Responsibilities

We are seeking an Accreditation Lead to own the authorization portfolio for our government and defense programs. This is a decision-making role. You will decide how each program gets authorized, bring a clear plan to government sponsors and authorizing officials, and hold engineering teams to the requirements needed to get there and stay there.
The portfolio spans cloud environments across FedRAMP and DoD Impact Level requirements, program authorizations for deployed systems, encrypted communications, and CMMC. The Accreditation Lead will require a security clearance and works closely with our ISSM for classified systems, our platform and DevSecOps engineers, and program leadership.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
Own the accreditation portfolio across our government programs: which authorizations each program needs, in what order, and whether it authorizes directly or inherits from an existing authorization
Make and own authorization decisions, including approach, scope, sequencing, and risk recommendations to leadership
Bring a clear plan to government sponsors and authorizing officials: propose the approach, negotiate scope and timelines, and drive agreement rather than waiting for direction
Serve as ISSM of record for cloud and program authorizations under RMF, owning system security plans, POA&Ms, and authorization packages
Maintain software approvals and authorizations on partner and customer platforms, including renewals and new releases
Set security requirements for engineering teams early, hold teams to them through design and delivery, and make the call when trade-offs are needed
Coordinate authorizations for deployed systems and their connections, including encrypted links and interconnection agreements with customer and partner systems
Partner with our ISSM for classified systems so cloud, program, and classified authorizations stay consistent
Serve as the primary interface for CMMC Level 2 assessments, including assessor coordination, POA&M adjudication, and support for annual affirmation
