governance, risk, and compliance activities by coordinating certification and authorization efforts, executing assessments with independent assessors, and helping drive continuous monitoring across the federal environment. The role enables business growth by supporting the addition of new services into the authorization boundary and contributing to the development of scalable, effective compliance processes.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

  • Support federal certification and authorization activities by coordinating and executing compliance assessments with independent assessors and internal stakeholders
  • Drive continuous monitoring efforts by coordinating and executing remediation efforts and ongoing compliance obligations
  • Contribute to the development, refinement, and execution of scalable compliance processes to support business growth

Who You Are (Success Profile)

  • You thrive in ambiguity, easily building the path as you walk it and viewing a dynamic environment as a prime opportunity to build something meaningful.
  • You act like an owner with a strong bias for action and a deep care for the outcomes of your work, navigating seamlessly between high-level compliance strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You champion simplicity by distilling complex regulatory guidelines and technical compliance concepts into clear, actionable, and focus-driven plans.
  • You think at scale, connecting your daily efforts to the broader organization's mission and building robust compliance processes designed to support global growth.
  • You lead with integrity, holding yourself and your teammates to high standards of accountability while building trust through consistent, transparent action.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
  • 5+ years of experience coordinating federal assessments, collecting and validating control evidence, and driving remediation of risks at a cloud service provider
  • Deep understanding of NIST 800-53 Rev 5, FedRAMP 20X, DoD Cloud Computing SRG, CNSSI 1253, and proficiency with fundamental security concepts and continuous monitoring processes
  • Experience evaluating security incidents against established regulatory and contractual criteria to determine reportability against U.S. Federal incident reporting obligations, documenting assessment rationale, tracking timelines, and partnering cross-functionally to streamline reporting workflows
  • Must be a U.S. citizen due to the nature of customers.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) with strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills to manage multiple priorities and drive follow-through

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Proven ability to leverage AI technologies and workflows to drive measurable operational efficiency
  • Familiarity with cloud, SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS environments, including how new products or services are assessed and incorporated into an authorized boundary
  • Ability to understand the intent of control objectives across various technologies and exceptionally communicate effectiveness to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Active US Government Secret or Top-Secret security clearance is highly preferred
