Staff Technical Program Manager (Security)

This role will be based in Mountain View, CA.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

About the team:

LinkedIn's members entrust us with their information every day and we take their security seriously. Our core value of putting our members first powers all the decisions we make, including how we manage and protect the data of our members and customers. Information Security at LinkedIn is dedicated to protecting and securing business-critical member data and company assets. Our core mission is to empower LinkedIn to create a secure and thriving platform for every member of the global workforce. 

We’re hiring a Staff Security Technical Program Manager to drive execution across our Production and Enterprise Security organization. You’ll own critical programs such as vulnerability management, lead cross-functional security initiatives, and establish the operating rhythm that keeps teams aligned on priorities, OKRs, milestones, and outcomes.

You’ll bring structure to complex programs, surface risks and dependencies early, drive decisions to closure, and ensure commitments don’t fall through the cracks. You’ll provide leadership with clear, accurate program status while serving as a force multiplier for engineers by removing blockers and creating clarity without adding unnecessary process.
