You will own the day-to-day project delivery cadence — driving agile ceremonies, managing project budgets, mitigating risks, and providing stakeholder reporting. Additionally, you will contribute to strategic roadmap planning, coordinate with Release Management and Compliance teams, and collaborate with vendors and procurement to ensure contractual deliverables are met on time and within scope.

Ensure the product backlog is continuously groomed, prioritized, and that delivery progress adheres to committed timelines and sprint goals. Manage multiple concurrent projects at various stages of the delivery lifecycle. Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify, document, assess, and manage project risks and issues using structured frameworks e.g., RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) logs. Implement corrective actions to mitigate risks, escalate appropriately, remove impediments, and maintain delivery performance on track. Budget Management : Manage project budgets across all cost categories (technology, labor, professional services, miscellaneous expenses). Monitor and report on actual spend versus planned spend; forecast variances and recommend corrective actions to maintain financial alignment. Project Monitoring & Status Reporting: Provide tiered reporting (executive, management, team-level) on cybersecurity project delivery performance across key dimensions: Timeline, Budget, Scope, Quality, and Risks & Issues.

These are areas where you actively participate and drive project-level execution, in partnership with other teams or leadership: Strategic Planning & Roadmap Alignment: Contribute to the development and maintenance of the cybersecurity product and project roadmap in alignment with organizational goals. Ensure outcomes from quarterly planning sessions (e.g., Program Increment (PI) Planning, Big Room Planning) are translated into actionable delivery plans and managed according to strategic priorities.

Partner with compliance, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), and risk teams to embed security and regulatory requirements into project execution. Vendor Management: Collaborate with third-party vendors, procurement, and service providers to ensure quality, on-time delivery of contracted work. Contribute to vendor selection activities including Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quote (RFQ), and Statement of Work (SOW)development. Manage tracking of SOW deliverables, milestone completion, vendor performance reviews, and on-time invoicing.
