• Help the engineering team prepare security accreditation documents that follow Department of the Air Force (DAF) Risk Management Framework (RMF) policies.
• Keep the program's documentation repository current: apply numbering and version control, record author, approver, effective date and superseded version, and follow Government document control and approval practices.
• Edit program management deliverables such as project plans, status reports, quarterly review materials and transition plans.
• Apply AppGate templates and style guides, and proofread for grammar, consistency, accuracy and formatting.
• Route documents for review and approval and track deliverables against due dates.

• Experience with RMF and Authority to Operate (ATO) documentation.
• Degree in English, Communications, Journalism, Technical Writing, Computer Science or a related field.
• Skill with Microsoft Word and SharePoint. Experience with Confluence or diagramming tools such as Visio is a plus.
