- CISM
- NIST RMF training (FedVTE or equivalent)

- 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:
