IT Project Manager-Cybersecurity

Technical Project Manager – Cybersecurity & Enterprise Data Platform Migration

• Work Authorization: US Citizen or GC holder
• W2 hourly only (NO C2C)
• Location: Remote —   preference for candidates based in MN, WI, IL

Seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead cybersecurity coordination and execution within a large, complex enterprise data platform migration.

This role sits at the intersection of Cybersecurity, Engineering, Architecture, Data/Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, and Product. The TPM will connect teams with different priorities, roadmaps, and ownership boundaries to ensure cybersecurity requirements, technical dependencies, and critical-path activities are identified, sequenced, assigned, and delivered.

This is a hands-on technical project leadership role, not a PMO or status-reporting position.

• Lead end-to-end cybersecurity program coordination for the enterprise data platform migration.
• Build and maintain an integrated view of security requirements, dependencies, milestones, ownership, sequencing, risks, and critical-path activities.
• Identify technical and security dependencies early and drive clear ownership, timelines, and resolution plans.
• Coordinate across Cybersecurity, Architecture, Engineering, Data/Platform, Infrastructure, Product, and other enterprise teams.
• Facilitate technical discussions involving security architecture, integration, dependencies, sequencing, and ownership.
• Identify gaps, conflicting assumptions, unresolved decisions, risks, and blockers before they impact migration milestones.
• Drive cross-functional teams toward decisions and resolution when accountability spans organizational boundaries.
• Track critical dependencies, blockers, risks, decisions, milestones, and overall program health.
• Provide concise executive communication focused on delivery, risks, dependencies, decisions, and required actions rather than activity-based status reporting.
• Continuously follow through to ensure critical cybersecurity and technical work is completed and aligned with migration objectives.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of Technical Project and Program Management or equivalent technical program leadership experience, preferably in large enterprise environments.
• Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional technology programs involving multiple engineering and cybersecurity teams.
• Strong working knowledge of cybersecurity concepts, domains, and controls.
• Experience working across security areas such as:
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM)
  • Data Security
  • Network Security
  • Cloud Security
  • Application & Platform Security
  • Vulnerability Management
  • Logging & Monitoring
  • Security Architecture
• Strong technical dependency, integration, sequencing, critical-path, risk, and blocker management skills.
• Ability to understand architecture and engineering discussions well enough to identify dependencies, challenge assumptions, surface gaps, and recognize delivery risks.
• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear risks, decisions, actions, and outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively across complex organizational structures and competing priorities.

What Success Looks Like:  Success in this role means cybersecurity work is fully integrated into the migration—not managed as a separate workstream. Dependencies are identified early, ownership is clear, decisions happen quickly, risks are visible, and teams remain aligned through execution and delivery.
