Technical Project Manager-Security

Technical Project Manager
About the role
We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead cross-team execution of Platform migration and modernization work.
Key responsibilities
● Own and maintain an integrated Identity migration roadmap across workstreams, milestones, teams, dependencies, and capacity constraints.
● Translate strategic outcomes into deliverable plans, decision points, migration waves, acceptance criteria, and measurable exit conditions.
● Coordinate work across Identity engineering teams, consumer product teams, security, architecture, data, operations, vendors, and leadership.
● Drive clear ownership for every migration, integration, consumer adoption, decommissioning activity, and cross-team dependency.
● Maintain a single source of truth for plans, RAID items, decisions, dependencies, actions, milestones, and change communications.
● Coordinate migration and modernization work such as service decomposition, cloud adoption, database/schema separation, legacy service retirement, and identity-provider or SSO transitions.
● Coordinate event-platform redesign and consumer onboarding, including schema readiness, integration testing, observability, reconciliation, and production-readiness gates.
● Plan migration sequencing, parallel-run periods, compatibility reviews, cutovers, rollback options, and post-migration validation with technical owners.
● Ensure consumer teams have migration guidance, named owners, agreed adoption plans, test plans, and target dates.
● Facilitate governance forums and technical programme reviews; capture decisions, owners, due dates, and escalation actions.
● Identify and escalate schedule, capacity, security, compliance, operational, vendor, and consumer-adoption risks early.
● Coordinate readiness for production changes, including security reviews, SLO/SLI alignment, incident readiness, support ownership, and runbook coverage.
● Prepare concise and evidence-based status reporting for senior engineering and product leadership, including progress, forecast, risks, dependencies, decisions required, and outcomes.
● Support change management and communications for teams integrating with new identity services, APIs, events, authentication flows, and standards.
● Track programme benefits and outcomes such as legacy components retired, migration adoption, reduced operational toil, improved reliability, security-risk reduction, and delivery of customer-facing capabilities.
● Coordinate vendor evaluation, procurement or onboarding dependencies, integration plans, and partner delivery where relevant.
● Ensure that operational ownership, knowledge transfer, documentation, and support models are agreed before a migration workstream is closed.
Required/Mandatory experience and skills
● 10-15 years of experience in technical project management, technical programme management, delivery management, or a closely related role.
● Demonstrated experience delivering complex platform migrations, service modernization, system integration, or multi-team technology programmes.
● Strong cross-team dependency management across engineering, product, security, architecture, operations, data, and external partners.
● Experience managing an integrated plan across multiple workstreams, teams, release dates, shared dependencies, and changing priorities.
● Strong governance and reporting skills, including decision logs, RAID registers, milestone tracking, delivery forecasting, and executive-level status reporting.
● Experience driving decisions and escalation when ownership, scope, sequencing, capacity, or technical dependencies are unclear.
● Practical understanding of software delivery and architecture concepts, including APIs, service boundaries, event-driven systems, data migration, backward compatibility, cloud environments, and production readiness.
● Experience coordinating phased migrations, parallel runs, consumer onboarding, cutovers, rollback planning, and post-release validation.
● Ability to understand identity and access management concepts and coordinate work involving authentication, authorization, sessions, identity data, tokens, SSO, and identity-provider integrations.
● Strong risk-management skills, especially for security-sensitive, customer-critical, high-availability platforms.
● Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to make complex delivery issues clear and actionable for technical and non-technical audiences.
● High ownership, organization, and follow-through, with the ability to bring structure to ambiguous programmes.
Mandatory Skills
Experience with several of the following areas is strongly preferred:
● Modernizing identity platforms and decomposing monolithic services into independently deployable services.
● Cloud migration, infrastructure modernization, shared-database separation, and legacy-system decommissioning.
● Identity-provider, SSO, session, account, profile, access-management, or authentication-flow migrations.
● OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, token management, scopes, authorization requests, passkeys, MFA, or related identity standards.
● Identity event platforms, schema evolution, event delivery, Kafka or equivalent messaging, consumer onboarding, and reconciliation.
● Mobile or client-library modernization, API adoption, and migration across multiple consumer teams.
● Vendor identity technology evaluation, integration, and transition planning.
● Security, privacy, fraud-prevention, compliance, and customer-trust programmes.
