Position Summary

We are seeking a seasoned IT Program Manager to own the strategy, governance, and end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of large Information Security (cyber) programs.

• Proactively identify staffing gaps and constraints across the portfolio, recommending hiring, reallocation, or vendor augmentation to mitigate delivery risk.
• Lead, mentor, and develop the Project Managers on your team — setting clear expectations, fostering accountability, and building a bench of PM talent.

Budget Management:

• Own end-to-end financial management for the full security program portfolio, including budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and benefits tracking.
• Ensure financial transparency and accuracy to meet departmental planning, reporting, and governance requirements.
• Partner with Finance and leadership to optimize spend, ensure value realization, and drive informed investment decisions across the portfolio.

Risk, Compliance & Stakeholder Alignment:

• Build and maintain strong partnerships with Security, Infrastructure, Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, Business leaders, and third-party vendors.
