Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
Senior associates are primarily responsible for hands-on project execution. Experienced senior associates have, or are working towards, specialization in one or more service lines and are assigned to projects accordingly. Senior associates are assigned to a specific service delivery principal that is responsible for supervising the associate’s career development. Additionally, senior associate’s daily activities are closely supervised by the management teams of their assigned projects. Senior associates may supervise associates and/or senior associates when serving as a member of a project management team.
As a CMMC Senior Associate at Schellman, you will play a critical role in delivering high-quality cybersecurity assessments for clients seeking compliance and assessment primarily for CMMC and NIST SP 800-171/2. You will be responsible for executing gap assessments, compliance assessments, and formal certification assessments across a diverse range of environments, including defense contractors, manufacturers, professional services firms, technology providers, and managed service providers. You will also be cross-trained to support FedRAMP and other engagements based on NIST 800-53, contributing to Schellman’s broader Federal Practice.
CMMC Senior Associates perform a variety of responsibilities from start to finish during a project, including:
- Interviewing client Subject Matter Experts for different fields of the organization, including technical areas as well as Human Resources, SecDevOps, SOC/NOC, and Internal Compliance;
- Performing walkthroughs of client on-premise, cloud, and hybrid architectures
- Reviewing system security and technical configurations as they pertain to NIST 800-171 control requirements and CMMC scoping considerations;
- Analyzing technical documentation such as system security plans (SSPs), policies, procedures, and evidence artifacts;

- Maintaining awareness of evolving DoD and CMMC program requirements, including updates to the CAP, scoping guides, and assessment guides to support Schellman methodology updates and client education.
- Working in Schellman’s Federal Practice will lead to the natural honing of your technical skills in a variety of fields including cryptography, network structures, system security tools, and CI/CD. You’ll also improve your understanding of organizational controls such as security training programs, configuration management/ system development, and incident response processes. But more than that, a career at Schellman will also support outside opportunities for further education through additional training and the pursuit of industry-accepted certifications such as CISA, CISSP, and others.
