Additional details
More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future.
We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry.
The Senior Technical Program Manager, Security & GRC will work directly with our Infosec and Risk (GRC) teams to ensure that our improvements in security don’t slow us down in our mission to solve America’s retirement savings crisis.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, corporate risk, and business operations.
This TPM role will ensure that our security and risk teams are organized, coordinated and have well planned backlogs, but it is not managing a checklist.
This role will help build and enable a technical ecosystem where security and compliance are automated, invisible, and inseparable from the software development lifecycle.
Technical security orchestration: Partner with Security Engineering, Risk, Product, and Infrastructure teams to bake security and compliance "into the kiln" rather than painting it on at the end.
Help design risk solutions: Dive deep into the security stack to not only identify execution blockers but actively architect the technical solutions to implement them.
Translate telemetry into narrative: Distill complex security data and telemetry into compelling risk narratives for leadership while maintaining high-fidelity technical depth for engineers.
Exceptional communication skills with a knack for explaining the "why" behind a security control to a developer and the "how" of a technical fix to an auditor.
