The posting

Fortreum is a trusted leader in cloud and cybersecurity services, ranked among the Top 5 FedRAMP Third Party Assessment Organizations (3PAO). With the addition of Kovr.AI, we have expanded our capabilities to include advanced cyber risk quantification and analytics, enabling organizations to better understand, measure, and communicate risk. Together, we deliver independent, third-party, vendor-agnostic regulatory assessment and advisory services, alongside advanced cybersecurity offensive and compliance technical solutions. Our comprehensive service portfolio spans regulatory compliance frameworks including FedRAMP, CMMC, FISMA, SOC, PCI, ISO, and HIPAA.

Working with Fortune 500 companies and leading cloud service providers, we’ve built our reputation on service-delivery excellence and an unwavering commitment to client success. Our continued rapid growth creates exceptional opportunities for driven professionals to make their mark in the cybersecurity industry—guided by our core values: quality above all, a customer-driven mindset, autonomy, and personal accountability.

Fortreum team members have supported the biggest cloud providers in the world, and you will have the opportunity to learn from the best.

The Senior Consultant, FedRAMP 20x Advisory leads projects evaluating the security and compliance of client firms against regulatory and industry requirements and standards, as well as security best practices. This is an engineer-minded, hands-on role: you will design solutions mapped to FedRAMP 20x Key Security Indicators (KSIs), build validation approaches that demonstrate control satisfaction through code and automation rather than static documentation, and develop reports and documentation for clients.

- Develop documentation such as a Security Decision Record (SDR) and Certification Package Overview (CPO)

- Design and implement client solutions mapped to FedRAMP 20x Key Security Indicators (KSIs), translating outcome-based requirements into technical architecture rather than narrative documentation

- Build and support automated, code-based validation methods (scripts, APIs, Infrastructure-as-Code) so clients can demonstrate continuous control satisfaction instead of point-in-time screenshots

- Track FedRAMP 20x releases and Change Requests (e.g., CR26) on an ongoing basis and translate new guidance into practical client recommendations

- Use AI/ML tools to catalog Key Security Indicators and help clients and internal teams navigate evolving requirements efficiently

- Advise CSPs on generating machine-readable visibility into their own compliance data, giving them stronger grounds to defend risk-based decisions to assessors

- Establishes and maintain positive collaborative relationships with clients and stakeholders

- Advises clients on compliance activities and their desired outcomes

- Leads project activities including preparation, review of documentation and artifacts, evaluation of procedures, and client interviews

- Ensures quality products and services are delivered on time and within allotted hours

- Continuous professional development in pursuing industry specific certifications

- Escalates client and project issues to management in a timely manner to inform and engage the necessary resources to address the issue

- Provides mentorship to team members

- Interfaces with clients through entire engagement, interacting will all levels of client organizations

- Pursue industry specific certifications and seek continuous professional development

This is a customer facing role. Travel is expected to be limited in nature; however, you may be required to travel to client locations and deliver professional services.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
