  • Communicate assessment status, risks, findings, and recommendations clearly and professionally.
  • Facilitate intake sessions, evidence walkthroughs, and remediation discussions.
  • Advise clients on strategic and tactical steps required to achieve or maintain certification readiness.

Program & Team Management:

  • Lead assessment team members, ensuring high-quality execution and adherence to CMMC guidelines.
  • Coordinate across cybersecurity engineers, policy analysts, SMEs, and project leadership.
  • Support development and continuous improvement of assessment frameworks, templates, and standard operating procedures.

  • Maintain assessment records, corrective action tracking, and audit support documentation.
  • Support internal and external quality reviews, including pre-assessment readiness checks.

Here's what you need:
