About Excentium Excentium, Inc. is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with nearly two decades of federal cybersecurity experience. Excentium holds FedRAMP A2LA 3PAO accreditation, CMMC Level 2 certification, and maintains ISO 9001/27001/20000-1 and CMMI DEV ML2 credentials. The company serves federal civilian and defense agencies across two client-facing Business Units: CPS (consulting, advisory, and independent assessment services) and Public Sector (federal prime and subcontract delivery). Excentium is at an inflection point — a proven track record, a strong technical team, and an intentional investment in market development and brand elevation to match the company's capabilities with its visibility.

Position Overview Excentium is seeking a Director, FedRAMP Strategy & Market Development to serve as the company's primary external voice in the federal FedRAMP and cybersecurity community. This is a corporate-level, market-facing role reporting directly to the President & CEO.

This role is designed for a recognized FedRAMP practitioner who combines deep program knowledge with the presence, credibility, and relationship capital to open doors and represent Excentium at the highest levels of the federal market. The right candidate understands the federal authorization ecosystem from the inside, has a vision for where FedRAMP 20x is headed, and wants to be part of a company positioned to lead in that space.
