Position Summary

Lincoln Electric is seeking a Senior Global Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead large, complex, enterprise-wide technology programs, with primary responsibility for the ‑PostQuantum‑ Cryptography (PQC) Readiness Program. This is a strategic, multiyear, global initiative designed to protect ‑long-lived data, prepare‑ emerging regulatory requirements, and ensure cryptographic resilience across Lincoln Electric’s IT and product environments.

 

As advances in quantum computing threaten existing cryptographic standards, this role will drive coordinated transformation across enterprise applications (on Prem and SaaS), infrastructure, cloud platforms, identity systems, networks, product development, and ‑third-party vendors. The Senior Global TPM will operate‑ at the intersection of cybersecurity, enterprise IT, infrastructure, cloud, and application engineering, providing integrated leadership across multiple workstreams and regions.

 

This role requires strong program and project management discipline, deep understanding of enterprise IT environments, and the ability to influence outcomes across highly matrixed global teams, including Product Development and Engineering.

 

This position is remote, however we are seeking an ideal candidate in the Eastern or Central time zones.

Key Responsibilities

Global Program Leadership

• Lead the end-to-end‑ delivery of large, multi‑year global programs composed of multiple workstreams and sub‑projects.
• Define and maintain the program's vision, roadmap, phases, milestones, success metrics, and value realization.
• Own overall program scope, schedule, budget, resourcing, risks, dependencies, and change management.
• Apply Waterfall, Agile, or hybrid delivery models based on workstream needs.
• Ensure alignment with Lincoln Electric’s enterprise IT strategy, cybersecurity risk posture, and business objectives.

Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Leadership

• Serve as the overall program lead for Lincoln Electric’s enterprise PQC readiness and transition.
• Coordinate the inventory, assessment, and prioritization of cryptographic assets across the environment, including:
• Encryption algorithms and cryptographic libraries
• Certificates, keys, PKI, and key management systems
• TLS/SSL, SSH, VPNs, APIs, and secure communications
• HSMs and cryptographic infrastructure
• Partner with Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Network, Cloud, Application Security, PKI/IAM, GRC, and Product teams to align with NIST approved, ‑quantum safe‑ standards.
• Establish governance models and operating processes to enable long-term‑ cryptographic agility.
• Assess vendor, platform, and product readiness for PQC and influence roadmap alignment.
• Monitor regulatory, compliance, and industry developments related to cryptography and quantum risk.

Key Responsibilities (Continued)

Workstream & Delivery Coordination

• Orchestrate multiple global workstreams such as:
• Awareness and education
• Environment hardening and tooling
• Cryptographic inventory and risk assessm
