Director of Technical Program Management

Join Cyberhaven as the Director of Technical Program Management, where you will own end-to-end planning and execution across the company's most complex, cross-organizational product initiatives. This individual contributor role requires deep technical fluency, strong executive presence, and systems-level thinking. You will partner directly with engineering and product leadership, set the strategy for improving release predictability, and architect and run the engineering operating cadence. Additionally, you will define and standardize success metrics, establish data hygiene and governance standards, and lead the most ambiguous, highest-priority engineering initiatives.
