A staff-level program manager to run the operating model between Datavant's security organization and Engineering. This role owns the quarterly cycle that turns those needs into a planned, prioritized engineering backlog, and holds security leaders and engineering managers alike accountable for their timelines from intake through delivery.

What You Will Do

• Set and publish the calendar, adjust it quickly when engineering timelines shift, and manage carryover and close-out between quarters.
• Align the cycle with the audit and compliance calendar.
• Hold security leaders accountable throughout the cycle.
• Drive on-time submission of engineering asks with necessary details.
• Validate completed work promptly and escalate when commitments slip.
• Catch requests that arrive outside intake and deconflict overlapping asks.
• Design and run bi-weekly Scrum of Scrums sessions with engineering managers.
• Define a format that ends every session with clear commitments, owners, and dates.
• Track commitments against delivery and follow up on slips and absences.
• Give leadership a clear, current view of security delivery.
• Maintain backlog structure in Jira, linked into company-wide roadmap structures.
• Convene and run working groups for upcoming security initiatives.
• Continuously improve the cycle by measuring stalls and fixing underlying issues.

• Experience coordinating work across a large number of teams and multiple business units.
• Fluency in how engineering teams plan and work.
• Strong Jira (or equivalent) skills.
• Clear, concise written communication.
• Comfort operating with little guidance across an enterprise-wide scope.
• The judgment to identify and handle process, people, or priority conflicts.

Requirements

• A security, compliance, or risk background.
• Experience in regulated environments where audit timelines drive engineering work.
• Experience running programs across multiple business units or recently acquired companies.
• Experience formalizing an intake process, service-level expectations, or a validation workflow.
• Experience building lightweight automation to reduce manual follow-up and reporting.
