Senior Technical Program Manager

The Squarespace Technical Program Management (TPM) team is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive our compliance programs within the Security organization. In this role, you will act as a high-level partner to Security leadership and the Legal team, leading the end-to-end execution of cross-functional programs that address complex compliance, privacy, and technical security challenges.

This role requires a unique blend of deep GRC experience and the technical fluency to partner directly with engineering teams to drive remediation. You will be responsible for providing a clear path forward, ensuring that high-priority security and compliance initiatives are delivered with extreme attention to detail and predictable momentum.

 This is a NYC-based role working from our office 2 days per week. You will report to the Manager of Technical Program Management.

• Breaking down silos and bridging communication gaps across teams (Security, Engineering, Legal, etc.)
• Tracking project status and reporting updates to project stakeholders 
• Continuously identifying opportunities for improvement to team-level processes and best practices
• Excellent communication across a variety of stakeholders

• 4+ years of experience in a (technical) program manager (or similar) position, working on engineering-driven projects through all phases of the software development lifecycle
• GRC and Audit Expertise, specifically leading complex compliance delivery for PCI, SOC 2, and SOX. You have a demonstrated ability to manage the full audit lifecycle with extreme attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem solving.
• Technical Security Fluency, with the ability to translate abstract security requirements and legal mandates (GDPR, CCPA) into concrete, actionable technical tickets for engineering and infrastructure teams.
• A track record of partnering with Security Leadership, building and maintaining department-wide roadmaps, leading planning meetings, and providing status reporting.
• Advanced Organizational Influence, with the ability to drive alignment across disparate groups (Product, Engineering, Legal, and Finance) and influence outcomes without direct authority.
• Expertise in Operational Excellence, with a background in Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) and the ability to implement scalable processes and project dashboards using the Atlassian suite (Jira, Confluence) and Google Workspace.
• A results-oriented mindset, characterized by high autonomy and a relentless focus on delivery. You are someone who anticipates risks, proactively resolves blockers, and ensures all commitments are met without requiring managerial prompting.
