About SailPoint SailPoint leads in identity security for the cloud enterprise. Built on AI and machine learning, our Identity Security Cloud Platform delivers the right level of access to the right identities and resources at the right time—matching the scale, velocity, and evolving needs of today's modern enterprise.

About the Role SailPoint is looking for a Technical Program Manager to serve as the operational backbone of a product security program running 12+ concurrent initiatives, a growing portfolio of BAU security operations, and coordination across every engineering organization in the company. You will drive execution across security architecture reviews, tooling evaluations, vendor procurements, pipeline buildout, and cross-functional programs spanning Product, Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, and the CISO organization—work that goes well beyond routine status reporting.

The program spans near-term initiatives (production access controls, red team vendor engagement, SCM migration, CI/CD security gates, cloud asset tagging, MCP gateway, API gateway reviews), mid-term initiatives (customer code governance, BYOK architecture, reference architecture standup, non-human identity program), and continuous BAU activities (design reviews, security architecture reviews, AI security reviews, security champions, metrics and reporting, red team operations). You will own the operational rhythm that keeps all of this moving forward without anything falling through the cracks.

About the Team You will join our Engineering Operations team—the group that keeps SailPoint's engineering organization secure, compliant, and audit-ready as we scale. Engineering Operations sits at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and Compliance, removing friction, standardizing process, and ensuring the right evidence and controls are in place without slowing teams down.

In this role, you will work closely with Engineering Managers, security operations, platform teams, and leaders across Engineering and Cybersecurity. Together, we aim for predictable remediation throughput, transparent risk visibility, and a vulnerability management program that keeps pace with our product and cloud footprint.

Responsibilities • Own end-to-end execution of 12+ concurrent product security initiatives across near-term, mid-term, and continuous horizons, keeping each with a current status, next milestone, owner, timeline, and documented dependencies.

• Maintain the initiative roadmap as a living document, run the weekly tracking cadence, flag drifting work, and escalate blockers before they become delays.

• Map and actively manage cross-team dependencies across DevOps, Platform Engineering, FinOps, Architecture, Product, Engineering Directors, and the CISO organization.

• Build trusted relationships with engineering leaders whose teams support active initiatives, making cross-team coordination frictionless rather than adding process.

• Manage the full vendor and procurement pipeline, giving every engagement a clear status, next action, owner, and timeline, and eliminating procurement surprises.

• Drive vendor engagements through the front door process, coordinating evaluators, scoping POCs, compiling results, and preparing decision packages for leadership.

• Track recurring BAU work — design and architecture reviews, AI security reviews, red team operations, security champions, and metrics — against capacity so the Director can see where the team has room for additional work.

• Produce executive-ready status updates, quarterly program reviews, and decision packages that leadership uses to evaluate program health and make investment decisions.

• Steer the program with data such as aging, throughput, and SLA adherence, sizing risk in concrete terms for both technical and executive audiences.

• Build and maintain program tracking in Jira and Confluence, establish a consistent intake process for new initiatives, and apply AI-assisted workflows with sound judgment about when automation helps and when human oversight is required.

Roadmap for Success By 30 days — Discovery & Assessment: • Complete a thorough review of the initiative roadmap (12 initiatives across near-term and mid-term horizons), the BAU tracker (10 recurring activities with quarterly load allocations), and the quarter map that sequences all work. Understand the dependencies between initiatives, the staffing model, and where capacity is tight. • Map every cross-team dependency. This program touches DevOps, Platform Engineering, FinOps, Architecture, Product, Engineering Directors, the CISO organization, and multiple vendor relationships. Build the dependency map and identify which dependencies are on track, at risk, or blocked. • Review every active procurement and POC. Understand where each vendor engagement sits in the front door process, what the evaluation timeline looks like, who the decision makers are, and what approvals are still outstanding. • Establish the communication rhythm. Learn how the Director communicates with leadership and calibrate your reporting to support that cadence.

By 60 days — Own the Rhythm: • Take full ownership of the weekly initiative tracking cadence. Run the weekly sync, maintain the roadmap tracker, flag initiatives that are drifting, and escalate blockers before they become delays. • Drive at least one active procurement to completion or to the next milestone (vendor contract executed, POC scoped, or evaluation results compiled). Demonstrate that you can navigate the procurement process, coordinate evaluators, and deliver a decision package. • Build working relationships with every engineering director whose team is a dependency for an active initiative. They should know your name, understand your role, and see you as the person who makes cross-team coordination frictionless rather than adding proces
