- Drive project alignment by handling dependencies, guiding technical discussions, facilitating decision making, and ensuring the right conversations happen at the right time
- Influence outcomes by building trusted, strong partnerships across the organization
- Champion effective ways of working—finding the right balance of tools, structure & practices while continuously improving how we collaborate and deliver on our commitments
Required Experience
- 5+ years of program or project management experience in a cloud or SaaS environment supporting enterprise technology or security teams
- Strong understanding of information security principles and controls, including data protection, access management, and application security
- Ability to dive into technical details and apply that knowledge to drive alignment and solve complex challenges
- Experience communicating complex security risks and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Asana, Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion, Figma) and the judgment to apply them effectively based on team needs
Preferred Qualifications
