Senior Technical Program Manager

About the Opportunity

The organization is the trusted source for open source. By delivering hardened, secure, and production-ready builds of all the open source software engineers and AI agents rely on, the company helps organizations build faster, stay compliant, and eliminate risk. The company's security organization sits at the intersection of proactive, long-term initiatives and reactive, business-critical work. As the organization has grown, managing that balance, anticipating the downstream impact of changing priorities, and giving leadership a clear view of security risk and exposure have become increasingly important, and increasingly complex. This role is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to bring structure and visibility to this space. The individual will operate horizontally across the security organization, partnering with Product Security, Cyber Resiliency, and Governance & Trust. While they will be closely embedded with those teams in their day-to-day work, they will also help coordinate priorities, dependencies, and execution across the broader security organization. The impact of this role will extend well beyond security. Because security intersects with nearly every function at the company — including engineering, product, legal, finance, sales, and marketing — the individual will build the systems, processes, and relationships that enable effective collaboration across the company. This is a senior, strategic role with substantial room to grow. The individual will not inherit a fully defined playbook; they will help create it. They will 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.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting that give company leadership a clear, durable view of security risk, exposure, and program health.
• Partner closely with the primary security team on day-to-day execution while supporting the other two teams as priorities and capacity allow.
• Make and communicate prioritization decisions when demand exceeds the security organization’s capacity — including finding alternatives and helping stakeholders understand trade-offs, rather than simply saying no.
• Design and implement lightweight processes that help security teams operate more effectively without creating unnecessary overhead for engineers.
• Work directly with product, engineering, and other partner teams to establish clear, effective ways of working with security.
• As the role grows, extend impact beyond security by helping shape broader company processes, including how the organization approaches planning, prioritization, and cross-functional execution.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in program management, technical program management, or operations roles
• Meaningful experience in a broad, cross-functional operations or program management role, supporting many stakeholders across an organization rather than working within a single, self-contained team.
• Security experience is a plus, but not required. More important is the ability to operate effectively in a horizontal role with a large and diverse stakeholder group.
• A track record of building processes and exercising sound judgment in ambiguous environments, rather than defaulting to standard frameworks or playbooks.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to act as a strategic and consultative partner across functions.
• Experience managing competing priorities and communicating trade-offs, including difficult prioritization decisions, clearly and thoughtfully.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, scaling environment where processes are still being built and refined.

Additional Information

Security work at the company doesn’t follow a predictable schedule. Proactive initiatives and reactive, business-critical needs are constantly competing for the same time and attention. This role exists to bring structure to that tension — helping the security organization make deliberate choices about where to focus and how to respond when priorities inevitably shift. At the same time, company leadership needs a clearer, more consistent view of the security posture, risk, and exposure than there is currently a dedicated mechanism to provide. The individual will build that reporting infrastructure and make it durable as the organization grows. And because security intersects with nearly every part of the business, there will be an unusually broad view of how the company operates. Over time, there will be the opportunity to take what is learned in security and apply it to larger, org-wide programs and processes — helping shape not just how security works, but how the company works as a whole.
