Lead the Public Sector's Assessment and Authorization program by overseeing ISSO security functions and artifacts to guarantee compliance and maintain operational continuity. In this capacity, you will develop and deliver comprehensive training for team members, standardize the creation of security artifacts, and establish rigorous security standards to maintain audit readiness and operational excellence. The Information System Security Security Manager is a technical individual contributor role. In this capacity, you will act as the primary subject matter expert for the Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process across Docusign's Public Sector Products and Environments.

You will report to the Sr. Director of Public Sector and Insider Risk, managing projects, customer deliverables, and initiatives that help ensure the success of all 3rd Party assessments for the Public Sector.

This position requires a leader capable of influencing technical infrastructure, product development, and security work streams to develop and implement effective compliance solutions and rigorous risk assessments. You will serve as a strategic liaison, collaborating across marketing, sales, legal, and customer-facing teams to ensure all initiatives align with relevant compliance standards. Beyond oversight, you will proactively identify potential roadblocks in the FedRAMP Assessment and Authorization process, providing technical
guidance to engineering teams to ensure security controls are integrated into the production environments and aligned with current policies and procedures. By fostering deep partnerships with cross-functional stakeholders, you will help translate high-level compliance requirements into actionable technical specifications, ensuring that Docusign's Public Sector offerings remain resilient, secure, and fully authorized to meet the evolving needs of government agencies.

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Sr. Director, Public Sector and Insider Risk.
