CMMC Consultant (Implementation Lead)

You must be a U.S. citizen to qualify for the role.

Company: Koop Technologies

Position: CMMC Implementation Lead

Type: Full-Time

Location: New York, NY (in-person or hybrid)

Who We Are:

Koop Technologies (“Koop”) helps defense tech companies commercialize faster by taking care of compliance, security, and insurance requirements in a single, seamless GRC platform.

This decade will be defined by Deep Tech. As Aerospace & Defense, dual-use, and federal-adjacent startups scale, they face increasingly stringent cybersecurity requirements — especially under CMMC and NIST 800-171. These requirements are complex, resource-intensive, and often misunderstood.

Koop’s mission is to simplify compliance for the most technically ambitious companies in the world while protecting society from a new generation of risks.

We are post-product-market-fit, growing rapidly, and expanding our compliance team to support product development and customer success in the CMMC space. We value strong work ethic, first-principles thinking, creative problem-solving, excellent communication skills, and technical depth.

Job Description:

We are looking for a senior CMMC Implementation Lead who will play a pivotal role in both:

  1. Implementing CMMC for customers from start to finish, and
  2. Assisting customers with the C3PAO audit process.

This is an Individual Contributor role. You will directly implement CMMC for customers while also shaping how CMMC is operationalized and automated inside our product with AI.

Working closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Leadership, you will:

  • Lead end-to-end CMMC readiness engagements for Aerospace & Defense and federal-adjacent customers
  • Guide customers through NIST SP 800-171 implementation, SSP development, POA&Ms, gap assessments, and audit preparation
  • Lead CUI boundary scoping and support customers’ security architecture designs if needed
  • Assist in the CUI enclave solution recommendation and deployment if required
  • Interpret and operationalize CMMC Level 1 and 2 requirements into scalable, repeatable workflows
  • Design standardized methodologies, templates, and playbooks for CMMC implementation
  • Assist in external audit preparation and support for C3PAO readiness
  • Translate regulatory requirements into product specifications for automation within Koop’s GRC platform
  • Act as a subject matter expert in CMMC and defense compliance frameworks
  • Support go-to-market initiatives by contributing to thought leadership, webinars, customer conversations, and product collateral
  • Stay current with CMMC rulemaking, DoW guidance, and evolving assessment standards

You will join a team of product builders, engineers, and compliance professionals building the pioneering GRC platform for Deep Tech and Defense startups.

Job Requirements:

  • Deep hands-on experience with CMMC Level 1 and 2 and NIST SP 800-171 implementation
  • Experience building and managing SSPs, POA&Ms, and performing readiness assessments
  • Strong familiarity with DFARS 252.204-7012 and related DoW cybersecurity requirements
  • Experience preparing organizations for third-party C3PAO assessments
  • Proven experience managing compliance engagements
  • Ability to translate regulatory language into practical, implementable controls
  • Strong documentation skills and attention to detail
  • Founder mindset, strong ownership, and ability to operate in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of cybersecurity or compliance experience, with significant exposure to defense or federal contracting environments
  • Prior experience in a consulting, advisory, or in-house compliance leadership role
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field
  • Relevant certifications preferred (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CCP, CCA, or equivalent)
  • Experience working with early-stage or high-growth companies is a strong plus

Administrative:

  • In-person or hybrid role in New York City
  • Competitive salary and generous equity
  • Health, dental, and vision package
  • Flexible time off and paid holidays
  • Paid professional development (courses, certifications, conferences)
  • Tremendous growth opportunity (professionally, personally, and financially)

Why Koop Technologies?

  • A rare opportunity to shape how CMMC compliance is automated for the next generation of Aerospace & Defense startups
  • Direct impact on product development and customer success at an early-stage, high-growth company
  • Work with an energetic, high-caliber team across product, engineering, compliance, and sales
  • Help define best practices for CMMC automation and defense cybersecurity compliance
  • Join a mission-driven company protecting the world from a new generation of technological risks
