32d • $105,000 - $120,000 • Onsite

About The Position

M3 Technology Consultants is headquartered in Fairfax, VA, and was founded in 2003. We are a rapidly growing, dynamic company that has successfully built an industry reputation by providing our clients with unparalleled IT services to businesses across the Washington, D.C., and Denver, Colorado, areas. Our team of highly skilled IT professionals supports small and large businesses across numerous industries, providing comprehensive solutions for line-of-business applications, disaster recovery, physical server/network management, and network maintenance and management.
We foster an entrepreneurial work environment with a strong emphasis on customer service. And through empowering great employees, we have created a culture of dedicated, creative, dynamic, hardworking, and fun-loving individuals.
You are an experienced Compliance Specialist with at least three years of hands-on work in compliance, security, or IT governance. You understand regulatory frameworks like CMMC, SOC 2, and NIST inside and out, and you know what it takes to keep organizations audit-ready and secure. You take pride in creating structure—whether that means designing compliance programs, drafting policies, or organizing evidence for audits—and you thrive on helping businesses meet and maintain high standards.
You work well independently and as part of a team, collaborating with IT, leadership, and client stakeholders to implement compliance initiatives that make a real impact. You are comfortable managing multiple priorities, from performing risk assessments to validating technical implementations, and you approach every task with precision and accountability. You communicate clearly, making complex compliance requirements easy to understand for clients and colleagues, and you pay close attention to detail when documenting processes and preparing for audits.
You are proactive, self-motivated, and passionate about promoting best practices. You enjoy training others, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a culture of security and compliance. If you’re ready to take ownership of compliance programs and help organizations achieve audit readiness, we’d love to hear from you.
