What we’re looking for: • 8+ years of experience in technical program management or a similar role driving large, cross-functional engineering programs. • Experience working in trust & safety, security, identity, integrity, or related problem spaces (such as anti-abuse, fraud, account access, or privacy) at consumer or enterprise scale. • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience • Ability to ramp up quickly on complex technical domains (e.g., identity and access management, large-scale detection systems, platform and infrastructure, and experimentation) and collaborate effectively with senior engineers. • Proven track record of helping teams make sound technical trade-offs under ambiguity, sequencing work to de-risk the hardest problems early. • Demonstrated ability to structure and deliver multi-quarter programs with multiple teams, dependencies, and stakeholders across organizations. • Strong command of program governance (charters, milestones, dependency/risk management, metrics) and the discipline to keep programs on track without over-rotating to process. • Deep empathy for people whose accounts or experiences are at risk, and a bias toward building durable protections instead of one-off fixes. • Familiarity with industry best practices for account security, abuse prevention, and safety and integrity measurement. • Demonstrated ability to use generative AI to improve speed and quality in day-to-day work (for example, drafting, synthesizing, and analyzing program artifacts and data), with a clear approach to validating accuracy and mitigating risks. • Comfort working with data and basic tooling (dashboards, metrics, lightweight analysis) and partnering with data science to define, interpret, and act on integrity and safety metrics. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to distill complex, technical issues into clear narratives for executives, engineers, operations, and policy partners. • Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to influence without formal authority across engineering, product, design, operations, and legal/policy. • Proven ability to take ambiguous, cross-org problems and turn them into clear, actionable programs with owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes. • Track record of mentoring other TPMs or technical leaders and raising the quality bar for program management practices on your teams. In-Office Requirement Statement: • We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection. • This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times/quarter and therefore can be situated anywhere in the country.
