The work:
We're seeking a dedicated, passionate, and eager Senior Staff Technical Program Manager to join our team responsible for leading Ripple's Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration program. This is a challenging and technical role, requiring the expertise to synthesize business and technical requirements and the foresight to ensure we are solving for Ripple's current and future security needs ahead of Q-Day. You will work closely with InfoSec, XRPL Core, Payments, Custody, Stablecoin, Platform, Compliance, and Legal to drive a company-wide cryptographic migration across asymmetric ciphers, symmetric ciphers, hashing functions, and digital signatures. You will partner with InfoSec on the high-level strategy, but also know when to get hands-on to push an initiative forward. You must be passionate about enabling teams to invent and deliver security-focused solutions to bold and ambiguous challenges.
What you'll do:
- Drive execution of Ripple's PQC program end-to-end, from cryptographic asset inventory through risk prioritization, tradeoff analysis, and migration execution, against a Q-Day-readiness target of the end of 2028.
- Stand up and own a cross-org PQC working group with named owners across XRPL Core, Payments, Custody, Stablecoin, Platform, and InfoSec.
- Drive alignment with vendors and partners (custody partners, exchanges, payment processors, HSM vendors) on compatible PQC roadmaps, escalating gaps.
- Reduce ambiguity and risk by proactively identifying and eliminating bottlenecks and obstacles, raising issues strategically, and making sound data-driven decisions that deliver for our customers based on associated trade-offs.
- Communicate program status, risk, and progress with purpose and clarity to engineering leadership and executive sponsors, including maintaining the program dashboard reviewed monthly by execs.
- Be a role model and an inspiring leader for other TPMs.
- Create technical frameworks that can be used by engineering teams for decision-making.
- Influence & improve the efficiency of Operational Excellence processes org-wide.
- Partner with program managers, product managers, and engineering managers to understand development priorities and drive alignment across multiple partners with impactful priorities.
- Coordinate testing and release dependencies for assigned engineering teams, and across teams as products converge for release.
- Build migration-progress, risk-register, and readiness dashboards to advise partners and leadership of progress and gaps.
What you'll bring:
- 10+ years of program management experience on initiatives involving sophisticated enterprise tech environments, working directly with many teams across functions.
- Solid understanding of cryptographic fundamentals (asymmetric/symmetric ciphers, hashing, digital signatures) sufficient to synthesize technical tradeoffs with engineering and InfoSec stakeholders.
- Prior exposure to PQC, cryptographic migrations, or security/compliance-driven technical programs is a strong plus.
- Ability to use data and analytics to look at trends and lead health of projects and systems.
- Ability to coordinate multi-functionally, build consensus, and execute across teams. Able to influence without authority, negotiate, and encourage others in a matrixed environment.
- Experience with Jira and Confluence, and proficiency in Google Sheets.
- Experience crafting or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems.
- Experience in Payments, Custody, Stablecoin, and/or Blockchain ecosystems.
