Job Level
About the role
- 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.
Requirements
- 4+ years of program management experience delivering complex software or security programs in an engineering-driven organization.
- Demonstrated success executing initiatives involving security controls, risk reduction, and compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, NIST CSF).
- Experience defining program scope, success metrics, and milestone plans that directly support broader product, engineering, and security strategies.
- Proven ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, driving aligned decisions and clear system-level understanding.
- A deep understanding of the software development lifecycle, including planning, prioritization, dependency management, and release coordination.
- A track record of fostering collaboration, guiding diverse stakeholders (engineering, product design, legal, IT, operations) toward shared outcomes.
- A proactive, resourceful work style, bringing structure, creativity, and energy to ambiguous or evolving problem spaces.
