Partner 20, Staff Security Technical Program Manager

The Role

We're hiring a Staff Security Technical Program Manager to run the operating system of the a16z Security team. You'll own the firm's vulnerability management program, drive cross-team security initiatives to completion, and own the planning rhythm that keeps the team and its stakeholders aligned: sprints, OKRs, timelines, and the documentation and ticketing hygiene that make all of it real.

Security at a16z moves fast and touches every part of the firm. We work in close partnership with teams across the firm. Your job is to keep that work on schedule, keep decisions written down, and make sure nothing gets dropped between teams. Leadership should be able to get the real status from you, and engineers should see you as someone who removes obstacles, not someone who adds process.

This role requires an in-office presence 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday, in our San Francisco, CA office, with occasional days in our Menlo Park, CA office.

To join our team, you should be excited to:

• Own security remediation across the firm, end to end: Pull findings from threat models, code reviews, penetration tests, vulnerability management, audits, and incident postmortems into a single tracked backlog, and manage it with clear owners, priorities, remediation SLAs

• Run the vulnerability management program: Scan coverage, patching cadence, exceptions and risk acceptance, and reporting that shows leadership where risk stands
