Requirements

Candidates should have a strong background in security program management, product security, or security operations in fast-paced technical environments. They must be comfortable acting as the glue across multiple security functions, able to speak fluently across technical teams, and thrive in ambiguous situations while bringing structure and calm to fast-moving teams. Experience running product launch reviews, security sprints, or incident-like response processes with accountability and rigor is necessary, along with the ability to balance risk and velocity, and make informed tradeoffs under pressure. Proactive communication skills, the ability to build trust quickly, earn follow-through, and drive toward secure outcomes are also essential.

Responsibilities

The Security Program Manager will own security readiness for high-priority launches, coordinating reviews and driving the resolution of risks and blockers. This role involves orchestrating cross-functional security reviews with stakeholders from AppSec, InfraSec, GRC, and Offensive Security. Responsibilities include overseeing the resolution of bugs, risks, and exceptions, and maintaining clear documentation throughout the launch process. The manager will also own and evolve the launch-readiness process, defining criteria, codifying playbooks, and reducing ambiguity. They will communicate security posture to executive stakeholders with clarity and context, and partner with product and engineering leads to ensure security is an enabler, not a bottleneck.
