Join our Application & Infrastructure Security Program Management team!

Partner with the best

As a Program Manager, you will collaborate cross-functionally to lead, structure, and successfully execute our most critical security programs. We are looking for a proactive problem solver—someone who doesn't just track schedules or take notes, but owns outcomes, dives deep to get clarity, and holds global teams accountable to execution.

As a Program Manager, you will be responsible for:
  • Proactive Problem Solving: Spotting potential risks early, identifying process bottlenecks, and taking early action to help keep projects on track.
  • Global Team Coordination: Managing timelines, tracking dependencies, and facilitating smooth collaboration across distributed, international time zones.
  • Driven to Get Clarity: Asking thoughtful questions, validating assumptions, and digging into the details until key stakeholders have necessary clarity.
  • Clear Communication & Documentation: Keeping project documentation, status reports, and stakeholder updates clear, organized, and up to date.
  • Process Improvement & Collaboration: Bringing strong initiative, learning from senior team members, and working as a supportive, reliable team player to refine team workflows.
To be successful in this role, you will:
  • Bring foundational experience driving cross-functional projects
  • Have 2+ years of experience in program management skills
  • Show strong self-management, taking initiative to drive daily progress and find answers without needing constant step-by-step direction.
  • Use great communication and organizational skills to keep stakeholders aligned, keep track of key details, and document decisions clearly.
  • Adapt comfortably when priorities shift, keeping a positive focus and maintaining project momentum.
  • Build strong relationships to motivate partners, help teams overcome day-to-day blockers, and stay persistent when challenges pop up.
  • Demonstrate good judgment and proactive planning to reliably deliver high-quality work.
  • Program Ownership & Execution: Taking personal accountability for project plans, tracking deliverables, and coordinating execution with cross-functional teams.

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
