This role demands strong technical acumen, rigorous execution discipline, and the ability to influence across engineering, research, and executive leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Program Planning & Execution

Own program governance, milestone tracking, and execution cadence, including sprint planning and reviews.

Show full description

Cross-Functional Leadership

Act as the primary interface (“API”) between Threat Research, Product Management, Platform Engineering, and Executive stakeholders.
Identify downstream dependencies early, negotiate timelines, and resolve conflicts to prevent execution bottlenecks.
Hold engineering and research teams accountable to commitments while fostering strong collaboration and trust.

Risk, Dependency & Incident Management

Proactively identify technical, operational, and delivery risks; define mitigation strategies and contingency plans.
Translate technical blockers and security risks into clear business impact statements for leadership and product stakeholders.
Demonstrate resilience and decisiveness in high-pressure environments such as SOC, Threat Research, or Incident Response operations.

Technical Ownership & Domain Expertise

Own and manage the Threat Research execution queue, ensuring alignment with product and platform priorities.
Apply a strong understanding of the cybersecurity threat landscape, including CVEs, CVSS scoring, exploit maturity (PoC vs. weaponized exploits), and vulnerability lifecycle.
Ensure seamless handoff of research outputs into productization and engineering workflows.

Metrics, Dashboards & Reporting

Define and track KPIs to measure program health, delivery performance, risk posture, and operational efficiency.
Design, script, and maintain automated dashboards using tools such as JIRA, Salesforce, Tableau, APIs, SQL, or Python.
Deliver clear, data-driven insights to technical teams and executive leadership.

Process Excellence & Tooling

Configure, maintain, and optimize program management tools (JIRA, Salesforce, Confluence) to support scalable execution.
Drive continuous improvement of workflows, operating models, and Agile practices to enhance efficiency and quality.
Own the team’s information architecture in Confluence, enforcing a “documentation-first” culture—no operational process exists unless it is documented.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or Project Management within technology-driven organizations.
Strong expertise in SDLC, Agile methodologies, and program execution at scale.

Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
Proven ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving, and high-stakes environments.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working in the cybersecurity domain, including vulnerability management, threat research, SOC, or incident response.
Familiarity with SQL and/or Python for data extraction, analysis, and reporting.
Experience supporting or leading programs involving security research, platform engineering, or cloud-scale products.
