Cloudflare is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the company's strategic Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) program, with initial focus on the Department of Defense Impact Level 4 (IL4) initiative. You will define, align, and drive complex security and compliance programs that reduce risk and enable Cloudflare's regulated business operations.
In this role, you will partner with the GRC team as its dedicated technical program manager, leading the integrated IL4 roadmap, milestones, dependencies, and execution cadence. You will connect with stakeholders across the organization through expert communication and diplomacy to maintain alignment and encourage collaboration.
