You are

A compliance enforcer who leads with credibility, you've built a reputation for holding firm on security boundaries, even when it creates friction with senior stakeholders or affiliate personnel, and you do so with professionalism and clear regulatory grounding.
Independently operating and self-directing, you're comfortable owning a program end-to-end without a security team beneath you, proactively identifying gaps, drafting policies, and driving decisions without waiting for organizational scaffolding to be built around you.
Deeply fluent in FOCI mitigation frameworks, you're familiar with applying Proxy Agreement or Security Control Agreement structures to day-to-day operational decisions, including managing visit controls, affiliate communications, and annual DCSA reporting obligations.
A trusted cross-functional partner, you work naturally alongside legal counsel, General Managers, and executive governance bodies like a GSC, translating dense regulatory requirements into clear guidance that non-security stakeholders can act on.
Familiar with applying export control frameworks to technology products, you understand how ITAR and EAR obligations intersect with software or SaaS environments and can partner with counsel to ensure compliance without blocking the business from operating effectively.

Measures of Success

Within your first month, you will immerse yourself in CPS's existing Proxy Agreement, Affiliated Operations Plan, and all DCSA-mandated records, establish relationships with the Government Security Committee and key stakeholders, and conduct a comprehensive gap assessment of current FOCI compliance posture and personnel security rosters.
Within your third month, you will take full ownership of DCSA communications and annual compliance reporting, implement or strengthen visit controls and the Electronic Communications and Technology Control Plans, and launch a refreshed security education and awareness training program for cleared and uncleared personnel.
Within your sixth month, you will have matured the Insider Threat Program into a fully operational multi-disciplinary hub with established reporting mechanisms, completed a self-inspection cycle in preparation for DCSA facility reviews, and embedded yourself as a trusted advisor to the GSC on all security, ITAR/EAR, and FOCI mitigation matters, setting the long-term compliance foundation for CPS's growth in the public sector.
