About the Role

As a Lead Technical Program Manager, you will own the end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional technical initiatives—from conception through launch. Your technical background will help you identify risks, translate requirements, and ensure solutions are feasible and aligned with both business and security priorities. You’ll drive alignment across deeply technical stakeholder groups while maintaining program visibility, governance, and operational rigor.

You’ll also play a key role in helping scale and mature the Program Management Office (PMO) within Information Security, shaping how Rapid7 plans, executes, and delivers critical programs.

In This Role, You Will:

• Own end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent technical programs across cybersecurity, infrastructure, and IT domains.

• Drive program planning, roadmaps, and execution, ensuring milestones, interdependencies, and risks are well managed.

• Establish repeatable program governance—status reporting, RAID logs, and communication cadence.

• Facilitate alignment across deeply technical teams and executive stakeholders.

• Partner with Product and Engineering to advance the Security Partnership Framework, supporting security champions across teams.

• Collaborate with the Security Risk Management Lead and risk owners to track and drive timely remediation progress.

• Translate complex cybersecurity and risk concepts into clear, actionable program plans.

• Partner on defining and communicating InfoSec’s annual goals and roadmap, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities.

• Contribute to the build-out of a scalable PMO function within Information Security.

The Skills and Qualities You’ll Bring Include:

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management, cybersecurity program management, or engineering project management.

• Strong understanding of modern security practices such as cloud security, IAM/IGA, vulnerability management, logging and detection, and ITGC/compliance frameworks.

• Proven ability to manage large-scale, multi-team programs in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience building structure in ambiguous environments and leading through change.

• Proficiency with program management tools including JIRA and Confluence.

• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Core Behaviors and Competencies

• Strong work ethic, curiosity, and self-motivation.

• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to influence across teams.
