Active U.S. TS Clearance required, w/ CI poly preferred
5-7+ years of technical project/program management experience, including 3+ years delivering IT/security solutions, software deployments, or data protection implementations in regulated environments
Exceptional leadership and communication skills to motivate teams, hold stakeholders accountable, translate complex technical/security concepts for federal clients/executives, and manage expectations during implementations
Superior organizational skills with proficiency in project tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, MS Project) to juggle multiple concurrent projects, track technical milestones, and adapt to evolving requirements or threats
Willingness to work onsite and travel to meet mission requirements.

Nice To Haves

Strong knowledge of data-centric security concepts, including persistent encryption, granular access controls (e.g., ABAC), key management, and revocation mechanisms across data at-rest, in-transit, and in-use
Familiarity with policy enforcement, dynamic access decisions, audit logging, and secure sharing workflows in regulated or high-security settings
Technical proficiency to translate encryption, access control, and compliance features into mission requirements during requirements gathering, solution architecture, client discussions, and risk assessments
Proven expertise in federal compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST 800-53/171, CMMC, FISMA) and acquisition processes (FAR/DFARS), with ability to analyze requirements, evaluate secure systems, and drive compliant implementations
Strong technical knowledge of data security technologies, including encryption (at-rest/in-transit), access controls, identity management, and integration with platforms like Microsoft 365 Government, Google Workspace, AWS GovCloud, or Azure Government
Experience leading Agile/hybrid projects for mission-critical deliverables: requirements gathering, technical roadmapping, risk/issue resolution, dependency management, and on-time/on-budget execution in cross-functional teams (engineers, security, partners)
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience; relevant certifications like PMP, CISSP, or Security+ strongly preferred)

Run project kickoffs with clients to confirm goals, assumptions, and Virtru processes; coordinate internal Agile/hybrid efforts across engineering, security, and product to track dependencies and milestones
Act as primary Virtru liaison; communicate requirements to engineering/product teams and drive development, testing, and delivery of features like encryption controls and GovCloud platform integrations
Establish processes for post-launch support, maintenance, sustainment, and enhancements; manage compliance updates and new requests while protecting schedule, budget, and client satisfaction
Partner with Product Managers, Sales, and Customer Support team members to handle evolving requirements; balance changes with technical feasibility and federal priorities to maintain project health and strong relationships
Proactively identify and mitigate technical/project risks (integration issues, security gaps, regulatory changes); collaborate with teams and clients to resolve blockers and deliver secure, high-quality outcomes
Lead in-person/virtual client engagements to convey Virtru’s data-centric security value, troubleshoot issues, and drive adoption in secure/classified environments
Must be willing to travel within the greater Northern Virginia (and occasionally beyond) for on-site customer engagements, technical deployments, or support in secure/classified settings
