Change Control Manager

The Cloud Configuration Manager at Knight Federal Solutions Inc is responsible for

overseeing and managing the configuration management processes within cloud

environments, ensuring compliance with government standards and facilitating

seamless integration and operation of software and hardware components. This role

requires a strategic approach to configuration management, focusing on the rigorous

documentation of Configuration Items (CIs) and acting as the primary conduit for the

Technical Review Board (TRB) and Change Control Board (CCB). The manager will

serve as a critical gatekeeper, ensuring all cloud infrastructure modifications are

technically vetted by the TRB and formally authorized by the CCB prior to

implementation to maintain the integrity of the project baseline and actively prevent

configuration drift.

Responsibilities:

• Define and document all CIs, including software, hardware, and cloud-native

services within the project baseline.

• Compile comprehensive data into detailed approval packages, tailoring technical

architecture and security impact presentations for the TRB and

business/schedule justifications for the CCB.

• Act as the primary advocate and subject matter expert during TRB and CCB

sessions, clearly communicating functional or cybersecurity changes, assessing

risk and interoperability (and redundancy) between licenses and the cloud

environment, and outlining execution options.

• Submit, track, and shepherd all resulting change requests through the rigorous

TRB/CCB approval pipelines, ensuring strict adherence to governance

processes.

• Monitor the cloud environment continuously to identify and handle configuration

drift, executing remediation plans to either revert unauthorized changes or

formally route them through the TRB and CCB for retroactive approval and

documentation.

• Facilitate project rebaselining efforts when significant architectural, scope, or

regulatory changes occur, ensuring the new baseline is properly documented,

technically validated, and officially established via CCB authorization.

• Enforce CCB decisions by auditing the cloud environment post-implementation

to ensure the actual state matches the approved configuration baseline.

• Recommend process efficiencies, particularly in streamlining the TRB-to-CCB

workflow to support agile delivery without sacrificing compliance and assist in

knowledge sharing across all entities.

• Provide the Government with monthly configuration lists and board approval

metrics.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in configuration management, including direct

experience presenting to, serving on, or facilitating Change Control Boards

(CCB) and Technical Review Boards (TRB).

• Minimum 3 years of experience working with government agencies and adhering

to strict Government configuration and change management plans.

• Relevant Associate or Bachelor’s Degree or, supporting certifications and

relevant job or military experience of 4 years in lieu of degree.

Bonus points if you have:

• Strong understanding of configuration management principles, including CM

plans, CIs, and structured ITIL/Agile change management governance.

• Experience working in a cloud environment, preferably AWS GovCloud.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles or cloud posture

management tools used to detect and alert on configuration drift.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively

defend technical information before the TRB and seamlessly translate those

impacts for non-technical stakeholders on the CCB.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and prioritize multiple

tasks and projects.

• DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification or higher (Sec+, CISSP, CASP, etc.) or DoD

8140 equivalent.

Security Clearance:

• Active Top Secret Clearance, preferred with SCI eligibility. The position may

require a Counterintelligence (CI) polygraph examination.
