PROJECT MANAGER
CMMC

Summary

Summary:
We are seeking a contract Project Manager to lead a high-visibility IT infrastructure and cybersecurity initiative to build a secure CMMC-aligned enclave in Azure and enable multiple businesses to onboard and operate within the environment to support third-party certification readiness.
The enclave''s infrastructure and security services are delivered and operated by an outsourced managed services provider (MSP/MSSP). This role will manage execution across internal stakeholders and the MSP/MSSP, ensuring delivery is aligned to technical requirements, compliance expectations, timelines, and audit-ready documentation.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end project execution for the expanded design, build, and rollout of a secure Azure-based CMMC enclave, supporting multiple business entities.
Serve as the primary project manager coordinating across IT/Security stakeholders, business units, and the MSP delivering the environment.
Develop and maintain the integrated project plan, timeline, milestones, and RAID log (risks/actions/issues/decisions).
Manage vendor/MSP&MSSP delivery including scope alignment, execution tracking, dependencies, deliverable acceptance, and issue escalation.
Establish clear scope boundaries between the enclave "core baseline” (shared services) and business-specific customization requirements.
Coordinate technical implementation and readiness activities delivered through the MSP, including:
- Azure landing zone / subscription structure, segmentation, and governance
- Network design and isolation (hub/spoke, routing, connectivity, firewalling)
- Identity and access management using Entra ID (Azure AD), MFA, RBAC, Conditional Access
- Endpoint management and hardening using Intune and Defender for Endpoint
- Security posture management and compliance monitoring using Microsoft Defender for Cloud
- Centralized logging/monitoring using Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM), Log Analytics, alerting
- Key management / secrets / encryption (Key Vault, encryption at rest/in transit)
- Backup/recovery strategy, retention planning, and operational support readiness
Drive creation of a repeatable multi-business onboarding framework, including intake, standard configurations, variation handling, and validation.
Partner with Cybersecurity and compliance stakeholders to translate CMMC/NIST expectations into actionable work packages and measurable deliverables.
Ensure operational processes are defined and adopted for the enclave, including access provisioning, change control, incident response coordination, and escalation paths.
Drive documentation and audit readiness: policies, SOPs, control narratives, diagrams, and proof of operation (with evidence gathered from both internal teams and the MSP).
Coordinate testing, validation, cutover planning, and go-live readiness; ensure post-launch stabilization ( "hypercare”) and transition to steady-state operations.
Provide clear stakeholder communications and executive-level status reporting, proactively surfacing risks, schedule threats, and mitigation options.
Process and track one-time and re-occurring project invoices against the budget. Develop, manage, and maintain the operating cost model for each of the included businesses.

Required Skills & Experience

7+ years of IT project/program management experience, including technical infrastructure and security programs.
Demonstrated success managing delivery through third-party vendors / managed service providers, including milestone tracking, SLA/OLA alignment, escalation, and deliverable acceptance.
Proven track record delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives involving infrastructure, identity, networking, and cybersecurity.
Strong familiarity with Azure and Microsoft security ecosystem, including:
- Azure core services and governance concepts
- Entra ID (Azure AD), MFA, Conditional Access, RBAC
- Microsoft Defender (Endpoint and Cloud)
- Intune device management and compliance
- Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM) and Log Analytics
Working understanding of compliance-driven delivery and audit readiness (experience with CMMC, NIST 800-171, or similar frameworks strongly preferred).
Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and onboard multiple business units with varying requirements and timelines.
Strong documentation discipline and ability to drive teams (including vendors) to produce assessor-ready evidence.
Excellent communication and leadership skills—comfortable working with executives, engineers, auditors/assessors, and vendor leadership.
Tools proficiency: MS Project / Smartsheet / Jira/ SharePoint, Visio (or similar).

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting environments for CMMC Level 2 readiness and/or NIST SP 800-171 implementation programs.

Strong knowledge of secure networking concepts (segmentation, private connectivity, firewalling, zero trust).

Experience coordinating third-party assessment readiness activities (mock audits, evidence walkthroughs, remediation plans).
Certifications: PMP, CISSP, CISM, Azure certs (AZ-104/AZ-305/SC-100).
