About The Position

Cyera is seeking a technical, self-directed Technical Program Manager to run security programs and projects in the Office of the CISO and build the program management function for the team. The role works closely with Security, IT, Engineering, and the Tel Aviv team to advance initiatives and keep stakeholders aligned.

The person in this role will establish the team’s operational rhythm, create standardized workflows, and define how projects are managed. The role leads security programs through their full lifecycle, coordinates cross-functional and geographically distributed work, provides clear executive reporting, and develops processes and standards for managing security work. Compensation is listed as $100,000–$120,000 total compensation. The role includes a standard benefits and equity package.

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience managing technical programs or projects, ideally in a fast-moving, cloud-based company.
Background in cybersecurity, software development, or cloud infrastructure; a security program background is strongly preferred.

Proven ability to run cross-functional projects without direct authority and hold people to commitments.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level status reporting.
Self-starter able to build structure and process where little exists.
