About the role
- Lead requirements gathering with product teams and federal clients; translate mission needs into detailed technical specs for data protection (encryption, policies, integrations) aligned with FedRAMP, NIST, and CMMC
- Create and maintain project plans defining deployment phases (architecture, integration, testing, rollout); identify/mitigate risks, negotiate scope changes, and ensure on-time/on-budget delivery per contract SLAs
- 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 technical 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 (including Tampa-area travel as needed) 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 Tampa, FL area (and occasionally beyond) for on-site customer engagements, technical deployments, or support in secure/classified settings
Requirements
- 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)
- 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
- 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)
- 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.
