About the Role
SoFi is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead the Vulnerability Management program and provide strategic oversight for other critical cybersecurity initiatives. This high-impact role focuses on building program structure, improving remediation outcomes, and driving cross-functional execution across various departments. The ideal candidate will have experience managing vulnerability management or similar security programs at scale, with the ability to translate complex security risks into clear priorities and executable plans. Technical depth is required for credibility, but the role emphasizes influencing stakeholders and converting ambiguous security data into business-aligned risk reduction outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Drive the strategic program management of high-priority cybersecurity initiatives, providing governance and roadmap planning.
- Translate findings into actionable remediation priorities and use them to drive accountability and process improvements.
- Own and mature the technical program strategy for SoFi’s vulnerability management program, including roadmap planning, execution governance, prioritization frameworks, and measurable success criteria.
- Partner closely with Threat and Vulnerability Management, Product Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, Enterprise Technology, Risk, Compliance, and business-unit stakeholders to drive vulnerability remediation outcomes.
- Build scalable operating rhythms for vulnerability intake, triage, prioritization, remediation tracking, escalation, exception handling, and executive reporting.
- Improve risk-based vulnerability prioritization by incorporating severity, exploitability, asset criticality, exposure, business context, and remediation feasibility.
- Drive cross-functional remediation campaigns that reduce risk, improve mean time to remediate, and create clear accountability across engineering and platform teams.
- Define, track, and communicate program KPIs, KRIs, and operational health metrics for leadership, committees, and program sponsors.
- Establish durable governance and reporting mechanisms that make vulnerability management progress visible and actionable for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Identify process gaps, tooling gaps, and workflow friction across vulnerability detection, routing, remediation, validation, and closure.
- Influence technical decisions without direct authority by translating security risk into business impact, engineering priorities, and practical execution plans.
- Proactively identify opportunities for operational improvement by analyzing recurring vulnerability patterns, identifying process friction, and driving sustainable remediation practices across teams.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in technical program management, security program management, security operations, product security, application security, infrastructure security, DevSecOps, or a related technical discipline.
- Demonstrated ownership of vulnerability management, product security, application security, cloud security, infrastructure security, or similar cybersecurity programs.
- Experience driving large-scale, cross-functional programs across Security, Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, IT, Risk, Compliance, and senior leadership stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of vulnerability management lifecycle concepts, including discovery, triage, prioritization, remediation, validation, SLA management, exception handling, and executive reporting.
- Ability to translate ambiguous security objectives into structured roadmaps, milestones, owners, metrics, and operating rhythms.
- Experience using data, KPIs, dashboards, and stakeholder reporting to improve program visibility, accountability, and outcomes.
- Strong technical fluency with modern software, cloud, infrastructure, endpoint, container, API, and/or application security environments.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex security topics for executive, technical, and non-technical audiences.
- Exceptional 'soft-skills' including stakeholder influence, conflict resolution, and the ability to drive accountability without direct authority; proven ability to translate security risk into clear business impact to guide executive-level prioritization.
- Comfort operating in a regulated environment where security, compliance, risk reduction, and business velocity must be balanced.
