Job Description

What You'll Do

Seeking a ninja-skilled Project Manager to organize, plan, schedule, and deliver on a dynamic portfolio of technical and cross-functional initiatives related to information security programs and security risk remediation.

The ideal candidate will take a pragmatic approach to ensuring continual progress across multiple overlapping assignments, holding themselves accountable for adding value through the project outcomes they drive and achieve.

The successful incumbent will be a hands-on, proactive self-starter who collaborates effectively with InfoSec leadership and our business partners across the organization.

Getting things done here requires persistence in clearing obstacles, applying just the right level of project management rigor, and working consistently with a due sense of urgency and velocity.

A high-performing Project Manager in this environment is first and foremost a leader by influence who uses the PMBOK, but that's only one of many tools in their arsenal.

They must also bring security domain expertise, internal consulting skills, willingness to be an additional pair of hands at times, and a relentless focus on setting, managing, and meeting stakeholder expectations.

Success means owning the initiatives and moving them through to completion vs. simply facilitating and documenting the work of others.

You'll need to know or learn the subject matter, look for other initiatives that might impact your assignments, and actively lead all assigned initiatives to success from launch to closure.

In addition to continually (re)prioritizing initiatives and executing on these priorities, the incumbent is responsible for sprint and milestone planning using Jira, backlog management, and ongoing status reporting to a variety of stakeholders and audiences.

A solid PM must do so much more than create and manage project schedules:

bring disparate stakeholders to consensus on charter, priorities, and timing.
drive organizational change and security maturity.
address operational issues and processes needing improvement.
define requirements and success criteria for targeted outcomes.
move the needle on security remediation and risk reduction.
handle project owner scope while getting leaders to handle service owner scope.

Reporting to the PMO Lead, this position will work responsively with multiple InfoSec Leaders to shape the plans and road map for InfoSec initiatives, ensuring accountability for timely completion of assigned and scheduled work.

They will use solid communication and collaboration skills to manage stakeholder expectations and participation, and to resolve or escalate issues to keep things moving forward.
