Security Compliance Program Manager

Own the POA&M end to end: keep it current, submit it to our hosting partner on the contractual cadence, and make sure what gets signed is accurate

Run NIST 800-171 self-assessment workbooks to completion, maintain the SPRS score, and drive remediation items in priority order through to close

Manage all federal contract and agency paperwork: DD Form 254, DD Form 2345, JCP registration, PIEE and SPRS portal administration, SAM.gov , agency security questionnaires, and DFARS security clause flowdowns

Track every live contractual SLA, from incident notification through periodic reviews and annual affirmations, and prove we met them

Own the obligation register. Read every federal contract and subcontract for what it actually binds us to, including FAR and DFARS flowdowns, and run the register that tracks it. This reaches well past security into employee notices, required training, prohibited technology, EEO and labor reporting, OCI, and business ethics. Much of it gets executed by People Ops, legal or IT, but one person has to hold the map

Sit in on new federal contracts and subcontracts before signature and flag what we are agreeing to

Build and maintain the control-to-evidence mapping so any control's status is a two-minute answer instead of an archaeology dig through tickets

Own personnel security operations: US-person verification, background screening at federal-aligned tiers, onboarding and offboarding access controls, and quarterly access reviews

Lead FCL readiness: FSO vendor selection, key personnel clearance sequencing, SF 328 disclosures, and NISS submission when sponsorship lands, with a path to holding the FSO designation yourself

Direct experience submitting in federal portals, SPRS and PIEE specifically. "Supported" and "submitted" are different things

Has run a NIST 800-171 self-assessment or RMF package end to end, with personal accountability for the outcome

Has computed a SPRS score and can explain the mechanics without looking them up: the 110-control basis, the weighting, and what a POA&M entry does to it

Hands-on with NIST 800-53 Rev 5 inside a real SSP, not just reading one. Knows what a control implementation statement has to say to survive an assessor

Current on FedRAMP as it exists in 2026, and fluent in 20x specifically. Certification Classes, Key Security Indicators, machine-readable packages, continuous validation. We are building on 20x, so experience that stops at Rev 5 documentation will be working against the grain here

Knows where Rev 5 still binds. High remains a Rev 5 process and new Rev 5 certifications stop in June 2027. Knowing which parts of a roadmap that constrains is more useful to us than depth in either framework alone

Can reason about a shared authorization boundary: which controls are inherited, which are shared, which stay application-specific, and what kind of change triggers a significant-change request

Working knowledge of the DoD Cloud Computing SRG and how Impact Levels sit on FedRAMP baselines. The CSP and Mission Owner split matters here, and so does reading a hosting platform's ATO coverage against the agency doing the buying

Has worked opposite a 3PAO or independent assessor on evidence requests and knows what they accept in practice

Can read a contract for FAR and DFARS flowdowns and turn them into a tracked obligation register. If you have run a subcontract flowdown matrix, say so

Background in federal or defense contracting (agency-side, prime, or sub) where you owned a compliance function rather than a slice of one

Has been the only compliance person at an organization; you know how to close a loop without a team behind you

US person, eligible for a Tier 3 background investigation; DC-based or NYC-based with regular in-office presence

An active or recently held clearance is a meaningful accelerant. Existing investigations don't convert, and a Tier 3 takes roughly five months

Have owned a FedRAMP authorization through to completion, on the provider or the assessor side. This is the most valuable thing on this list and it moves our offer

Have written OSCAL by hand, or stood up a trust center against live control indicators

Bring a military background in security, intelligence, or information security (unit security manager, SSO, S2/G2, cyber operations, or similar)

Hold a CMMC CCP or RP, or have direct experience with eMASS, Xacta, Paramify, or equivalent GRC tools in a federal context

Know the GovRAMP reciprocity path into FedRAMP Class A

Come from a GovTech or SaaS company actively pursuing FedRAMP or CMMC, rather than one that already holds it

Your compliance background is in financial services, insurance, or telecom. Large-team GRC with no federal exposure doesn't transfer here

You've assessed federal compliance programs but never owned one. Assessing a program and being accountable for it are different jobs

Your first instinct when asked about our SPRS score is to open a platform and run a report rather than know the number and the story behind it

You need a clean program to walk into. Your first 90 days are inventory, triage, and unglamorous paperwork

Owning a high-side authorization end to end is what you want as your next move. The near-term scope here is the base authorization and the operating machinery around it

Accuracy under commercial pressure is negotiable for you. What we submit carries real legal exposure, and holding the truthful answer is the job
