Federal Compliance Manager

Why You’ll Love This Role

We’re looking for a Federal Compliance Manager to lead our FedRAMP certification efforts. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can operate across strategic and tactical levels, and knows how to make progress happen with limited resources. You’ll be responsible for charting and executing our path to FedRAMP authorization—and beyond—while shaping the foundation of our broader federal compliance program.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Drive our FedRAMP Moderate ATO, coordinating across Security, Compliance, Product, Engineering, Legal Support, and external partners (3PAO, agency sponsors)
• FedRAMP ConMon and related activities for ATO maintenance
• Build and maintain FedRAMP-aligned documentation (SSP, policies, procedures, etc.), adapting enterprise-grade expectations to a fast-moving startup
• Own the Compliance project plan—milestones, risks, dependencies, and communication—while course-correcting as needed
• Translate control language into practical implementation guidance for engineering, operations, and other non-technical teams
• Help define and operationalize controls efficiencies across NIST 800-53, FISMA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and other compliance frameworks
• Support customer-facing security conversations, audits, and questionnaires related to our federal offering
• Collaborate closely with Security leadership and Engineering Program Management to scale our internal compliance capability for federal opportunities
• We are a remote-first company and work happens across many time-zones – you may be required to occasionally perform duties outside your standard working hours

If You’ve Got It - We Want It

• 7+ years in compliance, risk, and security, with deep experience in FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or federal contracting
• Proven success achieving FedRAMP certification and ongoing Continuous Monitoring —especially in a fast-paced startup
• Clear communicator who can influence without authority and move work forward through ambiguity
• Familiarity with modern SaaS environments (cloud-native, remote-first, fast-paced) and the compliance challenges they bring
• Past experience standing up a compliance function from scratch

Bonus If You Have

• Experience working directly with agency sponsors or leading 3PAO assessments  
• Knowledge of FIPS 140-3, CJIS, or CMMC.
