Technical Program Manager III
Blackstone Talent Group, Mountain View, CA, United States
Job Summary
Staff TPM - Security and Infra
Databricks is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to drive high-complexity, high-impact technical programs in the Infrastructure Security domain. This isn’t just another TPM role – it’s an opportunity to transform how Databricks runs and operates. Join a team that’s more interested in getting it right than being right and cares more about winning the game than who scored the points.
This role will be part of the central Transformation and Program Management Office, led by the AVP of Strategy and Execution.
Impact You’ll Have
Own program business and technical outcomes end-to-end, ensuring direct, measurable business impact.
Lead large-scale, cross-functional teams—often with competing priorities—to deliver high-quality, impactful business or technical outcomes.
Drive complex, cross-organizational programs spanning multiple domains, ranging from internal platform improvements to customer-facing software delivery, including efforts that reduce material security, compliance, or operational risk.
Measure the quantifiable impact of implemented outcomes and define clear KPIs to ensure successful execution and sustainable improvement.
Enable structure and clarity in ambiguous problem spaces, driving decisions and mitigating risks even with incomplete data.
Maintain a deep technical understanding of the solutions being built, identifying hidden technical and security risks and resolving upstream and downstream technical dependencies.
Act as a force multiplier by mentoring other TPMs, introducing scalable processes, and driving organizational efficiency at the company level.
What We Look For
Experience leading cross‑functional security or risk‑reduction initiatives (e.g., security posture improvements, access control hardening, vulnerability management, audit readiness, or certification lifecycle programs) is a strong plus.
Good understanding of IT Infrastructure domains: Identity Management, Network, Cloud Environments, Collaboration Tools, Endpoint, Service Management, and general software engineering domains.
8+ years of experience driving strategic technical initiatives across multiple functions and influencing VP+ stakeholders.
Experience creating and evolving program management frameworks and practices.
Expertise in Fit‑Gap Analysis and leading design and technical trade‑off discussions to closure.
Advanced ability to define and break down ambiguous and complex business problems.
Strong communication skills with the ability to convey complex ideas authoritatively and influence executives and department leadership.
Experience in the enterprise software industry; SaaS and B2B experience preferred.
Thrives in a rapidly scaling, dynamic startup environment.
Bachelor’s degree required.
Knowledge of Databricks products is a plus.
