About the role

About The Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and organized Security Remediation Project Manager to join our Security team.

This role is central to our security posture. You will own the end-to-end tracking and management of a large, active backlog of security remediation items spanning multiple SaaS platforms and internal systems. You will coordinate closely with our Security Analyst and Cloud Engineer to triage and validate issues, then drive remediation efforts across both the Security team and multiple Software Engineering teams — ensuring work moves forward steadily, is properly prioritized, and is completed on time.

This is a highly collaborative, cross‑functional role requiring strong communication, sharp organizational skills, and comfort operating in a fast‑paced environment where priorities can evolve.

This position will require core working hours that provide at least a half‑day overlap with our US‑based teams (Central Time zone preferred). For India timezone – till 10:30 pm IST.

Primary Responsibilities & Expectations

  • Security Remediation Backlog Management

    • Own the security remediation backlog in ClickUp, ensuring all identified issues are accurately logged, categorized, prioritized, and up to date.
    • Coordinate with the Security Analyst and Cloud Engineer to validate and triage incoming issues, confirming scope, severity, and ownership.
    • Route remediation work to the correct owners: Security team members for issues within their control, or the appropriate Engineering team for code‑ or platform‑level fixes.
    • Proactively monitor progress across all open items, identify blockers, and escalate as needed to keep work moving.
  • Engineering Team Coordination

    • Manage the subset of remediation work assigned to Engineering teams, who have limited dedicated capacity for security backlog.
    • Run weekly standing meetings with each Engineering team that has outstanding security work, maintaining a prioritized, realistic queue of items.
    • Partner with Engineering leads to sequence work effectively within their capacity constraints, balancing security urgency against other development priorities.
    • Track commitments and follow up consistently to ensure delivery.
  • Project Management & Workflow

    • Serve as project manager for additional Security team initiatives, including work performed by third‑party vendors under Statements of Work (SoW) or similar arrangements.
    • Assist in improving the team's use of ClickUp — organizing workspaces, refining workflows, and establishing consistent processes for tracking and reporting.
    • Produce clear status updates and progress reports for Security leadership.
  • SOC 2 Audit Support (as capacity allows)

    • Assist with data collection and evidence gathering tasks related to SOC 2 audits.
    • Help ensure routine compliance activities are being completed on schedule and that supporting documentation is organized and readily available for auditors.

Preferred Skills And Qualifications

  • 2–5 years of experience in project management, program coordination, or a related role.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage large, complex workloads with many concurrent work items across multiple teams.
  • Experience working cross‑functionally with technical teams (engineering, security, or IT).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English — you will regularly run meetings and correspond with US‑based stakeholders at all levels.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; comfortable owning processes end‑to‑end.
  • Proficiency with project or task management tools (ClickUp experience is a strong plus; experience with similar tools such as Jira, Asana, or Monday.com is acceptable).
  • Comfortable working in a remote‑collaborative environment with team members across time zones.
  • Prior experience in a security, compliance, or IT operations environment.
  • Familiarity with SaaS platform ecosystems and the types of security vulnerabilities common in cloud environments.
  • Exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other security/compliance frameworks.
  • PMP, CAPM, or equivalent project management certification is a plus.
