Technical Program Manager, Onebrief

• The ideal candidate is a motivated problem solver with a high degree of ownership
• You have a strong understanding of cloud-native software systems and software development processes
• You understand how software engineering and platform engineering teams partner to build and deploy great products and put them onto restricted networks
• More than technical expertise, you’re a strong communicator who creates clarity and can translate technical challenges into goals and risks that deliver measurable business outcomes
• 4–7 years in technical program or project management within a modern software environment (SaaS, cloud, or platform/infrastructure)
• Demonstrated delivery across multiple teams/services with clear outcomes and predictability
• Technical fluency: able to discuss cloud architecture (AWS; GovCloud familiarity a plus), Kubernetes/containers, CI/CD, observability, and secure deployment practices
• Experience operationalizing security/compliance work (POA&Ms, remediation programs) and partnering closely with security, infra, and product engineering
• Excellent written and verbal communication; executive‑ready status reporting and strong meeting facilitation
• Proficiency with delivery tooling and documentation (e.g., Linear, Notion) and comfort building lightweight dashboards/metrics

Desirable

• We’re hiring a Technical Program Manager to lead the engineering integration of acquired software companies across infrastructure, security, and product engineering
• You will build and execute plans, align stakeholders, and turn wholly independent technologies into a rationalized and unified solution
• A key focus area is creating clarity and translating technical blockers into clear, prioritized engineering work
• Own end‑to‑end delivery for 2–3 concurrent programs from scoping through rollout and sustainment
• Stand up program structures: objectives, scope, milestones, RACI, and success metrics
• Build integrated roadmaps, surface dependencies/critical paths, and run effective rituals (kickoffs, weekly syncs, risk reviews, demos, PIRs)
• Maintain decision logs and drive trade‑off calls to resolution
• Coordinate across Infrastructure & Security, Product & Design, and Engineering to align upstream requirements with executable plans
• Provide concise, data‑backed status to leadership and customers; tailor communication to technical and non‑technical audiences
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks (e.g., ATO/authorization bottlenecks, resource constraints, operational handoffs)
• Ensure delivery quality and compliance artifacts are complete and audit‑ready (e.g., STIGs, SBOMs, SSP updates)
• Lead blameless retrospectives and convert learnings into templates, playbooks, and tooling improvements
• What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)
• 30 days: You’ve mapped active programs, stakeholders, and systems; established a baseline delivery dashboard for one program
• 60 days: You’re leading execution for 1–2 initiatives, driving risk/issue resolution and predictable milestone delivery
• 90 days: You’ve delivered a meaningful milestone or launch, closed or de‑risked several POA&M items, and published a reusable program playbook or template
