Certifications:
- CISA
- CRISC
- CISM
- NIST RMF training (FedVTE or equivalent)
- ISO 27001 Lead Auditor is a meaningful differentiator, especially for commercial‑adjacent bids
Technical & Functional Expertise:
- Deep understanding of NIST 800‑53, NIST RMF, and federal security baselines
- Experience preparing ATO packages and supporting federal accreditation processes
- Ability to translate compliance requirements into clear, actionable engineering tasks
- Strong writing and documentation skills for federal audiences
- Experience working with ISSOs, ISSEs, SCA teams, and federal program leadership
Location & Clearance:
- Must reside in the NCR (DC/MD/VA)
- Secret clearance minimum; clearable candidates considered
Expected Skills:
- Operates with precision, structure, and clarity
- Understands both the technical and policy sides of federal cybersecurity
- Can guide teams through complex accreditation processes without friction
- Communicates confidently with auditors, assessors, and mission stakeholders
- Thrives in high‑trust, high‑impact advisory environments
Benefits
Why Apogee:
Apogee supports federal programs in this prime engagement where governance and risk decisions directly influence mission readiness. You’ll work with senior stakeholders, shape compliance strategy, and operate in an environment that values expertise, discipline, and operational excellence.
