The Data Security team is responsible for safeguarding the organization’s most
critical asset—its data—by ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability
across all platforms and environments.  Working at the intersection of
cybersecurity, data governance, and privacy, the Data Security team focuses on
capabilities such as data classification, encryption, secure data access, and
monitoring. The team partners closely with engineering, risk, and business units
to embed security controls throughout the data lifecycle—from creation and
storage to sharing and archival


We are seeking a hands-on Technical Project Manager to accelerate delivery
across our Data Security engineering teams. This role is embedded within
day-to-day engineering workflows and is accountable for ensuring that product
backlog priorities are translated into high-quality, demonstrable outcomes that
meet stakeholder needs.
 

This position is central to our transformation to a product-driven Data Security
organization, strengthening alignment between product intent and engineering
execution. A key differentiator is the active use of AI to improve backlog
quality, accelerate delivery, and increase the consistency and precision of
engineering outputs.
This role ensures that engineering teams are consistently working on the right
priorities with well-defined requirements, and delivering high-quality outcomes
that meet stakeholder expectations. By embedding AI into backlog management and
sprint execution, the role increases speed, reduces rework, and improves
consistency across teams, enabling more scalable and predictable delivery.
