Job Description

A client is seeking a Technical Project Manager to support two highly visible, enterprise-wide security initiatives, including a major Secure SDLC program. This role is critical in driving both the delivery and adoption of internally developed application security platforms and frameworks across the organization. This individual will act as a bridge between security engineering teams and business stakeholders, ensuring that complex technical initiatives are effectively communicated, understood, and adopted across multiple teams. A key focus of this role will be supporting the rollout of Secure SDLC processes and tools—engaging directly with individual development teams to onboard them, tailor adoption strategies, and ensure the platform is being used in a way that aligns with each team’s workflows and needs. This person must be technically fluent enough to understand the current environment, including application security concepts, development lifecycles, and tooling (e.g., GitHub, CI/CD pipelines), in order to connect technical execution with business impact. They will be responsible for translating technical progress into clear, executive-level updates, while also driving hands-on engagement with teams to promote adoption and long-term success of the program. This role requires strong ownership across the full project lifecycle, from initial scoping and stakeholder alignment, through execution and rollout, to ongoing iteration and re-engagement with teams. The ideal candidate is proactive, able to anticipate risks early, and comfortable operating in executive-facing environments where they will provide regular updates to senior leadership. This person needs to be comfortable going onsite to Warren, NJ 4 days per week.
