The Team
The Security and Privacy Technical Program Management team is a force multiplier; we partner closely with engineering, product and business teams across Netflix to deliver results. We collaborate cross functionally to align on strategic goals and vision, and then we work with the right stakeholders to establish and drive impactful initiatives.
The Role
We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive program execution partnering with the Enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) Product and Engineering organization. In this role, you will be the glue that connects the dots between Identity product strategy and engineering execution. You will manage the overarching execution, stakeholder alignment, and change management for the IAM group, and work on high-impact initiatives to modernize our access management model, moving toward automated, least-privilege access.
We are leaning into the “T” (Technical) for this role. By technical, we mean that the ideal candidate has a strong understanding of the overall security domain and ability to gain a technical understanding of programs across their lifecycle. TPMs must be skilled at both strategy and execution as well as have depth in their technical domain.
What You Will Do
Execution of Strategic Initiatives: Support high-impact programs focused on modernizing the identity lifecycle, implementing Zero Trust architecture, and scaling secure access for diverse global business verticals and emerging technologies.
Establish Operational Rigor: Define and drive program management best practices, including OKRs and execution roadmaps, to ensure engineering delivery aligns with long-term product strategy.
Change Management: Develop and execute comprehensive communication and change management plans for major infrastructure transitions, ensuring stakeholders are informed and impact to the business is minimized.
Manage Large-Scale Migrations: Lead the decommissioning of legacy tech debt while migrating users and systems to modern platforms.
Desired Background
Demonstrated ability to take a multi-year "North Star" vision and decompose it into executable milestones for engineering teams.
Excellent written and verbal skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions and communicate business impact to both engineers and executives.
You are able to triage multiple initiatives to make a judgment to tackle the right problems at the right time.
You have an ability to identify gaps in solutions, debate technical approaches and weigh-in on product vs technology tradeoffs.
You have familiarity with product security principles and best practices, and have developed and driven security initiatives such as building platform wide authentication and authorization systems at scale
Proven success driving large-scale security or infrastructure programs across multiple teams
Strong understanding of modern IAM protocols (SAML, OIDC, SCIM) and access control models like Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA)
Proven success driving large-scale infrastructure or security programs that involve significant organizational change management.
