FedRAMP Security Consultant

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a FedRAMP Security Consultant based in the United States.

This role is a high-impact consulting position focused on guiding cloud service providers through FedRAMP readiness and authorization journeys. You will act as a trusted advisor, helping organizations translate complex NIST SP 800-53 requirements into practical, cloud-native security implementations. The role combines hands-on compliance expertise with client-facing advisory work across diverse cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. You will lead gap assessments, develop critical FedRAMP documentation, and shape remediation roadmaps that accelerate authorization outcomes. Working in a remote-first environment, you will collaborate closely with technical and security stakeholders to strengthen security posture and regulatory alignment. This position offers exposure to high-stakes federal compliance programs and the opportunity to influence both client success and internal methodology development.

Accountabilities:

In this role, you will lead FedRAMP advisory and readiness engagements while ensuring clients achieve compliance alignment with federal security standards.

• Lead FedRAMP readiness assessments, identifying control gaps and developing actionable remediation roadmaps aligned with NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP requirements.
• Perform detailed gap analyses across technical, operational, and documentation controls, translating findings into clear risk-based recommendations.
• Develop and support key FedRAMP artifacts including System Security Plans (SSP), POA&Ms, policies, and authorization documentation.
• Translate NIST control requirements into real-world cloud implementations across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
• Advise on security architecture and control design to ensure alignment with FedRAMP expectations and shared responsibility models.
• Facilitate client workshops and stakeholder discussions to drive understanding, validation, and progress toward authorization readiness.
• Collaborate internally to refine FedRAMP methodologies, templates, and delivery approaches for scalable compliance services.

Requirements:

This role requires strong experience in cybersecurity consulting, compliance frameworks, and cloud security environments, with the ability to lead client engagements independently.

• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, compliance, or risk assessment roles within structured enterprise or consulting environments.
• 2-3+ years of hands-on experience with NIST-based frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53, RMF, FedRAMP, or FISMA.
• Proven experience supporting FedRAMP readiness activities, including gap assessments, SSP development, or POA&M creation.
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) including identity, logging, network architecture, and secure configuration practices.
• Ability to interpret security control intent and translate it into practical technical implementations.
• Experience in client-facing advisory roles, including workshops, technical discussions, and stakeholder alignment.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CISM, or CCSP are strongly preferred.
• Strong communication, analytical thinking, and structured problem-solving skills.

Benefits:

• Competitive contractor compensation equivalent to an annualized range of $100,000-$140,000 USD , based on hours and engagement scope
• Fully remote work environment with flexible scheduling
• Exposure to high-impact federal compliance and cloud security projects
• Opportunity to work across leading cloud platforms and complex enterprise environments
