About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive end-to-end delivery of multi-quarter security initiatives—such as IAM upgrades, vulnerability-management improvements, compliance readiness efforts, and security architecture changes—from proposal through launch, operational rollout, and post-launch optimization.
Coordinate execution across Engineering, IT, Product, Legal, and GRC, serving as the central point of alignment across time zones to remove ambiguity, streamline decision-making, and maintain forward momentum.
Own program communications, producing clear status updates, designing and pulling key metrics, executive briefings, risk logs, and decision records to ensure stakeholders at all levels have timely, actionable visibility.
Identify and mitigate risks early by conducting structured dependency, resourcing, and requirements assessments; evaluate whether technical implementation plans meet security, compliance, and business objectives.
Serve as the escalation channel for delivery risks, blockers, and cross-team conflicts, ensuring issues are triaged and resolved rapidly.
Implement and maintain tooling workflows in Jira, Confluence, Airtable, and related platforms to support roadmap tracking, milestone management, capacity planning, and documentation quality.
