About the Role:

We are CrowdStrike, a fast-growing security company that protects our wide range of customers from cybersecurity attacks. We’re investing in program manager leaders who are energetic, eager to learn, flexible and capable of managing large scale/complex engineering projects in a fast-paced environment while holding teams and leaders accountable at all levels. 
 

As a Director of Program Management in Engineering, you’ll be responsible for supporting three key Product Groups: Cloud Security, Identity Protection, and Data Security. You’ll be responsible for directly and fully supporting and engaging in the work, projects and overall support of processes and PgM resources in these areas:

• Cloud Security which enables the security and resiliency of cloud environments and applications, working to extend CrowdStrike’s mission of “stopping breaches” into the public cloud and cloud native workloads, helping customers understand how adversaries may exploit these resources to advance their modes of interest.

• Identity Protection whose mission is to protect workforce identities, allowing us to view the full authentication footprint and attack surface associated with it, and ensure proper controls are in place. 

• Data Security whose mission is to use Zero Trust principles to seamlessly secure critical business data from Insider Threats and External Attackers, and enable authorized employees to securely collaborate with partners, suppliers and customers. 

Your primary focus will be two-fold. You will be driving the strategic planning (cadence and consistency) of the roadmap in these areas, enabling effective leadership execution. Strategic planning will include the roadmap schedule, from long term planning (more than a year) to quarterly and project level execution; working with dev management task assignments, and managing schedule progress; from large phases through to detailed tasks, including understanding and managing dependencies within and across Product Groups. This will require working directly with Engineering Senior Leadership, Developers, Product Managers, and Dev Managers to ensure timely delivery and tactical execution against the roadmap. You will work closely across functional teams, and across geo-locations in Europe, the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United States to collaborate and ensure dependencies are well known, critical issues are identified and driven to resolution. 

In addition, you will be responsible for the people management of a growing team of Program Managers (11), including other people managers, in Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States. You’ll work in lock step with the PgM Senior Leadership team to bring consistency, clarity and successful outcomes that align to the processes and tooling that embody our Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), implementing best practices in your area of responsibility.
