Technical Program Lead Cybersecurity Compliance San Jose - CA - California

100% ONSITE ROLE at San Jose CA or Raleigh NC

Compliance Program Lead- 2 positions

Role: Compliance CRA - Program Lead

Customers are looking for a Program Lead to turn global cyber regulations into a concrete, sequenced technical plan for their internal teams to execute against, and to drive that plan through delivery.

The person will be hand-in-glove with customer Product Manager, who owns the broader roadmap and lifecycle. You will draft the technical directions and track delivery.

Responsibilities:

Draft the technical roadmap and execution plan for CRA compliance and adjust it as requirements evolve.

Translate regulatory requirements into concrete technical proposals: what the platform needs to capture or expose for SBOMs, vulnerability handling, audit documentation.

Drive engineering tracking for the CRA program. Assign-and-track work, surface risks, keep delivery on schedule.

Represent CRA in meetings and stakeholder conversations with legal, compliance, other platform teams, and engineering leadership, so requirements are understood once and built once.

Coordinate with the Product Manager who owns our core platform to sequence CRA work against everything else on that roadmap.

Unblock the engineers implementing the work day-to-day. You dont manage them, but you keep them moving.

Required Skills:

AI-native in how you work, even outside of code. You default using AI to track requirements, draft technical proposals and roadmaps, and synthesize stakeholder input, not do it by hand.

Comfortable bringing order to genuine ambiguity, where requirements are still being written and no precedent exists yet.

Experienced translating a regulatory or compliance requirement into a technical plan. Doesnt have to be CRA specifically, but youve done this kind of translation before.

Comfortable being the face of a program: running meetings and managing stakeholders you dont manage, without someone else in the room.

Technically credible that your draft proposals hold up to engineering scrutiny.

Organized enough to own delivery tracking for a multi-team initiative without letting things slip.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelors degree in any field, or demonstrated equivalent experience.

Demonstrated fluency using AI as a default part of how you research, plan, and write.

Experience in a technical program management, technical lead, or similar hybrid role, owning both technical direction and delivery tracking for cross-functional or ambiguous initiatives.

Experience with security, compliance, or regulatory requirements (SBOMs, vulnerability disclosure, secure-by-design, audit documentation). Direct CRA experience is a plus, not required.

Track record working closely with a product manager as a technical or program counterpart, including coordinating with other PMs and stakeholders outside your immediate team.

Strong enough grasp of software architecture to draft technical proposals that engineers and the PM can trust, even without owning final sign-off.
