  • Lead a cross-functional team of cloud engineers, system administrators, network specialists, and security analysts.
  • Define priorities, assign tasks, and oversee all engineering deliverables to ensure alignment with the architecture plan.

  • Compliance, Governance & Risk Management

  • Enforce compliance with CMMC Level 2, NIST SP 800-171, and FedRAMP High controls.
  • Define and oversee governance policies for access control, configuration baselines, and data protection.

  • Partner with the ISSM and compliance team to maintain audit readiness and continuous compliance.
  • Continuous Improvement & Innovation

  • Identify opportunities to enhance security posture, automation, and cost optimization.
