• 10+ years of Technical Program Management or equivalent technical program leadership experience, preferably within large enterprise environments.

• Cloud security


• Application and platform security


• Vulnerability management


• Logging and monitoring


• Security architecture




• Proven ability to manage complex technical dependencies, integration points, sequencing, critical paths, risks, and blockers across multiple teams.


• Technical fluency sufficient to participate in architecture and engineering discussions, identify dependencies, challenge assumptions, surface gaps, and recognize delivery risks.


• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to clearly communicate program health, critical dependencies, risks, decisions, and required actions.


• Ability to navigate organizational complexity, establish accountability, and drive decisions across teams with different priorities and ownership structures.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting large-scale enterprise data platform migrations or modernization initiatives.


• Experience working across cybersecurity, engineering, architecture, infrastructure, data, platform, and product organizations.
