  • Engage with government stakeholders, trade associations, and regulators to shape public policy and advocate for clear and effective cybersecurity procurement standards.
  • Develop internal policies, playbooks, and training materials to guide deal execution, risk management, and internal alignment across business units.
  • Lead regulatory due diligence efforts in support of strategic partnerships, certifications, and government-focused audits.

Required Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience in regulatory affairs, public sector compliance, or legal roles supporting cybersecurity or technology companies.
  • Deep knowledge of public sector procurement and cybersecurity compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, StateRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, FISMA).
  • Demonstrated success enabling federal and/or state sales teams in highly regulated environments.

  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and executive influence skills.
  • Bachelor's Degree. JD or advanced degree preferred but not required.

Preferred Qualifications:
