The Opportunity:

As the Security Technical Program Manager, you will serve as the strategic operational bridge connecting the Security Risk Engineering function with global Product, Engineering, and SRE teams. You will orchestrate mission-critical security programs from inception to deployment, transforming abstract security, compliance, and risk initiatives into high-impact, actionable roadmaps. This role requires a balance of rigorous technical program management, financial services acumen, and modern technical insight across cloud architectures and AI ecosystems to ensure Flywire moves fast and remains secure by design.

• Security Lifecycle Program Management: Lead and drive cross-functional "Security by Design" and Secure-SDLC initiatives across critical application launches, automated workflows, and emerging AI tools from ideation to deployment.
• AI-Driven Process Efficiency: Actively adopt and leverage internal enterprise AI tools and Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate program tracking, streamline documentation, optimize cross-functional security workflows, and continuously drive operational efficiency.
• Vulnerability & Threat Orchestration: Coordinate the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle, partnering directly with Product, SRE, and Software Engineering to ensure rapid prioritization, tracking, and remediation of technical risks.
• Information Security Compliance & Regulatory Audits: Oversee complex technical security assessments and audits to ensure continuous, strict readiness for PCI-DSS, SOX, SOC 1, and SOC 2 frameworks.
• Strategic Roadmap & Operational Governance: Establish, maintain, and communicate the security engineering program roadmap, defining clear project charters, timelines, success metrics, and the technical "Definition of Done" for executive stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Enablement: Partner with high-velocity software engineering and infrastructure teams to integrate secure technical guardrails seamlessly without inducing development velocity friction.
• Team Performance & Mentorship: Provide guidance and operational coaching to junior members of the security and program teams, cultivating a culture of technical excellence and collaborative risk awareness.

Education, Experience/Knowledge & License/Certification

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree required in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
