• Build program structures for emerging security domains, including program charters, roles, timelines, communication strategies, and success metrics.
• Manage security aspects of infrastructure partnerships, including contract requirements, relationship management, and security assurance processes.
• Lead stakeholder communication and executive reporting through status updates, company-wide communications, program reviews, and visibility into milestones, blockers, and risks.

Requirements

• Experience driving cross-functional projects, building longer-running programs, and working with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Deep interest in or willingness to learn about cybersecurity or regulatory compliance.
• Experience leveraging large language models to automate workflows, improve operational efficiency, and develop solutions to complex technical and organizational challenges.

• A track record of organizing, implementing, and managing complex programs and projects.
• Ability to work through trade-offs, balance competing priorities, and adapt when circumstances or perspectives change.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• A field of study relevant to the role, demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Compensation

• Annual salary: $290,000–$365,000 USD
