Senior Technical Program Manager, Compliance and Platform
Lila Sciences is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead cross-functional programs spanning software engineering, security, IT, labs, and AI teams. This role focuses on driving the planning, execution, and delivery of the company's compliance roadmap, including FedRAMP readiness and other certifications required for government and regulated deployments. Additionally, the position involves managing critical software platform programs to enhance delivery, reliability, security posture, developer velocity, and operational excellence across the platform.
Key responsibilities include owning the end-to-end program plan for FedRAMP readiness and adjacent compliance certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. The role also entails building and managing cross-functional operating rhythms, partnering with Security/GRC to translate compliance requirements into implementable workstreams, driving remediation programs for identified gaps, and managing external-facing and third-party dependencies. Additionally, the Senior Technical Program Manager will run software platform programs that span multiple engineering teams, establish program-level metrics, and identify and resolve organizational bottlenecks.
Candidates should have over 8 years of experience in technical program management, engineering program management, or equivalent roles, with a proven track record in delivering complex, cross-functional software and infrastructure programs. Experience leading compliance, security, or audit-adjacent programs in cloud and software environments is essential, with FedRAMP experience being a strong plus. A strong working knowledge of modern cloud and software delivery systems, including AWS, identity, networking, infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and SDLC, is required. Excellent stakeholder management skills, strong written and verbal communication abilities, and a history of driving programs to completion in fast-moving environments with high standards for quality and security are also necessary.
The expected base salary for this role ranges from $192,000 to $256,000 USD per year, complemented by bonus potential and generous early equity. The final offer will reflect the candidate's unique background, expertise, and impact.
