• Working knowledge of the CMMC framework, including its maturity levels, control domains, and assessment/audit process.

• Serve as the primary project-management contact for the customer on Cyderes' CMMC audit deliverables and overall support, able to speak knowledgeably to CMMC scoping, controls, and evidence standards.
• Participate in all meetings, recurring status sessions, and executive updates related to the CMMC audit activity, translating CMMC-specific requirements into clear project status and risk narratives for stakeholders.
• Coordinate cross-functional Cyderes teams — including cybersecurity consultants and engineers — to ensure CMMC evidence is complete, accurate, and provided on time.
• Proactively identify delivery risks and blockers tied to CMMC audit requirements and drive timely resolution and escalation of Cyderes-related actions.
• Ensure project deliverables meet quality standards, customer expectations, and CMMC assessment criteria for everything Cyderes is accountable for providing.
• Lead project closeout, lessons learned, documentation, and transition activities, capturing insights to strengthen future CMMC engagements.
