This role will support a large-scale enterprise data platform migration, with a primary focus on coordinating cybersecurity requirements, technical dependencies, and execution across multiple technology teams.

The Technical Program Manager will work closely with Cybersecurity, Engineering, Architecture, Data and Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, and Product teams to ensure security requirements and technical dependencies are identified, assigned, sequenced, and delivered throughout the migration.

This is a hands-on technical program leadership position requiring strong cybersecurity knowledge, technical fluency, and experience navigating complex enterprise environments. This is not a traditional PMO or status-reporting role.

Job Description As a Technical Program Manager, you will provide end-to-end cybersecurity program coordination for a complex enterprise data platform migration. You will bring structure, visibility, and accountability to work spanning multiple technical teams while proactively identifying dependencies, risks, blockers, and decisions that could impact key migration milestones.

The ideal candidate is a technically fluent program leader who can participate credibly in cybersecurity and engineering discussions, translate technical considerations into actionable program plans, and drive cross-functional teams toward decisions and successful delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

Drive end-to-end cybersecurity program coordination for an enterprise data platform migration.

Establish and maintain an integrated view of cybersecurity requirements, dependencies, milestones, ownership, sequencing, risks, and critical-path activities.

Identify security and technical dependencies early and ensure they have clear owners, delivery dates, and resolution plans.

Coordinate across Cybersecurity, Architecture, Engineering, Data and Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, and other enterprise teams.

Facilitate technical discussions to resolve security architecture, integration, dependency, sequencing, and ownership issues.

Identify gaps, conflicting assumptions, unresolved decisions, and delivery risks before they impact migration milestones.

Drive decisions and accountability when ownership or dependencies cross organizational boundaries.

Maintain clear visibility into critical dependencies, blockers, risks, decisions, milestones, and overall program health.

Provide concise, executive-level reporting focused on outcomes, risks, dependencies, decisions, and required actions.

Bring structure and accountability to complex, cross-functional initiatives and follow through on critical work through completion.
