Job Details

We are seeking a hands-on Security Compliance & Implementation Consultant to lead and execute security and compliance initiatives across a growing enterprise environment. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong cybersecurity knowledge with the technical ability to implement security controls, configure platforms, develop policies, and drive compliance efforts to completion.

The organization has already invested in compliance assessment tooling and has identified gaps, remediation plans, and security objectives. The consultant will be responsible for taking those findings and translating them into action by implementing technical controls, developing governance processes, and ensuring alignment with regulatory and security frameworks.

This individual will work closely with leadership, IT teams, and business stakeholders to strengthen the organization's security posture while supporting initiatives related to ITAR compliance, NIST frameworks, data protection, governance, and future compliance readiness efforts.

Key Responsibilities
Security Compliance & Governance
Review and analyze security gaps, compliance findings, and remediation plans identified through governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platforms such as Tenacy or similar solutions.

Collaborate with internal IT teams to remediate security findings and close compliance gaps.
Implement security best practices related to access control, asset management, encryption, logging, monitoring, and data protection.

Support security initiatives within Azure and Microsoft 365 environments.
Configure and manage security features across:
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

Lead meetings, workshops, and security reviews with technical and non-technical audiences.
Drive projects from assessment through implementation and validation.
Manage multiple initiatives simultaneously while maintaining strong communication and accountability.

Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Security Engineering, Compliance, or Security Consulting.

Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a highly motivated, hands-on security professional who enjoys taking ownership of security initiatives and driving them to completion. The ideal candidate can review a compliance roadmap, understand the required outcomes, and independently implement the technical controls, policies, and processes necessary to achieve them.
This person should be equally comfortable discussing compliance requirements with leadership, configuring security controls in Microsoft environments, developing governance documentation, and coordinating remediation efforts across the organization.
