- Government Policy & Advocacy: Monitor and interpret emerging federal and state legislative/regulatory developments (e.g., CMMC, NIST, state privacy laws) to shape our public sector go-to-market strategy and assist agencies in understanding their security compliance needs.
- Proactive & Reactive Engagement: Develop initiatives that drive proactive services (e.g., threat hunting, tabletop exercises) to prevent incidents, while simultaneously acting as a trusted advisor to key stakeholders during reactive, emergency situations.
- Capture Strategy & Collaboration: Collaborate with technical SMEs and sales teams to align our capabilities with customer requirements, developing proposals, white papers, and business cases for competitive bids.
- Industry Influence & Brand Visibility: Represent the company at trade associations, advisory boards, and policy forums to enhance brand visibility and thought leadership in the public sector.

- Knowledge: Deep understanding of government procurement processes (RFQs, RFPs, GSA schedules) and regulatory landscapes (NIST, DFARS).
- Communication: Exceptional, persuasive communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical vulnerabilities and incident response procedures to non-technical policy audiences.
