About the Role

On behalf of our client, a premier global banking institution, Equality Street is seeking a high-caliber Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join their Global Security Regulatory PMO. Reporting directly to the PMO Director, you will own the end-to-end technical delivery of a critical, enterprise-wide Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) regulatory compliance program. This initiative carries immense regulatory weight and operational complexity. As the central nerve center of this program, you will be accountable for translating strict technical regulatory mandates into executable delivery plans, managing complex dependencies across distributed technical teams, surfacing risks proactively, and keeping stakeholders aligned despite ambiguity. Your judgment, clear communication, and tenacity will be essential to navigating cross-functional friction, extracting realistic commitments from engineering and security teams, and keeping the enterprise on track toward mandatory regulatory deadlines.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain integrated technology schedules, resource plans, and milestones across all security and application workstreams.
Lead routine technical syncs and planning sessions to track progress, resolve cross-team dependencies, and eliminate engineering blockers.
Maintain status reports, risk/issue (RAID) logs, and regulatory compliance checklists.
Push distributed technical teams to deliver on time, proactively re-baselining plans and addressing scope creep immediately.
Actively look for planning gaps, capacity constraints, or technical blockers; escalate uncomfortable realities to leadership early with solution-focused summaries.
Run a rigorous risk register and present strategic mitigation options to the Steering Committee weekly.
Ask tough questions to constructively validate technical estimates and feasibility before committing to deadlines.
Act as the connective tissue between Infrastructure, Cyber Security, IAM leads, business stakeholders, and change management.
Translate dense technical complexities into clear, high-impact status updates for executive sponsors, the CISO, and senior leadership.
Develop a strong working knowledge of the Biometric MFA architecture to ask intelligent questions and track integration points credibly.

Requirements

7+ years of experience leading large, complex enterprise technology programs with heavy regulatory or operational requirements (with at least 2 years in a dedicated, sole program delivery role).
5+ years of experience operating within Cybersecurity, Financial Services, or highly regulated, matrixed enterprise environments.
Proven experience managing programs with high cross-functional complexity, distributed teams, and challenging stakeholder dynamics.
Proven ability to constructively challenge technical estimates, hold engineering teams accountable, and extract realistic commitments.
A strong discipline for identifying, tracking, and appropriately escalating risks and uncomfortable truths early.
Deep expertise in program management methodologies (with a strong preference for Waterfall frameworks given the strict regulatory nature of the delivery).
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfort delivering difficult news or unfavorable forecasts to senior executives alongside clear recommendations.
Experience managing third-party vendor delivery and complex enterprise integrations.
PMP, PgMP, or equivalent advanced program management certification.
Prior experience delivering Identity & Access Management (IAM) or large-scale cybersecurity transformation programs.
Post-secondary degree in Business, IT, Engineering, or a related technical field.
Familiarity with regulatory compliance frameworks (e.g., OSFI guidelines, ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls).
