Responsibilities

• Cross-Functional Program Leadership
  • Act as the primary program manager for compliance across Coreforce, coordinating across IT, Security, Legal, Product, Finance, and Operations to plan and execute compliance programs on schedule.

  • Build and maintain a master calendar of compliance obligations, audits, and certification renewals across the business.
• Driving New Compliance Initiatives
  • Immediately begin and execute a program to obtain GovRAMP compliance, serving as the first major initiative in the role, with FedRAMP and other compliance initiatives to follow as the program matures.
  • Identify gaps and emerging requirements across relevant frameworks (e.g., CJIS, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) and translate them into structured, actionable compliance initiatives.
  • Build compliance projects from the ground up: define scope, milestones, resource needs, and success criteria for each initiative.
  • Produce compliance project plans and business cases for review and approval by the executive leadership team, clearly articulating risk, cost, and timeline.
  • Use, and drive the adoption of, AI tools and methods to accelerate certification efforts and reduce the manual burden of compliance and evidence collection for required audits.
• Upholding Existing Compliance Requirements
  • Own the ongoing maintenance of existing compliance certifications and authorizations, ensuring continuous adherence and audit-readiness.
  • Monitor control environments and compliance status across business units, escalating gaps or risks before they become findings.
  • Maintain compliance documentation, policies, and evidence libraries required to support audits and assessments.
• Third-Party and Vendor Management
  • Identify, evaluate, and engage third-party partners where needed—including auditors, assessors (e.g., FedRAMP 3PAOs), and specialized consultants—to execute compliance work.
  • Manage third-party relationships and deliverables, ensuring external partners meet Coreforce's quality, timeline, and cost expectations.
  • Own cost control, containment, and management across compliance initiatives and vendor engagements, ensuring programs are delivered within approved budgets.
  • Partner with Legal and Procurement to ensure vendor agreements reflect appropriate compliance requirements and protections.
• Risk Management
  • Support the identification, assessment, and mitigation of compliance-related risks across the business.
  • Develop and track key risk and compliance metrics, bringing visibility to trends and emerging issues.
• Reporting and Executive Communication
  • Prepare clear, executive-ready compliance project plans, status updates, and risk reports for the executive leadership team.
  • Present compliance program performance, milestones, and open risks in a way that supports informed, timely decision-making at the leadership level.

• Demonstrated experience managing compliance programs against frameworks such as CJIS, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS.

• Proven cost control, containment, and management skills, with experience keeping compliance programs and vendor engagements within budget.
• A proven history of executing compliance initiatives and obtaining authorizations within tight timelines, without sacrificing quality or completeness.
