Job description
Own end-to-end delivery for Application Security and Platform Security initiatives-building and maintaining the program plans, milestone schedules, and dependency maps in Jira, and driving them from intake through close
- Run both teams’ operational cadences-sprint/backlog grooming, weekly status, and quarterly planning-and keep backlog health and ticket hygiene good enough that status is trustworthy without a fire drill
- Partner with the team leads on effort estimation, task decomposition, and resource alignment across concurrent workstreams; surface capacity conflicts and schedule risk early, with options
- Serve the software engineering teams as the primary customers of App Security and Platform Security-intake their requests, set expectations on what security can deliver and when, and keep that channel active rather than reactive
- Manage cross-functional dependencies with software engineering, IT, GRC, cloud/platform, and external vendors and assessors
- Produce leadership-ready program visibility-milestone-oriented, risk-flagged, and current-including the roll-ups and tear-sheets the PMO uses for steering
- Partner with the PMO Lead on roadmap planning: prioritization, capacity planning, and keeping the plan of record maintained as priorities shift
- Flex to other Security & Infrastructure programs as portfolio demand requires, bringing the same execution discipline to an unfamiliar domain
Requirements
10+ years combining application and platform security with the technical program management of that work-deep in at least one domain (secure SDLC, vulnerability management, CI/CD pipeline security; cloud and infrastructure security, identity and access management), credible in the other, with a track record of owning and running programs end to end
- Demonstrated ability to manage concurrent workstreams with cross-functional dependencies and external stakeholders
- Strong Jira or equivalent proficiency; able to build and maintain structured tracking across multi-team portfolios
- Comfortable operating where scope, priorities, and assignments shift with portfolio demand
- Clear, direct communicator; able to simplify complex status for executive audiences and push back when warranted
- U.S. citizenship required; clearable required
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Prior experience as an information security engineer who has since moved into technical program management (preferred over a TPM background without hands-on security experience)
- Familiarity working directly with software engineering and platform/DevOps teams
- Familiarity with NIST RMF, FedRAMP, or federal compliance environments
- Experience in defense technology, aerospace, or DoD contractor environments
