Northrop Grumman’s Corporate Sector's Chief Information & Digital Office (CIDO) is seeking a Senior Principal Cybersecurity Analyst to support the Governance & Strategy organization as a Compliance Liaison.

The selected candidate will be required to work on-site, full-time at our Roy, UT campus - this is NOT a remote work opportunity.

A Compliance Liaison serves as the single point of contact for compliance and risk matters within the assigned service line. The incumbent translates the enterprise‑wide compliance charter into service‑line‑specific policies, drives automation of control activities, and integrates governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) functions with the line’s processes and technology platforms. The role champions a “Compliance‑by‑Design” culture and ensures that all deliverables meet applicable regulatory frameworks.

Key Responsibilities:

Compliance Alignment

• Convert the enterprise compliance charter into service‑line policies, procedures, and standards.

• Ensure projects, contracts, and deliverables satisfy relevant frameworks (ITAR, DFARS, CMMC, GDPR, SOX, ISO 27001, AS9100, etc.).

Risk Management

• Perform line‑level risk assessments; maintain the service‑line risk register.

• Escalate high‑risk items to the Organization Risk Management Council.

Control Engineering & Automation

• Design, build, and maintain automated compliance controls (rule‑based checks, workflow approvals, continuous‑monitoring scripts).

• Recommend tool integrations and processes between enterprise level systems (E.g., ERP, MES), and compliance tools (e.g., RSA Archer GRC ServiceNow, RSA Archer).

Governance Integration

• Liaise between the service line, Quality/Mission Assurance, and enterprise governance bodies (Compliance Steering Committee, Legal & Regulatory Council, Risk Council, etc.).

• Coordinate collection, validation, and reporting of compliance metrics for the monthly executive dashboard.

Training & Awareness

• Develop and deliver service‑line‑specific compliance training and micro‑learning modules.

• Promote a culture of ethical behavior and “Compliance‑by‑Design” via workshops, town‑halls, and newsletters.

Audit & Issue Management

• Prepare for internal and external audits; remediate findings and track closure against SLAs.

• Manage the end‑to‑end lifecycle of compliance incidents (detect → resolve → root‑cause → preventive action).

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual effort, and improve control effectiveness.

• Recommend enhancements to enterprise GRC platforms based on line‑level feedback.

Basic Qualifications:

• Master’s degree with 6 years of relevant experience;
