What You'll Do:
- Own the quarterly OKR and project backlog process with the IT Director, scoring, sequencing, and staffing initiatives against team capacity and budget
- Drive cross-project initiatives spanning IT Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Operations, keeping scope, timelines, dependencies, and risk visible
- Build and run the IT/Cyber change management program end to end
- Maintain the reporting and dashboards leadership needs to see program health at a glance
- Drive the SOX ITGC, SOC 2, and IPO-readiness security roadmap, including remediation of risk assessment and penetration test findings
- Track vulnerability management, access reviews, and vendor risk assessments against SLAs with Cybersecurity
- Lead vendor evaluations and system implementations from requirements to go live and beyond
- Facilitate planning and resolve cross-team dependencies across IT/Cyber and partner functions (Engineering, Operations, People Ops, Legal, Finance)
- Represent IT/Cyber program status to executive, board, and audit stakeholders as needed
Who You Are:
Experience
- 5+ years in a technical program/project management role within IT and/or Information Security, ideally including at least one SOX/SOC 2 audit cycle or comparable compliance program

Technical Competencies
- Strong working knowledge of IT infrastructure, enterprise applications, and security fundamentals (identity/access management, network segmentation, vulnerability management) sufficient to make informed scoping and design tradeoffs

- Comfortable reading vendor documentation, RFP responses, and security assessments critically
Soft Skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication. Able to translate between technical detail and executive level summary

- Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered
- Early-stage Stock Options
- Robust Retirement Savings (401k, HSA, FSA)
