- Cross-functional program management: Partner with Product, Security, SRE, Data, and GTM teams (Sales, CS, Marketing) to deliver outcomes on time and at quality.
- Define and publish engineering metrics: Own the instrumentation of the system (DORA, quality, reliability, cost), create narratives, and ensure actions.

- Are an elite program operator, structured, proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of bringing clarity to ambiguity.
- Communicate exceptionally well, with the ability to write sharp exec memos, specs, dashboards, and concise decision logs.
- Can move seamlessly between boardroom and backlog, earning trust with engineers and GTM leaders alike.
What we're looking for

- Familiarity with security & compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR), cloud/SRE concepts, and data/AI fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with tools such as Jira/Linear, Notion/Confluence, GitHub, Airflow, Looker/Metabase, SQL, and incident tooling.
