Senior Technical Program Manager, Security Risk and M&A Security

About the role

This role is a hands-on building role as much as an operating one. You will mature both capabilities from pilot into embedded, business-as-usual process, and build the operating cadence and visibility that make them stick.

Responsibilities

• Mature AI-assisted security exception management from pilot to embedded business process — our Assurance Engineering team builds the workflow; you own the program around it (requirements, rollout, adoption, intake, triage, service-level agreements, and the escalation path for past-due items), and you design the intake experience to meet engineers where they already work so the fast path is also the right path
• Take KRI dashboards from pilot to a tool leadership relies on — partner with Assurance Engineering, who build it; you define, in partnership with domain leads, what leadership needs to see and how it gets used, and you own adoption and accuracy
• Run the Security Risk Management operating cadence — drive periodic risk reviews with the CISO and security leadership, run the annual enterprise security risk assessment, and apply our security risk assessment framework to new risk intakes so risks are consistently identified, assessed, and routed to owners
• Own program reporting and visibility for Security Risk Management: operating cadence, dashboards, and executive updates
• Keep the M&A security integration program running in steady state — maintain integration tracking across active acquisitions, support new acquisitions through the established M&A security integration playbook, and identify and execute improvements to the playbook where you find gaps
• Drive stalled work to a decision — when a timeline slips, escalate or push a risk-acceptance call so the blocker resolves
• Partner across teams to land cross-functional dependencies

Requirements

5+ years in security or risk program operations, technical program management, consulting, or a comparable role, with a track record of owning programs end to end and driving them to a closed state

Genuine security risk management fluency — you understand how security risk gets identified, assessed, owned, and accepted, and you can hold your own with security domain experts; command of the discipline matters here more than any specific job title; experience managing program or delivery risk alone (scope, schedule, dependencies) is not enough for this role

A builder's mindset, required for this role — you build capabilities and operational process where little exists, going deep into the exception data, workflow logic, and metrics, and partnering hands-on with Assurance Engineering on what gets built without needing to write the code; you set up intake, service-level agreements, escalation paths, and metrics, then drive adoption so they stick

A strong bias for action and sound judgment under imperfect information — you prioritize and reprioritize as things shift, present clear decisions and trade-offs, and keep work moving instead of looping; you know when to escalate or force a risk-acceptance call when something stalls

You use AI tools effectively to multiply your impact, so a lean team delivers well beyond its size

A real understanding of what it takes to provide ongoing visibility, with clear, concise communication that gives leadership a live view of risk, blockers, and progress
