ABOUT THE ROLE

Second Front Systems (2F) is seeking a detail-oriented and systems-driven FedRAMP Program Manager to join our mission-driven team. We are a fast-growing entrepreneurial company at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and national security, committed to accelerating secure software delivery for the U.S. Government.

Unlike a traditional internal compliance role, this position is focused on process enablement, cross-functional alignment, and customer-facing support. You will help our customers navigate their FedRAMP authorization journeys by coordinating internal teams, external assessors, and partner organizations to ensure smooth, predictable progress.

At 2F, we thrive on innovation and purpose—pairing a startup’s agility with a clear national security mission. You will play a pivotal role in enabling our customers to achieve and maintain their FedRAMP authorizations, improving how modern software reaches government environments securely and efficiently.

Note: This role requires U.S. citizenship due to government contract requirements. Additionally, candidates must reside in one of our approved hiring hubs:

• DC/Maryland/Virginia

• Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC

• Denver/Colorado Springs, CO

• Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

What You’ll Do

• Partner with customers to understand their FedRAMP goals and provide program management support throughout their ATO process.

• Coordinate internal teams—engineering, customer success, security, and product—to align deliverables that support customer readiness.

• Ensure clarity on shared responsibility models by helping customers understand which controls they inherit and which they must own.

• Build and maintain program plans, trackers, timelines, and reporting to drive alignment across all stakeholders.

• Serve as the primary liaison between customers, third-party assessors, and external FedRAMP partners.

• Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early and escalate as needed to protect timelines and outcomes.

• Support the creation of scalable enablement materials, such as documentation, playbooks, and repeatable processes.

• Educate internal teams on FedRAMP concepts, customer needs, and authorization workflows to drive prioritization and cross-functional clarity.

Skills You’ll Bring to Our Team

• Translate complex compliance and security requirements into actionable steps.

• Manage multiple customer programs and deadlines simultaneously.

• Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.

• Coordinate and influence cross-functional teams and external partners.

• Build structure, systems, and documentation in ambiguous or evolving environments.
  

Experience in:

• Program or project management in cloud, SaaS, cybersecurity, or compliance.

• Customer-facing work such as Customer Success, Account Management, or advisory/consulting roles.

• FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or government compliance frameworks (preferred).

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of program or project management experience.

• Familiarity with FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or agency ATO processes.

• PMP, CSM, or similar certification a plus.

• Security certifications (CISSP, CAP, etc.) are helpful but not required.

• Have a strong interest in matters of national security.

The expected base salary range for this role is $140,000 - $164,000. Final compensation will be based on factors such as experience, skills, level, and geographic location. This role may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses and equity grants as part of the total compensation package.

Success at 2F Looks Like:

• Viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth

• Having a bias toward action and tangible, measurable results

• Striving to be both compassionate and direct with your feedback

• Being team-oriented and inclusive with your actions
