Job description
As a Security Technical Program Manager, you will own the execution of complex, cross-functional cybersecurity programs spanning GRC and technical security initiatives. You will act as a force multiplier for security leadership, translating enterprise strategy into measurable, repeatable delivery outcomes across the organization.
This is not an administrative tracking role. You are a strategic driver who navigates ambiguity, leads through influence, and ensures that security scales seamlessly with the business while maintaining the transparency and rigor expected in highly regulated environments.
Key Responsibilities
Program Ownership & Strategy
- End-to-End Delivery: Own the lifecycle of enterprise programs across risk assessment, GRC platform implementation, and audit remediation (NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX).
- Operationalize Strategy: Partner with the Information Security Manager (ISM) team to turn long-term security objectives into phased, funded, and resourced roadmaps.
- Risk-Based Execution: Establish operating rhythms and escalation paths that prioritize tangible risk reduction over mere activity completion.
- Security Integration: Ensure security initiatives are embedded into product development lifecycles, engineering pipelines, and IT operating models.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Execution Interface: Serve as the primary bridge between Security Engineering, GRC, IT, and Business stakeholders.
- Influence Without Authority: Lead working groups to resolve dependencies and align teams with competing priorities using data and risk context.
- Strategic Reporting: Build executive-level dashboards providing real-time visibility into program health, control maturity, and compliance readiness.
Requirements
- Education: Bachelor's degree in CS, InfoSec, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience: 5+ years in Technical Program Management, with at least 3 years focused on cybersecurity, IT risk, or security engineering programs.
- Certification: PMP is required. (Additional certifications like PgMP, PRINCE2, or SAFe are highly valued).
- Execution: Demonstrated success leading large, cross-functional, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
Preferred
- Domain Knowledge: Working familiarity with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CIS Controls.
- Security Certifications: CISM (strongly preferred), CRISC, or Security+.
- Technical Stack: Proficiency in Jira, Confluence, Archer eGRC, and Google Looker.
- Agility: Ability to pivot between Agile and Waterfall delivery models while reasoning about technical architecture and security control implementation.
