This is more than a program management role. You'll help shape the strategy, operating model, and mechanisms that enable Security to execute on its highest-impact priorities. You'll work across Snowflake to align leaders, turn complex technical and business challenges into clear strategies and decisions, and build the systems that allow teams to move faster with greater clarity and accountability. And as AI fundamentally changes how software is built and how security threats emerge, we have an opportunity to rethink how Security itself operates. You'll help lead that transformation, exploring how AI can change the way we plan, execute, measure, and scale security work. AS A MANAGER, TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGEMENT - SECURITY, YOU WILL: * Shape the Security operating model. Define and evolve the mechanisms, planning processes, and operating rhythms that enable Security to execute against its most important strategic priorities. * Turn strategy into execution. Partner with Security and leaders across Snowflake to translate company and security strategy into clear priorities, investment decisions, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes. * Drive cross-functional alignment at the highest level. Work closely with Product, Engineering, and other organizations across Snowflake to navigate complex dependencies, resolve tradeoffs, and ensure Security is an effective strategic partner to the business. * Lead the evolution of Security in the age of AI. Identify opportunities to fundamentally change how we run security programs using AI-from planning and prioritization to risk management, execution, and measurement-and turn those opportunities into scalable capabilities. * Raise the quality of strategic decision-making. Bring technical and product depth to architecture and planning discussions, pressure-test assumptions, surface risks and tradeoffs, and help leaders make crisp, informed decisions. * Build and lead a world-class TPM team. Hire, coach, and develop TPMs who can operate effectively across highly technical, ambiguous, and business-critical problems. Raise the bar for what exceptional Security program leadership looks like. * Build for scale, not just the problem in front of you. Identify systemic friction across teams and functions and create lightweight mechanisms that improve how Security operates across the organization. * Create clarity from complexity. Develop compelling narratives that connect technical strategy, security risk, business priorities, and customer outcomes for executives and cross-functional leaders. * Own outcomes in ambiguity. Take on problems where the path forward isn't obvious, establish structure where it doesn't exist, and mobilize teams toward meaningful outcomes. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Trustworthy AI Starts at Deployment: 5 Checks Before You Ship](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/753-trustworthy-ai-starts-at-deployment-5-checks-before-you-ship) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer)
