Senior Tech Program Manager - Security

<p>Datavant is a data platform company and the world’s leader in health data exchange. Our vision is that every healthcare decision is powered by the right data, at the right time, in the right format.</p> <p>Our platform is powered by the largest, most diverse health data network in the U.S., enabling data to be secure, accessible and usable to inform better health decisions. Datavant is trusted by the world’s leading life sciences companies, government agencies, and those who deliver and pay for care. </p> <p>By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a high-performing, values-driven team. Together, we’re rising to the challenge of tackling some of healthcare’s most complex problems with technology-forward solutions. Datavanters bring a diversity of professional, educational and life experiences to realize our bold vision for healthcare.</p><p><strong>What We’re Looking For</strong></p> <p>The Tech Program Management team at Datavant drives execution across our most complex, high-priority technical initiatives. We contribute to the Product Operations goal of shipping software better and faster. Our work spans cross-functional domains, partnering with Product, Engineering, Security, and other stakeholders to bring structure, visibility, and forward motion to work that cuts across systems, teams, and business units.</p> <p>As a <strong>Senior Technical Program Manager - Security</strong>, you will own the delivery operating model for a set of high-impact programs aligned with our Security investments. You’ll partner closely with Security Engineering, Infrastructure, and Compliance teams to drive delivery of critical initiatives. These include application-layer protections, vulnerability management, asset inventory hygiene, identity and access management, and audit readiness. Depending on priorities, you may lean into one security domain or span several. In all cases, you bring structure, velocity, and clarity to complex, cross-functional work.</p> <p>This role requires deep experience managing complexity and ambiguity. You will be expected to define and evolve how the work flows: designing the planning cadences, coordination rhythms, and decision-making forums that enable progress and autonomy. You will interface directly with executive sponsors and ensure that your programs remain visible, aligned, and delivering impact. This is not a compliance coordination role or a check-the-box PMO role. We’re looking for someone who builds delivery systems that increase velocity and avoids process for process's own sake.</p> <p><strong>What You Will Do</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Drive delivery of high-impact security initiatives </strong>across both application-layer programs (such as vulnerability management, container scanning, and web application protection) and broader efforts such as identity and access management, audit readiness, and risk mitigation. </li> <li><strong>Translate strategic goals into program delivery plans</strong> that integrate technical dependencies, staffing constraints, and tradeoff decisions. Ensure outcomes are achievable, aligned, and owned.</li> <li><strong>Design and evolve the program’s operating rhythm</strong> by adjusting planning cycles, checkpoints, and forums as the initiative scales or priorities shift.</li> <li><strong>Set the delivery tempo</strong> across teams and functions. You clarify priorities, resolve misalignment early, and ensure execution stays anchored to outcomes even as context and stakeholder input evolve.</li> <li><strong>Drive decision-making sessions</strong> with engineering, product, and functional leads. Align teams on the path forward, surface tradeoffs, and ensure decisions are clearly communicated and documented.</li> <li><strong>Proactively identify delivery risks, architectural dependencies or decision gaps</strong>, and drive resolution across cross-functional stakeholders with minimal handholding.</li> <li><strong>Address friction points</strong> across tooling, process, or communication, and implement durable solutions that scale beyond your involvement.</li> <li><strong>Ensure program artifacts reinforce team autonomy and provide senior stakeholders with visibility</strong> into decisions, tradeoffs, and outcomes as the program evolves.</li> <li><strong>Communicate crisply</strong> with Product, Engineering, cross-functional partners and executive stakeholders. You tailor your message to the audience and ensure visibility into status, blockers, and outcomes.</li> <li><strong>Interface directly with executive sponsors </strong>to align on priorities, surface risks, and provide clear visibility into progress and outcomes.</li> <li><strong>Anticipate and align program timelines with org-wide planning rhythms</strong> (e.g., roadmap reviews, security audits, launch cycles), ensuring visibility and coherence across related workstreams.</li> <li><strong>Contribute to shaping how Technical Program Management operates at Datavant.</strong> You’ll s
