Public Sector Technical Program Manager

Virtru•Tampa, FL

About The Position

While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we're doing something fundamentally different at Virtru. We're setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control. We've created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that's sparking an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we're not just protecting data; we're creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it. Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own best-in-class applications that showcase what's possible when you reimagine security from the ground up. Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, we're helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate — without compromise. Team Position and Details: As Virtru’s primary point of contact for Public Sector clients, you will lead end-to-end delivery of data-centric security solutions in highly regulated environments. You will partner closely with federal agencies and stakeholders to deeply understand mission objectives, translate them into technical requirements, and drive secure deployments, integrations, and value realization. Collaborating across Virtru’s engineering, product, security, and delivery teams, you will manage schedules, mitigate risks, ensure compliance (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST, CMMC), and consistently exceed client expectations—delivering mission-critical encryption, policy enforcement, and secure sharing capabilities on time and within scope.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience; relevant certifications like PMP, CISSP, or Security+ strongly preferred)
5-7+ years of technical project/program management experience, including 3+ years delivering IT/security solutions, software deployments, or data protection implementations in regulated environments
Proven expertise in federal compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST 800-53/171, CMMC, FISMA) and acquisition processes (FAR/DFARS), with ability to analyze requirements, evaluate secure systems, and drive compliant implementations
Strong technical knowledge of data security technologies, including encryption (at-rest/in-transit), access controls, identity management, and integration with platforms like Microsoft 365 Government, Google Workspace, AWS GovCloud, or Azure Government
Experience leading Agile/hybrid projects for mission-critical deliverables: requirements gathering, technical roadmapping, risk/issue resolution, dependency management, and on-time/on-budget execution in cross-functional teams (engineers, security, partners)
Exceptional leadership and communication skills to motivate teams, hold stakeholders accountable, translate complex technical/security concepts for federal clients/executives, and manage expectations during implementations
Superior organizational skills with proficiency in project tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, MS Project) to juggle multiple concurrent projects, track technical milestones, and adapt to evolving requirements or threats

Nice To Haves

Strong knowledge of data-centric security concepts, including persistent encryption, granular access controls (e.g., ABAC), key management, and revocation mechanisms across data at-rest, in-transit, and in-use
Hands-on experience deploying or integrating enterprise encryption and data protection solutions with collaboration platforms such as Microsoft 365 (GCC High/DoD environments), Google Workspace, email systems, file shares, or SaaS tools
Familiarity with policy enforcement, dynamic access decisions, audit logging, and secure sharing workflows in regulated or high-security settings
Proven ability to implement Zero Trust data protection models, including integration with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government) and hybrid/on-prem/air-gapped deployments for compliance (FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53/171, CJIS)
Technical proficiency to translate encryption, access control, and compliance features into mission requirements during requirements gathering, solution architecture, client discussions, and risk assessments

Responsibilities

Lead requirements gathering with product teams and federal clients; translate mission needs into detailed technical specs for data protection (encryption, policies, integrations) aligned with FedRAMP, NIST, and CMMC
Create and maintain project plans defining deployment phases (architecture, integration, testing, rollout); identify/mitigate risks, negotiate scope changes, and ensure on-time/on-budget delivery per contract SLAs
Run project kickoffs with clients to confirm goals, assumptions, and Virtru processes; coordinate internal Agile/hybrid efforts across engineering, security, and product to track dependencies and milestones
Act as primary technical liaison; communicate requirements to engineering/product teams and drive development, testing, and delivery of features like encryption controls and GovCloud platform integrations
Establish processes for post-launch support, maintenance, sustainment, and enhancements; manage compliance updates and new requests while protecting schedule, budget, and client satisfaction
Partner with Product Managers, Sales, and Customer Support team members to handle evolving requirements; balance changes with technical feasibility and federal priorities to maintain project health and strong relationships
Proactively identify and mitigate technical/project risks (integration issues, security gaps, regulatory changes); collaborate with teams and clients to resolve blockers and deliver secure, high-quality outcomes
Lead in-person/virtual client engagements (including Tampa-area travel as needed) to convey Virtru’s data-centric security value, troubleshoot issues, and drive adoption in secure/classified environments
Must be willing to travel within the greater Tampa, FL area (and occasionally beyond) for on-site customer engagements, technical deployments, or support in secure/classified settings
