About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Cybersecurity Professional with a strong background in cybersecurity consulting, auditing, compliance, engineering, or assurance.
This role is designed for a cybersecurity professional who can combine technical credibility, client ownership, practical judgment, and fast execution across complex and changing compliance environments.
The ideal candidate has strong experience in at least one major cybersecurity or assurance framework, such as CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, or a comparable regulatory environment, and is capable of expanding into additional frameworks over time.
We support organizations operating in the Defense Industrial Base and other regulated industries , including environments where cybersecurity, auditability, risk management, and regulatory compliance are critical.
This role is broader than a traditional auditor position.
You will own client engagements, perform assessments, develop reports, guide customers through complex cybersecurity requirements, coordinate with internal experts, and use AI and automation tools to improve delivery efficiency.
Who You Are
• You take ownership.
You do not wait for someone else to move the engagement forward.
• You build client confidence.
You communicate clearly, listen carefully, and can work effectively with both engineers and executives.
• You are adaptable.
You can move between customers, technologies, industries, and frameworks without losing momentum.
• You learn quickly.
You can build competence in unfamiliar regulatory and technical environments without needing years of prior exposure.
• You balance speed with discipline.
You move quickly while maintaining documentation, quality, and follow-through.
• You exercise practical judgment.
You can distinguish a real cybersecurity requirement from unnecessary complexity.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity.
You can identify what is known, what is uncertain, what requires validation, and what needs to happen next.
• You know the difference between confidence and certainty.
You can lead the client while recognizing when a technical question requires validation or escalation.
• You challenge assumptions constructively.
You are willing to ask difficult questions without becoming rigid or overly procedural.
• You focus on outcomes.
You translate cybersecurity requirements into measurable progress for the customer.
• You value both accuracy and practicality.
The most complicated solution is not always the best solution.
Key Responsibilities
• Serve as the primary day-to-day owner for assigned client engagements, driving meetings, decisions, follow-up, risks, milestones, and overall customer confidence.
• Integrate with the existing Service Delivery team and provide transition, support, and ongoing account ownership for a growing portfolio of customers.
• Build client confidence by asking strong questions, understanding the customer environment, and communicating clear next steps.
• Conduct cybersecurity gap assessments, readiness reviews, audits, and advisory engagements across frameworks such as NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI.
• Provide consulting and advisory services for organizations operating in regulated or security-sensitive environments.
• Apply cybersecurity frameworks practically and proportionally , distinguishing actual requirements from unnecessary over-engineering.
• Support development and maintenance of system security documentation, including SSPs, POA&Ms, SARs, risk assessments, audit reports, and supporting evidence.
• Translate complex cybersecurity and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable recommendations for both technical and executive stakeholders.
• Operate effectively when customer requirements or technical environments are incomplete or ambiguous by identifying what is known, what remains uncertain, and what must be validated before proceeding.
• Adapt quickly when customer priorities, technical environments, or regulatory requirements change.
• Manage multiple concurrent engagements while maintaining documentation, follow-up, deadlines, and quality standards.
• Identify when a question requires deeper technical expertise and involve the appropriate subject-matter expert rather than making unsupported assumptions.
• Present findings, risks, and recommendations through professional reports, working sessions, and executive briefings.
• Use AI-assisted analysis and automation tools to improve research, compliance analysis, documentation, and reporting while applying appropriate professional judgment and validation.
• Develop capability across additional frameworks and regulatory areas, including FDA cybersecurity requirements, SEC cyber governance, FedRAMP, and emerging cybersecurity regulations.
• Collaborate with internal technical experts and leadership to resolve complex client issues and improve delivery methods.
Qualifications Required
• 5+ years of relevant cybersecurity experience in consulting, auditing, compliance, engineering, assurance, or a related discipline.
