Job Description & Details
This is a heavy-hitting Product Cybersecurity Program Manager role focused on bridging the gap between product development, operational technology, and enterprise security initiatives. You will not just be managing Jira boards; you will be actively owning risk-reduction programs, driving compliance, and defining security processes for OT and ICS environments.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You will spend your days driving cybersecurity projects from concept to closure, keeping cross-functional engineering teams aligned, and managing operational performance metrics. Expect to coordinate lab certifications, overhaul policies and procedures, and mentor team members while dealing with the complexities of industrial control systems and software development lifecycles.
The Core Tech Stack
You need a solid foundation in enterprise program management and workflow tools like Jira, Kanbanize, CRM, or CCaaS to track deliverables effectively. More importantly, your technical edge must stem from a deep working knowledge of Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and firmware or software development operations.
Interview Expectations
Be ready for the hiring manager to ask you to walk through a specific time you managed a major risk-reduction program in an OT or ICS environment under a tight deadline. They want to see how you balance cross-functional stakeholder management with technical cybersecurity constraints. Another likely scenario will involve discussing how you handle process bottlenecks and challenge the status quo when engineering speed clashes with product security policies.
Application Advice
Make sure your resume heavily features keywords like 'OT/ICS', 'product cybersecurity operations', and enterprise workflow tools like 'Jira' right at the top to clear the automated ATS filters. Emphasize your program management track record with concrete metrics showing how you drove performance objectives, implemented security policies, and coordinated industry certifications.
