You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

As users entrust us with their most sensitive data, we meet that trust with a commitment to outpace increasingly sophisticated global threats. Within the Detection and Response (D&R) team, we analyze, detect, and neutralize these threats with relentless vigor.

As a Technical Program Manager in this group, you will support security operations by driving execution excellence. Your role is pivotal in ensuring accountability, providing transparency to leadership, and maintaining a culture of continuous delivery in a high-stakes environment.As a Technical Program Manager in this group, you will support security operations by driving execution excellence.
