Responsibilities
Own U.S. authorization outcomes that directly unlock revenue: Be the internal FedRAMP High and agency ATO compliance SME (scope, SSP quality, assessment readiness, and adjudication), ensuring authorizations land on schedule and remove internal barriers to go-live for strategic public sector customers
Build a scalable compliance delivery engine: Standardize control implementation patterns, evidence models, and ConMon operating cadence so we can support more agencies and more workloads without proportional headcount growth
Drive modernization that keeps Pega ahead of the requirements curve: Translate emerging U.S. Government mandates into a prioritized requirements list that can integrated into product and platform backlogs
Be the executive-facing risk and compliance authority for the U.S. portfolio: Provide clear risk positions, POA&M governance, and decision-ready reporting that enables leadership to invest, prioritize, and close gaps that affect public sector expansion
Accelerate customer trust through high-impact stakeholder leadership: Act as the primary compliance partner to agency security teams and assessors, reducing rework and cycle time while strengthening Pega’s reputation as a reliable, audit-defensible cloud provider
