The Information Security organization is responsible for protecting Seagate's global technology environment and enabling secure, resilient business operations. Within Information Security, Governance & Risk Management establishes the planning, risk, governance, and management disciplines that help translate cybersecurity priorities into coordinated and measurable execution aligned to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

The team works across Information Security, IT, business functions, and external partners to provide consistent governance, visibility, and accountability for cybersecurity initiatives and outcomes.

The Program Manager, Information Security supports the planning, governance, reporting, and execution discipline for the Information Security portfolio. The role helps provide clear visibility into priorities, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and outcomes so security leaders can manage initiatives with consistency and accountability.

This role requires project management experience in a cybersecurity or Information Security environment, with enough security context to understand program risks, dependencies, controls, and stakeholder needs while working closely with technical security teams.

• Manage Information Security projects and programs from planning through execution and closure, ensuring clear scope, ownership, milestones, dependencies, risks, and measurable outcomes.
• Establish consistent portfolio governance and project-management practices across Information Security initiatives.
• Partner with security leaders to translate Information Security priorities into executable plans and maintain an integrated portfolio roadmap.
• Facilitate portfolio reviews, operating reviews, project governance forums, and cross-functional working sessions; drive decisions, actions, and follow-through.
• Identify delivery risks, resource constraints, cross-project dependencies, and competing priorities; elevate issues when leadership decisions or trade-offs are required.
• Develop and maintain Information Security dashboards, KPIs, KRIs, project health indicators, RAID logs, decision logs, and portfolio reporting.
• Consolidate information from security teams into concise executive-level reporting that highlights progress, outcomes, risks, trends, trade-offs, and decisions required, while keeping technical delivery accountability with the responsible security teams.
• Support portfolio intake, planning, prioritization, budgeting, forecasting, and resource-planning activities for the Information Security portfolio.
• Coordinate major initiatives involving Information Security, IT, business functions, vendors, and managed service providers.
• Drive continuous improvement in project governance, reporting, operating cadence, and automation to improve execution discipline and reduce administrative overhead.
• This is an individual contributor role and does not have people management responsibilities.

The right individual for this role is organized, analytic, and execution-oriented, with the ability to bring structure to complex technical initiatives and drive accountability across teams without direct authority. You are comfortable working with cybersecurity leaders and technical teams while translating detailed program information into clear, concise communication for senior leadership.

• You focus on outcomes, accountability, and measurable progress rather than activity alone.
• You can work across multiple initiatives and stakeholders while maintaining a clear view of priorities and dependencies.
• You are data driven and able to turn operational and project information into actionable metrics and executive insights.
• You communicate clearly, challenge assumptions constructively, and surface risks or decisions early.

• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects through initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closure.
• Demonstrated experience establishing project governance, tracking dependencies and risks, and driving cross-functional execution without direct authority.
• Experience developing KPIs, KRIs, dashboards, status reporting, project health views, and executive-level presentations or management reporting.
• Working knowledge of common Information Security domains and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, including areas such as governance, risk, compliance, identity and access management, security operations, vulnerability management, cloud security, endpoint security, data protection, or application security.
