About the role
Customers are looking for a Program Lead to turn global cyber regulations into a concrete, sequenced technical plan for their internal teams to execute against, and to drive that plan through delivery. The person will be hand-in-glove with customer Product Manager, who owns the broader roadmap and lifecycle. You will draft the technical directions and track delivery.
Responsibilities
- Draft the technical roadmap and execution plan for CRA compliance and adjust it as requirements evolve.
- Translate regulatory requirements into concrete technical proposals: what the platform needs to capture or expose for SBOMs, vulnerability handling, audit documentation.
- Drive engineering tracking for the CRA program. Assign-and-track work, surface risks, keep delivery on schedule.
- Represent CRA in meetings and stakeholder conversations with legal, compliance, other platform teams, and engineering leadership, so requirements are understood once and built once.
- Coordinate with the Product Manager who owns our core platform to sequence CRA work against everything else on that roadmap.
- Unblock the engineers implementing the work day-to-day. You don't manage them, but you keep them moving.
Who You Are
- AI-native in how you work, even outside of code. You default using AI to track requirements, draft technical proposals and roadmaps, and synthesize stakeholder input, not do it by hand.
- Comfortable bringing order to genuine ambiguity, where requirements are still being written and no precedent exists yet.
- Experienced translating a regulatory or compliance requirement into a technical plan. Doesn't have to be CRA specifically, but you've done this kind of translation before.
- Comfortable being the face of a program: running meetings and managing stakeholders you don't manage, without someone else in the room.
- Technically credible that your draft proposals hold up to engineering scrutiny.
- Organized enough to own delivery tracking for a multi-team initiative without letting things slip.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in any field, or demonstrated equivalent experience.
- Demonstrated fluency using AI as a default part of how you research, plan, and write.
- Experience in a technical program management, technical lead, or similar hybrid role, owning both technical direction and delivery tracking for cross-functional or ambiguous initiatives.
- Experience with security, compliance, or regulatory requirements (SBOMs, vulnerability disclosure, secure-by-design, audit documentation).
- Direct CRA experience is a plus, not required.
- Track record working closely with a product manager as a technical or program counterpart, including coordinating with other PMs and stakeholders outside your immediate team.
- Strong enough grasp of software architecture to draft technical proposals that engineers and the PM can trust, even without owning final sign-off.
