Senior Staff Engineer - Technical Project Manager

Responsabilities:

• Lead scoping of assigned security initiatives from directional strategy into an executable plan -- sequencing, dependencies, resourcing, and concrete milestones.
• For the initial assignment: lead scoping of a multi-workstream security infrastructure initiative, including defining transition criteria for retiring legacy systems and executing planned decommissioning once those criteria are met.
• Own ongoing coordination, scheduling, and cross-team communication across security, network engineering, end-user computing, and cloud operations.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for external technical partners and vendors supporting initiative delivery, managing communications and holding delivery accountable to agreed scope, timelines, and SLAs.
• Maintain real-time visibility into initiative health -- tracking milestones, budget/resourcing burn, and risk logs -- and provide executive-level status updates to the CPO Leader and key stakeholders.
• Track dependencies, risks, and open decisions; keep documentation current as initiatives evolve.
• Partner with technical leads, who remain focused on technical design and build, rather than day-to-day coordination and tracking

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience scoping an initiative from directional strategy into an executable plan -- this is not a pure execution/tracking role, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of technical project management experience, including senior or lead-level ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives, or equivalent experience.
• PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or similar certification demonstrating mastery of both Agile and traditional project management methodologies, or equivalent experience.
• Strong technical fluency -- able to genuinely understand the engineering constructs of the initiatives they lead, even without a hands-on engineering background themselves.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; able to work across technical and business stakeholders without close oversight.
• Executive-ready communication skills -- comfortable presenting status and options to senior stakeholders, not just peers, and translating technical progress into clear, value-based narratives for non-technical audiences.
• High level of comfort with project management and collaboration tools such as Smartsheet, Google Workspace, Jira, Confluence, and AWS.
• Pragmatic, reliable, and action-oriented working style
