Summary

This employer is a global leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX) software, delivering enterprise SaaS solutions that enable IT teams to proactively monitor, diagnose, and resolve technology issues before they impact productivity. With dual headquarters in Europe and Boston and a rapidly expanding presence in the U.S. public sector, the organization is investing heavily in its government cloud capabilities and compliance programs. This is a full-time, 100% remote opportunity (East Coast-aligned).

This is a high-impact opportunity to take ownership of a growing FedRAMP program within a fast-scaling, AI-driven SaaS environment. The role offers strong executive visibility, cross-functional influence, and the chance to shape compliance strategy and operational rigor from the ground up. Ideal candidates will thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building repeatable programs, and want to play a key role in expanding into the federal market-including future initiatives like FedRAMP Moderate and DoD IL5/IL6 environments.

Required Skills & Experience
  • 7+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Security Compliance, Cloud Governance, or Federal Program delivery
  • Strong knowledge of FedRAMP lifecycle processes (authorization, continuous monitoring, POA&M management, control implementation)
  • Experience with frameworks such as NIST 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or DoD SRG
  • Proven ability to manage cross-functional compliance initiatives across Security, Engineering, Product, and Cloud teams
  • Experience coordinating audits, third-party assessments, and compliance documentation
  • Solid understanding of cloud architecture concepts (AWS, Azure, GovCloud, GCC High, etc.)
  • Strong stakeholder management skills across executive leadership, auditors, and external partners
  • Ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into structured execution plans
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Experience working with U.S. federal agencies, government contractors, or regulated SaaS environments
  • Exposure to DoD Impact Level environments (IL5/IL6)
  • Familiarity with cloud security models and shared responsibility frameworks
  • Experience leading FedRAMP "in-process" or authorization programs from early-stage maturity
  • Knowledge of compliance tooling, GRC platforms, or automation in audit tracking
  • Prior experience supporting public sector go-to-market strategies or federal sales cycles
  • PMP, CISM, CISSP, or other relevant certifications are a plus
