The ideal candidate will also bring a solid working understanding of ISO and CMMI and how these frameworks relate to operational controls, documentation, and audit readiness. This role emphasizes how compliance with policy is established, communicated, and sustained across departments (e.g., IT, security, HR, operations, project teams). The position requires autonomy, discipline, strong stakeholder communication, and critical thinking, with experience using AI tools in the workplace to improve the quality and efficiency of documentation work.

• Drive policy compliance and adoption by coordinating approvals, communicating updates, and supporting implementation across operational departments
• Translate compliance requirements into practical, usable policies that align to business needs and applicable frameworks (including ISO and CMMI)
• Develop and maintain supporting documentation (e.g., standards, procedures, templates, guidance) to enable consistent execution of policies
• Occasionally support ISO/CMMI-related audit readiness by ensuring policy documentation and evidence expectations are well-organized and aligned to requirements
• Apply critical thinking to identify gaps, risks, and inconsistencies; recommend improvements and corrective actions
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders at multiple levels; track action items and follow through to closure
• Leverage AI tools appropriately to support drafting, editing, summarization, and process/document optimization (in alignment with company guidelines)

Required Skill Set

• Working knowledge/experience with organizational policy compliance (how policies are implemented, monitored, and reinforced across departments) (2+ years)
• Experience supporting or working within ISO and/or CMMI environments (audit readiness, documentation, quality processes, or process improvement) (1-3 years)
• Ability to work autonomously with a high degree of discipline, prioritization, and attention to detail
• Strong stakeholder communication skills: gather requirements, resolve ambiguity, and drive timely reviews/approvals
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills; ability to evaluate processes and recommend practical improvements
• Experience utilizing AI in the workplace to improve efficiency and quality of written deliverables (e.g., drafting, rewriting, summarizing, formatting)
