• Facilitate alignment across deeply technical teams and executive stakeholders.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to advance the Security Partnership Framework, supporting security champions across teams.
• Collaborate with the Security Risk Management Lead and risk owners to track and drive timely remediation progress.
• Translate complex cybersecurity and risk concepts into clear, actionable program plans.
• Partner on defining and communicating InfoSec's annual goals and roadmap, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities.
• Contribute to the build-out of a scalable PMO function within Information Security.

The Skills and Qualities You'll Bring Include:

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management, cybersecurity program management, or engineering project management.
• Strong understanding of modern security practices such as cloud security, IAM/IGA, vulnerability management, logging and detection, and ITGC/compliance frameworks.
• Proven ability to manage large-scale, multi-team programs in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience building structure in ambiguous environments and leading through change.
• Proficiency with program management tools including JIRA and Confluence.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
