We are developing a robust Identity Security program to secure internal services supporting our customer-facing products, focusing on non-human identities, shared accounts, privileged access, and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA). We seek a Technical Program Manager (TPM) with the technical expertise to connect security standards with practical implementation, driving these initiatives while collaborating with Product Security, Compliance, IT, and Engineering teams to accelerate adoption and ensure scalable, modern identity solutions. The TPM will join our Security Compliance team.

• Streamlining Processes: Operationalize identity security standards into practical workflows, integration patterns, and scalable processes, while enhancing credential rotation and onboarding efficiency
• Enabling App & Service Onboarding: Simplify onboarding of applications and services into IGA workflows and support transitions away from static credentials
• Improving Documentation & Alignment: Develop clear project plans, JIRA tickets, and technical guides while maintaining stakeholder alignment across Product Security, Compliance and Engineering
