Staff Technical Program Manager

Role overview

Step into a Staff-level Technical Program Manager role driving the most complex, cross-functional programs across the security organization. The position is designed for someone who can turn ambiguous, high-stakes security initiatives into structured programs with clear owners, milestones, and outcomes, and keep them moving across engineering, compliance, legal, IT, and leadership. It is a senior role that shapes how the security function plans, prioritizes, and delivers work at scale.

Responsibilities

- Lead large, cross-functional security programs end to end, from problem framing and planning through execution and delivery. - Drive initiatives such as compliance certifications, security remediation efforts, incident-driven improvements, and company-wide security rollouts. - Define scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, and success metrics, and keep programs on track. - Coordinate across security engineering, GRC, IT, legal, product, and executive stakeholders, aligning priorities and unblocking work. - Establish the operating cadence for the security organization, including planning, roadmapping, prioritization, and reporting. - Communicate program status, risks, and outcomes clearly to working teams and executives. - Continuously improve how the security organization plans and executes.

Requirements

- Significant experience, typically 8 or more years, in technical program management, ideally with substantial time spent in security, infrastructure, or a related technical domain. - Proven track record leading complex, cross-functional technical programs to successful delivery. - Enough technical depth to engage credibly with security engineers and understand the trade-offs involved. - Strong stakeholder management and the ability to influence without authority. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including with executive audiences. - Comfort operating amid ambiguity and shifting priorities.

Nice to have

- Direct experience with security or compliance programs such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, incident response, or remediation initiatives. - Familiarity with security concepts, tooling, and how security teams operate. - Experience driving programs in a fast-growing company. - Relevant certifications such as PMP or security credentials, helpful but not required.
