The Role

Are you a skilled program leader who thrives in dynamic environments and excels at delivering large-scale, cross-functional security initiatives? Join us as a Senior Security Technical Program Manager, where you'll play a pivotal role in leading high-impact security programs that align with our strategic goals and protect our platform, customers, and data.

As a Sr. Security TPM, you'll drive the successful execution of complex security programs, partnering closely with engineering, product, security, compliance, and business teams. You'll ensure alignment across stakeholders, anticipate and mitigate risks, and deliver consistent results across multiple teams. Beyond traditional program management, you'll serve as a critical translator and facilitator between security teams and execution teams—guiding security and compliance teams to break down their requirements into clear, actionable work while ensuring engineering and product teams understand what's needed and why. You will help shape execution strategies, improve delivery practices, and influence outcomes through strong program leadership while ensuring security objectives are understood, prioritized, and implemented correctly.

This role is ideal for someone who brings strong organizational skills, operational rigor, security domain knowledge, and the ability to lead through influence while managing ambiguity and change.

• Process Improvement: Experience implementing best practices, streamlining execution frameworks, and adopting tools that increase delivery effectiveness and transparency.

Preferred:

• Security Standards Knowledge (Preferred): Familiarity with IT security and compliance standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or FedRAMP. Understanding of how these standards translate into technical implementation work is a plus.
