Collaborate with HR, IT, Legal, and other departments to align efforts with company objectives, especially regarding federal contracts.
Act as an advisor to the CEO on compliance, security, and facilities matters.

Bachelor's degree in Business, Law, Security Management, Engineering, or related; Master's preferred.
At least 10 years in compliance, security, or facilities management, with 5+ years in leadership.
Deep experience in aerospace, defense, or tech sectors, with knowledge of DFARS, CMMC, and federal contractor obligations.
