Three-day weekends. Enough said.</li></ul>What You’ll OwnYour center of gravity will be security and compliance, particularly within a government contracting environment.You’ll:<ul><li>Drive readiness and ongoing compliance for CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171.</li><li>Support SOC 2 and PCI DSS initiatives, including control design, evidence collection, remediation, and audit coordination.</li><li>Take security and infrastructure projects from idea to implementation, managing timelines, stakeholders, vendors, risks, and deliverables.</li><li>Administer and improve security technologies across endpoint protection, IAM, SIEM, MFA, email security, vulnerability management, and logging.</li><li>Lead access reviews, security awareness efforts, phishing simulations, and incident-response tabletop exercises.</li><li>Develop the policies, procedures, and security plans required for compliance, then make sure those controls actually work in the real world.</li><li>Partner with leadership on security risk, vendor reviews, customer requirements, and business decisions.</li><li>Roll up your sleeves alongside the IT team on Microsoft 365, Entra ID, servers, networking, endpoints, identity, and other infrastructure initiatives.</li></ul>
