About The Position

The CMMC Compliance Consultant is the subject matter expert who carries DIB clients through the full CMMC lifecycle. You own engagements end to end, from initial gap assessment through assessor-ready documentation, and you are the technical authority clients lean on when the requirements get hard. This is practitioner-level work. You scope CUI environments, build the SSPs and POA&Ms an assessor will actually accept, and translate dense regulatory language into guidance a client can act on. You sit in pre-sales calls and executive readouts, you mentor the junior consultants coming up behind you, and you help sharpen the methodology the whole practice runs on. Active CCP and CCA credentials are non-negotiable for this role.
