Job Summary:

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) within the Security organization, you will play a critical role in bridging technical security initiatives with business strategy.

What You’ll Do:

• Strategic Planning & Program Definition:

• Build and maintain a dashboard of impactful security metrics (KPIs/KRIs) to provide visibility into operational responsibilities, such as patch management, detection times, and coverage gaps.
• Budgetary Management & Procurement:
• Support financial management by tracking program budgets, ensuring cost-efficient delivery, and managing procurement tasks (e.g., vendor tools, SaaS security tools).
• Liaise with procurement and financial management teams on vendor selection and contract management.
• Executive Communication & Governance:
• Create presentations for executive management and the Board of Directors, translating technical security metrics into business context.
• Organize and conduct key meetings including Security Leadership,, Security Steering Committee, and periodic Security Team updates.

What You Bring:

• Experience: 10+ years of professional experience including 5+ years of technical program management experience, ideally within cybersecurity or Information Security.
• Technical Acumen: Strong technical fluency in security domains—understanding of infrastructure, software development practices, and secure SDLC.
• Tooling Proficiency: Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar tools for tracking programs.
• Data & Reporting: Demonstrated ability to build dashboards for tracking KPIs and present data-driven insights to stakeholders.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to C-level executives.
