Job summary

We are seeking a Technical Project Manager to join our Trust team. This role is designed for someone who thrives on variety, moves fast, and gets critical initiatives across the finish line. You'll jump into high-priority technical projects across the organization and establish structure and cadence, drive execution, and then move to the next challenge. You'll own 2-3 month delivery cycles on projects that cannot fail, working with technical teams across security, compliance, PKI operations, product and engineering. You'll build partnerships quickly, navigate ambiguity, and deliver results in unfamiliar domains.


What you will do

  • Drive critical, time-bound initiatives to completion across security, compliance, and PKI operations teams.
  • Establish project structure and cadence where none exists. You may walk into ambiguity, but you’ll need quickly assess what's needed, build stakeholder alignment, and create sustainable rhythms that keep work moving.
  • Coordinate technical work across engineering, security, and operations teams. You'll track dependencies, understand technical blockers well enough to escalate intelligently, and translate technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Build trust rapidly with cross-functional partners. You'll work with teams you don't manage, in domains you're learning, and you'll need to earn credibility through execution and relationship-building.
  • Identify and escalate risks before they become problems. You won't have all the technical answers, but you'll know when something's off-track and how to get the right people engaged.
  • Communicate progress and blockers clearly to executive stakeholders. You'll translate technical complexity into business impact and keep leadership informed without becoming a bottleneck.
  • Manage dependencies across teams with competing priorities. You'll coordinate engineering, compliance, operations, and business teams.
  • Context-switch effectively between different technical domains. You'll ramp up quickly and stay focused.

What you will have

  • 3-5+ years of technical project management experience in technical environments (security, infrastructure, compliance, or enterprise software). You should be comfortable sitting in engineering standups, following technical discussions, and asking clarifying questions when needed.
  • Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure and security fundamentals. You don't need to architect systems, but you should understand concepts like APIs, cloud deployments, access controls, and security compliance enough to coordinate work and identify technical risks.
  • Proven ability to drive results without direct authority. You've coordinated cross-functional work where success depended on influence, not hierarchy.
  • Strong stakeholder management instincts. You know when to push, when to listen, and how to keep people engaged without burning goodwill.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and rapid learning. You won't know everything walking into a project, but you'll figure it out quickly and ask smart questions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You can distill complexity, write clear status updates, and communicate bad news without creating panic.
  • Experience with project management tools and methods (Jira, Asana, or similar). You're not dogmatic about methodology—you use what works.
  • Scrappy execution mindset. You do what needs to be done to deliver results.

Nice to have

  • Exposure to security, compliance, or infrastructure work (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO audits, PKI, cryptography)
  • Experience managing projects with external dependencies or regulatory requirements
  • Track record of successful project delivery in fast-moving or high-stakes environments

Benefits

  • Generous time off policies
  • Top shelf benefits
  • Education, wellness and lifestyle support
