Senior Technical Program Manager

Motive is seeking a Senior Security Technical Program Manager to drive execution of the Security & Privacy Roadmap and other high-priority security risk-reduction programs. You will turn complex security and privacy goals into sequenced, measurable plans; align Security, Product, Engineering, Privacy, Legal, and business partners; and make risks, dependencies, resourcing needs, and decisions visible to executives. You will play a central role in quarterly security planning and in preparing clear, evidence-based, board-ready updates. This role is well suited to a hands-on program leader who can move between technical detail and executive narrative, and who measures success by durable risk reduction and shipped outcomes, not activity alone.

Responsibilities

Own roadmap execution for the Security & Privacy Roadmap from intake and prioritization through delivery and operational handoff; drive cross-functional execution of risk-reduction programs (identity and access management, authorization, vulnerability remediation, auditability, data protection and retention, privacy controls, security assurance); lead quarterly security planning, capacity and sequencing discussions, and prioritization trade-offs; establish operating rigor through program reviews, plans, RAID logs, decision records, and dashboards; prepare accurate, board-ready executive and board materials and validate claims with accountable teams; build partnerships across technical and nontechnical stakeholders and facilitate decisions when priorities conflict; improve the security program operating model and identify recurring delivery, governance, or measurement gaps

Requirements

7+ years of experience leading complex technical programs; meaningful experience in cybersecurity, product security, privacy, or a closely related risk-management domain; track record of delivering multi-team programs across engineering and business functions, including work with senior leaders and teams that do not report to you; strong program-management fundamentals (integrated plans, dependency and critical-path management, risk and issue resolution, capacity planning, change control, outcome-based reporting); ability to understand security architecture and control objectives well enough to ask precise questions and translate technical details into business impact; excellent executive writing and presentation skills, including experience producing concise leadership updates or board-level materials grounded in verified evidence; demonstrated AI-first mindset in executing programs; sound judgment in prioritizing risk and surfacing trade-offs; collaborative, low-ego approach and ability to create accountability through influence, structure, and clear communication; must be authorized to receive and access commodities and technologies controlled under U.S. Export Administration Regulations

Nice to have

Experience in a SaaS or technology company with complex products, customer data, and cross-functional security ownership; familiarity with security and privacy programs such as IAM and authorization, vulnerability management, data lifecycle controls, incident remediation, audit readiness, or privacy engineering; experience defining program metrics, risk indicators, control evidence, and executive dashboards

Benefits

Health, pharmacy, optical and dental care benefits; paid time off; sick time off; short term and long term disability coverage; life insurance; 401k contribution; possible restricted stock units (subject to eligibility requirements)
