To excel in this role, you should have strong organizational skills and familiarity with federal cybersecurity compliance processes. The Program is a federal telehealth modernization effort for which Rios Partners would serve as a subcontractor to the prime contractor, providing Program Management Office (PMO) support.

• Track Government notifications, response deadlines, acknowledgment requirements, closure status, risks, dependencies, and evidence requests.

• Maintain the Cybersecurity Coordination Tracker, capturing action items, due dates, and closure status for recurring program reporting.

• Coordinate with prime contractor cybersecurity, technical, compliance, and program leadership teams to support timely and complete responses to Government inquiries.

• Support cybersecurity-related inputs to program status reporting, risk/issue logs, and executive briefings.

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in cybersecurity compliance, coordination, or governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) support.

• Familiarity with federal cybersecurity processes such as POA&Ms, IAVM notifications, and certification/accreditation (C&A) or Risk Management Framework (RMF)/ATO activities.

• Strong organizational and tracking skills; ability to manage multiple concurrent deadlines and stakeholders.

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills for Government-facing coordination.

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or comparable federal agency cybersecurity compliance programs.

• Security+ (CompTIA) or similar cybersecurity certification.

• Familiarity with FedRAMP/GovCloud authorization environments.

Additional information

• U.S. work authorization required.

• Security Requirements: Ability to obtain and maintain a public trust clearance (i.e. must be US Citizen or Permanent Resident who has resided in the US for the past three years consecutively).

• Must be willing to operate in a hybrid environment, including work in person at prime contractor and/or Government facilities as needed (final schedule determined by team and project) and at the Rios Partners office in Arlington, VA as needed.

Applicants should submit a tailored resume (no more than 2 pages) that clearly displays relevant professional experience and concisely communicates how past education and experience will allow them to be successful in this role.
