About The Position

Cyera is seeking a technical, self-directed Technical Project Manager to lead security programs and projects in the Office of the CISO and build the project 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. Hands-on engineering is not required, but the position calls for enough technical grounding to participate in technical discussions, ask critical questions, and help structure strategic plans. The project manager will establish the team's operational rhythm, standardized workflows, and approach to managing projects. The role leads security initiatives from initial scoping through launch and closure; maintains roadmaps, milestones, ownership, dependencies, risks, and decisions; and drives execution across teams. It also coordinates work across functions and regions, communicates technical and non-technical information clearly, and provides leadership with concise status updates, dashboards, and briefings. The position will define intake, prioritization, tracking, planning, and reporting practices, and create templates and standards for the team. The compensation range is $100,000–$200,000 in total compensation. Final compensation depends on factors including experience, skills, qualifications, seniority, location, role requirements, and business considerations. The role may be eligible for merit increases and 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.

Responsibilities
