Senior Technical Program Manager

About Affirm and InfoSec

Role overview

What you’ll do

• Lead technical security programs from planning through delivery, aligning Information Security, IT, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Product partners on scope, milestones, ownership, and outcomes.
• Turn security priorities and risk assessments into executable roadmaps that balance risk reduction with engineering capacity and business needs.
• Participate in architecture reviews and threat-modeling discussions, clarify technical tradeoffs, and translate security requirements into engineering deliverables.
• Manage dependencies, risks, and delivery commitments across teams; resolve blockers and escalate decisions with options and recommendations.
• Coordinate vulnerability and security-finding remediation, support agreed service levels, and establish sustainable plans for complex or long-term issues.
• Establish planning, review, and decision-making processes that clarify accountability and improve execution as security programs scale.

What we look for

• 8+ years leading complex technical programs, including information security initiatives across multiple teams.
• Practical experience in one or more of product or platform security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, or risk assessment.
• Understand how security frameworks translate into technical controls.
• Turn ambiguous goals into achievable plans with milestones, dependencies, owners, and success measures; adapt as priorities and risks change.
• Improve program delivery through practical processes and meaningful metrics, using evidence and feedback to identify gaps and measure results.
• Build trust and influence without direct authority, align partners with competing priorities, and communicate complex technical topics clearly across a distributed organization.
