YOUR MISSION

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join the Security & Infrastructure PMO, dedicated to our Application Security and Platform Security teams in Long Beach. You will be the embedded program management partner to these two teams, driving execution from intake through delivery, running their operational rhythms, engaging with cross-functional software engineering teams, and keeping leadership's view of commitments and risk current and honest.

Application Security owns the security of the software we build: secure development practices, product and application security programs, vulnerability management, and the controls that keep our codebase and pipelines defensible. Platform Security owns the security of the environments that software runs in: cloud and platform security, identity and access management, infrastructure hardening, and the operational processes that keep those domains healthy.

Your job is to make both teams more predictable and more effective—turning technical work into tracked, milestone-oriented programs and surfacing conflicts before they become delivery problems. It is also part engagement manager and part product manager: the company's software engineering teams are App Security and Platform Security's customers, and you help understand their needs and shape how security capabilities are delivered back to them.

This is a dedicated role, but not a static one. Your primary charter is Application Security and Platform Security, and that is where you'll build the deepest context. As portfolio priorities shift, you should expect to flex across other Security & Infrastructure programs when the PMO needs it, bringing the same execution rigor wherever you're pointed.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Own end-to-end delivery for Application Security and Platform Security initiatives—building and maintaining the program plans, milestone schedules, and dependency maps in Jira, and driving them from intake through close
Run both teams' operational cadences—sprint/backlog grooming, weekly status, and quarterly planning—and keep backlog health and ticket hygiene good enough that status is trustworthy without a fire drill
Partner with the team leads on effort estimation, task decomposition, and resource alignment across concurrent workstreams; surface capacity conflicts and schedule risk early, with options
Serve the software engineering teams as the primary customers of App Security and Platform Security—intake their requests, set expectations on what security can deliver and when, and keep that channel active rather than reactive
Manage cross-functional dependencies with software engineering, IT, GRC, cloud/platform, and external vendors and assessors
Produce leadership-ready program visibility—milestone-oriented, risk-flagged, and current—including the roll-ups and tear-sheets the PMO uses for steering
Partner with the PMO Lead on roadmap planning: prioritization, capacity planning, and keeping the plan of record maintained as priorities shift
Flex to other Security & Infrastructure programs as portfolio demand requires, bringing the same execution discipline to an unfamiliar domain

QUALIFICATIONS

10+ years combining application and platform security with the technical program management of that work—deep in at least one domain (secure SDLC, vulnerability management, CI/CD pipeline security; cloud and infrastructure security, identity and access management), credible in the other, with a track record of owning and running programs end to end
Demonstrated ability to manage concurrent workstreams with cross-functional dependencies and external stakeholders
Strong Jira or equivalent proficiency; able to build and maintain structured tracking across multi-team portfolios
Comfortable operating where scope, priorities, and assignments shift with portfolio demand
Clear, direct communicator; able to simplify complex status for executive audiences and push back when warranted
U.S. citizenship required; clearable required
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Prior experience as an information security engineer who has since moved into technical program management (preferred over a TPM background without hands-on security experience)
Familiarity working directly with software engineering and platform/DevOps teams
Familiarity with NIST RMF, FedRAMP, or federal compliance environments
Experience in defense technology, aerospace, or DoD contractor environments
