Job Summary:

Fit for the Role:

We’re looking for a motivated Cybersecurity Project Manager to join our dynamic team and support customer-facing initiatives from planning through execution. In this role, you’ll manage the workflow of our Assessment Ready Team. The team onboards new customers, performs customer self-assessments, remediates issues, and assists customers with 3rd party assessments.

Your work may include but isn’t limited to creating and maintaining project plans, facilitating meetings, tracking changes and dependencies, and supporting implementation or deployment activities. You’ll collaborate closely with the Customer Success, Technical Teams, and other stakeholders to keep projects moving forward in a fast-paced startup environment.
This position provides hands-on exposure to customer success, implementation projects, and the day-to-day operations of a growing organization.

Fit for the Culture:

Speak your mind – Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do and our belief in diversity of people supports our goal for diversity in thought. Ardalysts (that’s just what we call ourselves) come ready to contribute and find solutions.

Act with independence – If you see a problem that needs solving, give a statement in the form of “I intend to (do this)”, then, get feedback, and carry out a solution.

Do research – When faced with uncertainty, take initiative to consult official documentation and reputable online resources. Summarize your findings and share them with the team to ensure clarity and alignment.

Prototype – The best solution is the fastest, minimally viable solution done against the principles defined for the goal. Create something quick, check in often, and iterate from there.

Focus On Your Strengths – We invest in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each employee so that you can shine at what YOU do best.

See Yourself Grow – Ardalysts have cited being encouraged to take educated risk, kick-start progress, and advance their skills as one of their favorite things about working at Ardalyst and we’re determined to keep it that way.

Bootstrapper – you can create new things, not just manage existing ones. You work well individually and as a team. You don't let fear of failure get in your way and keep trying until you have a breakthrough.

Innovator – once you have something built, you can systematize it, make it repeatable, and iterate on it to create improvement.

Geek – you crave the details, can't stop learning, and love to teach others.

To help understand our culture and operating model, we recommend you read Patrick Lencioni's "The Advantage" and David Marquet's "Turn the Ship Around!"
