Senior Technical Program Manager, Security

SailPoint

5d • $97,900 - $165,082 • Remote

About The Position

SailPoint is seeking a Technical Program Manager to act as the operational backbone for a product security program. This role involves managing over 12 concurrent initiatives, a growing portfolio of business-as-usual (BAU) security operations, and coordinating efforts across all engineering organizations. The position will drive execution in areas such as security architecture reviews, tooling evaluations, vendor procurements, pipeline buildout, and cross-functional programs involving Product, Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, and the CISO organization. The program encompasses near-term initiatives like production access controls and CI/CD security gates, mid-term initiatives such as customer code governance and BYOK architecture, and continuous BAU activities including design reviews and AI security reviews. The Technical Program Manager will be responsible for maintaining the operational rhythm to ensure all aspects of the program move forward effectively.

Requirements

• 7+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years managing security, infrastructure, or platform engineering programs.
• Demonstrated experience managing 10+ concurrent initiatives with cross-functional dependencies across engineering organizations.
• Experience managing vendor procurement processes for security or engineering tooling, including evaluations, POCs, and contract execution.
• Familiarity with security program domains: application security, cloud security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, and identity/access management. You do not need to be a practitioner, but you need to understand the landscape.
• Proficiency with program management tooling (Jira, Confluence, spreadsheet-based trackers) and the ability to build and maintain program tracking without dedicated PMO infrastructure.
• Strong written communication. You will produce the executive status updates, quarterly reviews, and decision packages that leadership uses to evaluate program health and make investment decisions.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
• US citizenship is required due to FedRAMP requirements.
• This is a remote role within the United States.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building or maturing a security, infrastructure, or platform program operating model — intake, quarterly planning, weekly execution rhythm, BAU transition, and portfolio capacity planning across concurrent initiatives.
• Prior ownership of DevSecOps, CI/CD security, or SCM/toolchain programs (e.g., pipeline security gates, developer tooling migration, cloud asset governance).
• Identity and access security program coordination, including production access controls, non-human identity, or similar IAM-adjacent initiatives.
• Experience coordinating security review and operations programs — design/architecture reviews, AI security reviews, red team vendor engagement, and security champions.
• Track record delivering executive quarterly program reviews, procurement decision packages, and semi-automated metrics reporting (aging, throughput, SLA adherence) for security or engineering programs.
• SaaS or enterprise product security experience in audit- or compliance-sensitive environments, with demonstrated ability to influence engineering leadership and resolve cross-org dependencies without direct authority.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted and agent-orchestrated workflows to accelerate planning, tracking, and communication across complex, multi-team programs, with sound judgment about when automation helps and when human oversight is required.
• Proven ability to design and maintain program tracking in Jira and Confluence that drives accountability and executive-ready visibility.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution of 12+ concurrent product security initiatives across near-term, mid-term, and continuous horizons, keeping each with a current status, next milestone, owner, timeline, and documented dependencies.
• Maintain the initiative roadmap as a living document, run the weekly tracking cadence, flag drifting work, and escalate blockers before they become delays.
• Map and actively manage cross-team dependencies across DevOps, Platform Engineering, FinOps, Architecture, Product, Engineering Directors, and the CISO organization.
• Build trusted relationships with engineering leaders whose teams support active initiatives, making cross-team coordination frictionless rather than adding process.
• Manage the full vendor and procurement pipeline, giving every engagement a clear status, next action, owner, and timeline, and eliminating procurement surprises.
• Drive vendor engagements through the front door process, coordinating evaluators, scoping POCs, compiling results, and preparing decision packages for leadership.
• Track recurring BAU work — design and architecture reviews, AI security reviews, red team operations, security champions, and metrics — against capacity so the Director can see where the team has room for additional work.
• Produce executive-ready status updates, quarterly program reviews, and decision packages that leadership uses to evaluate program health and make investment decisions.
• Steer the program with data such as aging, throughput, and SLA adherence, sizing risk in concrete terms for both technical and executive audiences.
• Build and maintain program tracking in Jira and Confluence, establish a consistent intake process for new initiatives, and apply AI-assisted workflows with sound judgment about when automation helps and when human oversight is required.
