• Support security control assessments (SCAs) and coordinate with third-party assessors
• Monitor, track, and report on security compliance posture through Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) processes
• Provide expert guidance on DoD cloud security policies, NIST SP 800-53 controls, CNSS policies, and DoD-specific frameworks such as Cloud Computing SRG and AI-specific guidance

• U.S. Citizenship with an active DoD Secret clearance (Top Secret preferred)
• Bachelors degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field
• 5+ years of cybersecurity experience, with at least 3 years supporting RMF activities for DoD systems

• Familiarity with Generative AI technologies, including LLMs and AI/ML security considerations
• Deep understanding of NIST SP 800-53, DoD RMF, FedRAMP, and other relevant cybersecurity frameworks
• Experience writing and maintaining RMF artifacts such as SSPs, POA&Ms, and SARs
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
