CMMC Compliance Manager

The CMMC Compliance Manager guides Cuick Trac® clients through implementing and maintaining every customer-responsible control in their environment, and prepares and supports them through third-party (C3PAO) assessments where required. You will be the client's trusted advisor from onboarding through certification and beyond: translating the Customer Responsibility Matrix into a practical action plan, building the documentation assessors expect, and keeping clients compliant as their business, contracts, and the regulations evolve.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and the current DFARS cybersecurity clauses as they apply to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Covered Defense Information (CDI), Controlled Technical Information (CTI), and export-controlled data (ITAR/EAR).
