Director, Technical Program Management

About the role

Cyberhaven is building the AI-native data security platform for the agentic enterprise. Our data lineage technology traces the full lifecycle of enterprise data across endpoints, browsers, SaaS, and cloud, and that foundation has made us a market leader in DLP and DSPM. It's also the launch pad for the next generation of products we're bringing to market. We are looking for a Director of Technical Program Management to own end-to-end planning and execution across Cyberhaven's most complex, cross-organizational product initiatives. This role is accountable for release predictability, execution visibility, and operating discipline across the entire engineering organization, not a single team or program, but the system of programs that make up Cyberhaven's roadmap. This is an individual contributor role: influence and impact are driven through expertise, judgment, and cross-functional leadership rather than headcount or direct reports. The person in this role is expected to operate as a peer to engineering leadership, shaping strategy and operating cadence at the organizational level while still being hands-on with the planning, tracking, and execution work itself. This role also serves as the primary architect of engineering leadership's monthly and quarterly business reviews, providing decision support, surfacing risk, and driving follow-through across the company's highest-priority engineering programs. This role goes well beyond traditional program management. It requires deep technical fluency to engage credibly with senior engineering leaders and architects, strong executive presence and organizational judgment to shape leadership priorities, and systems-level thinking to turn fragmented operational signals into the metrics, reporting, and AI-enabled automation that let Cyberhaven scale how it plans, tracks, communicates, and reviews technical work.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end planning, execution, and coordination across Cyberhaven's most complex, multi-team, cross-organizational programs, partnering directly with engineering and product leadership
• Set the strategy for how Cyberhaven improves predictability in its release model, including how scope changes, readiness risks, and cross-team dependencies are tracked and escalated
• Architect and run the engineering operating cadence, including monthly and quarterly business reviews, by consolidating team updates, preparing leadership readouts, and driving follow-through on action items at the executive level
• Partner with engineering leadership to translate company and organizational strategy into clear execution plans, success criteria, reporting standards, and operating mechanisms across the entire engineering org
• Define and standardize org-wide success metrics across quality, release health, and velocity, driving greater predictability company-wide while enabling team-specific metrics
