As we've grown, managing that balance, anticipating the downstream impact of changing priorities, and giving leadership a clear view of our security risk and exposure have become increasingly important, and increasingly complex. We're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to bring structure and visibility to this space.

This is a senior, strategic role with substantial room to grow. You won't inherit a fully defined playbook; you'll help create it. You'll establish the processes, dashboards, and prioritization mechanisms that give the security organization greater clarity and leverage, and over time, expand that impact into broader company-wide programs and operating processes. <h2>What you’ll do: </h2> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Own workflow, project tracking, and dependency management across the three security teams, making it clear what’s on track, what’s at risk, and what downstream impact changes may have.</li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Build and maintain dashboards and reporting that give company leadership a clear, durable view of security risk, exposure, and program health.</li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Partner closely with your primary security team on day-to-day execution while supporting the other two teams as priorities and capaci
