Job Description

We are seeking an Enterprise Security Program Manager to help drive execution across Security and IT initiatives, coordinate Security participation in enterprise and product programs, and improve the quality, consistency, and accessibility of security documentation.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who is highly organized, hands-on, and comfortable working across Security, IT, Engineering, Product, GRC, and enterprise program teams. The ideal candidate brings practical project/program management skills, strong documentation discipline, and a working understanding of security concepts and controls.

You will help create structure around security work, keep stakeholders aligned, track decisions and follow-through, and ensure key security documentation, evidence, and control information remains accurate, current, and easy to find.

Responsibilities

  • Plan, coordinate, and track Security and IT initiatives from kickoff through delivery, including scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, and status reporting.
  • Serve as an intake and coordination point for enterprise and product initiatives that require Security or IT participation.
  • Drive execution through lightweight program rhythms, including meeting cadence, action items, decision logs, RAID tracking, follow-ups, and stakeholder updates.
  • Maintain security program documentation systems, including structure, templates, version control, review cycles, ownership, and retirement of outdated content.
  • Write, edit, and improve security policies, procedures, standards, runbooks, and operating documentation in partnership with subject matter experts.
  • Support GRC program execution by maintaining evidence, control mappings, documentation, review schedules, and traceability to internal standards and applicable frameworks.
  • Partner with Security, IT, Engineering, Product, Enterprise PMO, Legal, and business stakeholders to ensure security work is clearly documented and aligned to delivery timelines.
  • Identify process gaps, documentation gaps, and coordination risks, and recommend practical improvements to improve visibility, accountability, and audit readiness.
  • Prepare clear summaries, dashboards, or status updates for leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience in a technical environment such as Security, IT, Engineering, Product Security, GRC, Technical Operations, or a related field.
  • 3 years of experience managing or coordinating technical projects, programs, or cross-functional initiatives.
  • Strong understanding of practical project/program management fundamentals, including planning, schedule tracking, stakeholder updates, and risk/issue follow-up.
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to create clear, structured documentation for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Working knowledge of enterprise security concepts and controls.
  • Ability to coordinate across teams, influence without direct authority, and drive follow-through in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort organizing large volumes of documentation, decisions, action items, and evidence.

Preferred Qualifications

  • PMP, CAPM, or formal project/program management training.
  • Exposure to security or compliance frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls, or similar.
  • Experience supporting GRC activities, internal controls, audit readiness, evidence collection, or compliance automation platforms.
  • Experience partnering with an enterprise PMO or supporting cross-functional delivery teams.
  • Experience coordinating product security reviews, security testing, vulnerability remediation, secure development initiatives, or engineering security intake.
  • Familiarity with technology organizations that develop connected products, cloud services, networking products, IoT products, or consumer/enterprise software.
  • Bilingual (English/Mandarin) written and verbal skills are a plus.

Tools & Platforms

  • Experience with, or willingness to learn:
  • JIRA or similar work tracking platforms.
  • Confluence and/or SharePoint.
  • Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Asana, Monday.com, or similar planning tools.
  • Compliance automation platforms such as Vanta or Drata.

  • Employer quarterly contributions to 401k funds
  • 15 days accrued vacation
