We are seeking a Security Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive our program. The Security TPM serves as a strategic architect and operational engine of an organization’s security posture. Bridging the gap between high-level risk management and deep technical execution, they orchestrate complex initiatives—ranging from infrastructure hardening to compliance automation—across diverse engineering and product teams. Unlike a traditional project manager, a Security TPM possesses the technical depth to challenge architectural decisions and the business acumen to prioritize security debt against product velocity. Ultimately, they are responsible for transforming abstract security policies into scalable, automated workflows that protect the company’s assets without stifling innovation.

• →Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field such as Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related Security discipline or equivalent combination of experience and education. 
• →3-5 years of experience in program management or engineering driving cross-functional projects and aligning stakeholders around strategic priorities. 
• →Strong written and verbal communication with an aptitude for building shared understanding of goals, escalating elegantly, and reporting to senior leadership.
• →Experience in information security, security engineering, or compliance.

• A deep understanding of security fundamentals and frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-171) and applying security controls to both organizations and products. 
• Strong aptitude for Atlassian Jira and Confluence issue management, project management, and reporting.
• Experience and/or education in a technical discipline related to IonQ product lines, including satellite, quantum computing, and/or networking
