About the Role

We’re hiring a Technical Program Manager - Cyber Defense, Metrics and Business Intelligence to help the Cyber Defense organization turn fast-moving security work into clear programs, measurable outcomes, and executive-ready reporting.

This role sits at the intersection of Incident Response, Pen Testing, Enterprise Security, Cyber Defense, GRC, and executive stakeholders . It is not a traditional project management role — it combines strong TPM execution with Business Intelligence Engineering capabilities such as data modeling, metrics design, dashboarding, risk analysis, and source-of-truth management .

Your work will help Nscale scale security through mechanisms, not meetings . By bringing structure to ambiguous programs, exposing blockers early, and making security work evidence-backed and measurable, you’ll help strengthen deployment readiness, customer trust, compliance, operational resilience, and risk reduction .

What you'll be doing

Security Program Delivery

• Lead security program delivery across cyber defense, incident response, internal and 3rd party security testing, detection, and compliance-linked initiatives.
• Bring structure to ambiguous, fast-moving security programs with clear owners, milestones, blockers, and decision points.
• Track dependencies, delivery status, and remediation progress across multiple stakeholders and workstreams.
• Escalate issues early and help teams drive action through to completion.

Metrics, Reporting, and BI

• Define security metrics covering delivery, coverage, risk reduction, control health, exceptions, and evidence quality.
• Build executive-ready reporting views that translate technical security work into clear business impact.
• Create dashboards that show what is covered, what is blocked, what is overdue, and what risk remains.
• Model security program data across assets, users, devices, applications, findings, controls, owners, exceptions, tickets, evidence, and remediation status.

Operating Mechanisms and Governance

• Establish a weekly operating rhythm for program reviews, blocker escalation, roadmap tracking, and leadership reporting.
• Maintain decision logs, action tracking, and follow-through across cross-functional security initiatives.
• Develop intake and prioritization mechanisms that clarify what to do now, what to defer, and what risk is being accepted.
• Improve execution with lightweight mechanisms that reduce process drag while increasing accountability.

Cross-Functional Coordination and Audit Readiness

• Coordinate across security, IT, engineering, compliance, and operations teams to keep programs aligned and moving.
• Identify the most important data sources for reliable security reporting and document gaps, owners, and cleanup actions.
• Support evidence and audit readiness by ensuring key decisions, control outcomes, and remediation work are traceable.
• Deliver reporting improvements that reduce manual status gathering and give leadership a clearer view of risk and progress.

KPIs

• Delivery status across priority security programs
• Security coverage and control health metrics
• Risk reduction and blocker resolution progress
• Evidence quality and audit readiness

About You

• 6+ years in technical program management, security program management, business intelligence engineering, data analytics, security operations, or related roles
• Experience working directly with security, IT, infrastructure, cloud, identity, cyber defense, GRC, or engineering teams during or adjacent to incident response activities.
• Strong BI skills including data modeling, metrics definition, dashboard design, and data quality management
• Proven ability to manage complex cross-functional programs with ambiguous requirements and multiple stakeholders
• Ability to translate technical security detail into clear executive-level reporting
• Strong written communication, issue framing, decision tracking, and stakeholder management skills
• Practical understanding of security concepts such as identity, endpoint security, vulnerability management, incident response, access control, logging, compliance, and risk management
• Ability to build lightweight mechanisms that improve execution without creating unnecessary process drag
• Experience in a high-growth technology, cloud, infrastructure, AI, regulated, or customer-trust-sensitive environment is preferred
• Experience with security dashboards, control-health reporting, risk registers, audit evidence views, operational scorecards, data pipelines, workflow automation, ticketing data, asset data, security telemetry, or compliance evidence is a plus
