CrowdStrike is a dynamic security company dedicated to safeguarding a diverse array of clients against cybersecurity threats. We’re expanding our team with technical project managers who are quick-thinking, eager to grow, adaptable, and skilled at handling high-profile, complex cybersecurity projects in a fast-moving environment.
As a Technical Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for supporting the cybersecurity team, whose mission is threefold:
(1) First and foremost, we prevent breaches;
(2) We empower secure growth in new markets, enabling our sales teams to confidently expand our reach without compromising security; and,
(3) We develop resilience and scale operations to back business objectives.
We are seeking a candidate focused on driving the scheduling, scoping, and execution of critical projects in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. This role demands an individual who thrives on managing high-priority projects with short turnaround times and unexpected deadlines, quickly mobilizing cross-functional teams across key business units.
Typical teams will include security engineers, architects, vulnerability management analysts, penetration testing engineers, and incident response analysts, as well as other engineers, product managers, project managers, and program managers across the company, and with Consulting firms chosen to maximize efficiencies. Exposure to C-level and senior leadership is a norm and succinct communication for this audience is expected.

Plan and drive the tactical execution of project deliverables with cybersecurity and change management considered at all phases with strategic OKRs in mind
Help team members clarify business needs and measurable project outcomes

This is an ideal position for a project manager with a proven ability to perform under pressure, who brings a proactive, adaptable approach to high-visibility, mission-critical initiatives.
5+ years of experience working in a cloud-based program/project management capacity. Cybersecurity, SaaS and/or IT operations are the closest and most obvious fields for candidates to come from, but don’t hesitate to apply if you’re an expert cat-herder from some other problem domain.
