Partnerize is seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager (Compliance & Certifications) to serve as the operational engine driving the company's technical compliance, security, and industry certification initiatives. This role coordinates and manages rigid external audit timelines while aligning execution across software development, IT/TechOps, and business operations teams.
You will own and manage the planning, tracking, and execution of annual Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation and SOC2 (Type 1 and Type 2) audits. The role ensures all compliance projects are structured, tracked, and reported in strict accordance with corporate PMO standards.
Key responsibilities include:
**PMO Reporting & Project Standards:** Manage compliance and certification project plans, trackers, and repositories aligned with PMO methodologies. Provide routine structured progress reports, KPI dashboards, and project health updates covering milestones, risks, and blockers. Track dependencies and risks, executing formal escalation paths when compliance milestones are at risk. Maintain program trackers, schedules, and resource planning artifacts in central PMO tools (Asana, Jira).
**Hybrid Project Management & Governance:** Establish phase-gate project plans for upcoming audits, mapping critical paths for audit readiness, dry-runs, evidence lock-down, and formal evaluation windows. Translate complex compliance controls into clear technical specifications and development tasks. Partner with Security, TechOps, Data, and Engineering teams to integrate compliance-related tasks into active development cycles without disrupting the core product roadmap. Oversee key operational controls managed by technical partner teams.
**Audit Coordination & Evidence Gathering:** Serve as primary operational contact and liaison for external auditors and assessors (MRC, EY, SOC2 auditors). Project manage the continuous gathering, formatting, and submission of technical evidence (configurations, access logs, architectural diagrams). Monitor and drive resolution of compliance gaps, audit findings, and vulnerability remediation tasks.
**MRC Certification Support:** Project manage end-to-end timelines for annual MRC audits and ongoing compliance reviews. Coordinate engineering and product tasks related to data pipelines, measurement methodologies, and filtration logic to ensure alignment with MRC and industry measurement standards. Coordinate preparation and maintenance of methodology disclosures and establish a "Journal of Change" process. Project manage compliance workflows across business operations, including Business Partner Qualification, client onboarding disclosures, and discrepancy tracking.
**SOC2 Type 1 & Type 2 Support:** Organize schedule, operational execution, and readiness milestones for annual SOC2 audits. Partner with engineering and IT teams to ensure system monitoring, access control reviews, and infrastructure configurations are consistently maintained and documented. Help manage compliance automation tooling (Vanta, Drata) to ensure continuous control verification and evidence tracking.
**Requirements:**
- 5+ years of experience as a Technical Project Manager, Program Manager, or Delivery Manager in a SaaS, Adtech, or software engineering environment
- Proven experience managing projects and reporting project health, timelines, and status updates aligned with structured PMO frameworks
- Demonstrated ability to manage fixed-deadline, structured compliance timelines (milestone/waterfall approach) while integrating execution into Agile-operating engineering teams
- Practical experience managing projects, timelines, evidence gathering, or compliance oversight related to SOC2 audits or Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation
- Advanced proficiency in structured project planning and execution tracking within platforms like Asana or Jira
- Comfort working alongside engineering and IT teams; ability to understand cloud infrastructure concepts (AWS/GCP), database schemas, and identity/access management frameworks
**Preferred Qualifications:**
- Deep understanding of ad-serving technology, measurement methodologies, and industry measurement standards
- PMP (Project Management Professional), CAPM, PMI-ACP, or introductory security/compliance credentials
- Experience using compliance automation platforms (Drata, Vanta, Secureframe)
