Role summary
The Director of FedRAMP is the principal leader and point of contact for the Federal Risk Management and Authorization Program.
The American people deserve to trust that their government is effectively securing their online interactions. Those agencies, in turn, trust FedRAMP to provide fair, accurate and unbiased assessments of cloud service offerings. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government by providing a standardized approach to security and risk assessment and maintaining a centralized repository of security packages that agencies can request and reuse. FedRAMP is a mission-critical public-private partnership that connects agency-based cybersecurity officers and private sector cloud service providers to provide secure cloud products that enable government technologists to efficiently serve the American public.
The Director will oversee the FedRAMP strategy, spanning the marketplace, public engagement, program performance, and supervising staff and resources. This role requires a careful balance of entrepreneurial spirit and cybersecurity expertise to meet the objectives.

-
Oversee communications, marketing and positioning for the FedRAMP program, addressing audiences that include, GSA leadership, the official FedRAMP Advisory Committee, Congress, the White House, private industry and independent oversight bodies.
2. You will make it easier for federal agencies and cloud service providers to engage with FedRAMP.
-
Oversee the pipeline of cloud service provider assessments that form the backbone of the program.
-
Direct a cohesive program of enhancements for this pipeline that respond to cloud service provider and agency feedback, manage ever-evolving cybersecurity requirements, and support sound technological decision-making across the federal enterprise.
-
Oversee the FedRAMP program staff who regularly engage with all aspects of the marketplace, and will develop and report on measures of marketplace reach, quality and efficiency for examination by FedRAMP stakeholders.
3. You will sustain FedRAMP’s reputation as a trusted independent evaluator of cloud services for the federal enterprise.
-
Navigate the complex legal and policy environment and balance multiple, overlapping demands
-
