We protect the digital world by ensuring the security, privacy, and authenticity of every interaction. Our AI-powered DigiCert ONE platform unifies PKI, DNS, and certificate lifecycle management, to secure infrastructure, software, devices, messages, AI content and agents. Learn why more than 100,000 organizations, including 90% of the Fortune 500, choose DigiCert to stop today’s threats and prepare for a quantum-safe future at www.digicert.com\nJob summary\nWe're looking for a Technical Project Manager to own the planning, execution, and evidence behind our portfolio of annual audit and certification programs, anchored by WebTrust and ETSI/eIDAS and extending to [SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other attestations]. These audits reach nearly every function in the company: PKI operations, product, engineering, IT, validation, support, legal, HR, finance, facilities, and more. You'll keep scope accurate, evidence complete and on time, findings remediated with clear ownership, and reports delivered ahead of root program, regulatory, and customer deadlines.\nYou'll run multiple audit programs in parallel, each with its own auditor, criteria, calendar, and deliverables, and you'll find the overlap between them so teams aren't asked for the same evidence five times.\nWhat you will do\nRun the end-to-end audit lifecycle across multiple programs, from scoping and readiness through fieldwork, report issuance, and publication. Core programs include WebTrust (CA, SSL Baseline with Network Security, EV SSL, Code Signing, S/MIME) and ETSI (EN 319 401, EN 319 411-1/-2, eIDAS conformity assessments), alongside [SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, Adobe AATL, other programs].\nManage the master audit calendar. Sequence overlapping audit windows, auditor fieldwork, and report deadlines so teams aren't overloaded and nothing collides.\nCarry the unified control framework forward. Take ownership of the control mapping already in flight and extend it across each program, so evidence can be reused across audits and gaps between frameworks are visible early.\nWork across the whole company. Identify control owners wherever they sit (engineering, infrastructure, IT, validation and vetting, support, HR, legal, finance, facilities and physical security, vendor management) and keep them engaged and accountable through each cycle.\nCoordinate evidence collection with clear expectations, deadlines, and completeness tracking, so nothing surfaces for the first time during fieldwork.\nSupport auditor and assessor coordination. Help the audit leads keep interactions with external auditors and conformity assessment bodies running smoothly by scheduling sessions, tracking and routing requests, and keeping clarifications and draft report reviews moving.\nCoordinate the Common Control Framework (CCF) program. Support CCF planning, timelines, control-mapping activities, ownership tracking, GRC platform readiness, and cross-functional follow-up across audit, compliance, risk, technology, and business teams.\nPrepare people for fieldwork. Brief interviewees, schedule walkthroughs, and make sure control owners can explain and demonstrate their controls.\nDrive findings and nonconformity remediation across programs. Triage observations, assign owners, track corrective actions to closure, and recognize when one issue produces findings in several audits.\nCommunicate clearly upward. Provide concise, bottom-line-first status across the portfolio, with risks, decisions needed, and recommended actions.\nWhat you will have\n5+ years of project or program management experience in compliance, security, or a regulated technical environment\nHands-on experience managing multiple third-party audits or certifications at once, including direct work with external auditors\nExperience with WebTrust and/or ETSI audits, or comparable attestations such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001\nExperience managing projects u sing Agile and/or Waterfall methodologies \nProficiency with project and documentation tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet) and strong spreadsheet skills\nSolid understanding of the audit lifecycle: scoping, management assertions, evidence sampling, findings, and report issuance\nProven ability to coordinate across a large organization and drive outcomes through influence rather than authority, including with teams that don't see themselves as compliance stakeholders\nTechnical fluency to engage with PKI and security concepts (CA hierarchies, key management, certificate lifecycle, HSMs) and ask the right questions of subject-matter experts\nComfort building structure where it doesn't exist and holding owners accountable to deadlines\nNice to have\nDirect experience in a public Certificate Authority or Trust Service Provider\nExperience working with control frameworks that let evidence be reused across multiple audits\nFamiliarity with the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, root program policies, and CCADB audit disclosure requirements\nKnowledge of eIDAS and qualified trust services (QWACs, QSealCs, qualified timestamps) and supervisory body processes\nCertifications such as CISA, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, or PMP (a plus, not a requirement)\nExperience working with globally distributed teams, including overlap with European working hours\nHow You'll Be Successful\nEvery audit starts with accurate scope, complete evidence, and no surprises in fieldwork.\nTeams are asked for evidence once and it's reused across programs wherever possible.\nEvery control has a named owner who knows what's expected and when.\nReports are issued and submitted ahead of root program, regulatory, and customer deadlines.\nFindings are remediated with verifiable evidence and don't repeat the following year.\nLeadership always knows portfolio-wide audit status, risk, and decisions needed.\nBenefits\nCompetitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package \nGenerous paid time off, including holidays and additional leave options \nFamily-friendly leave policies, including maternity, paternity, and other supportive leave programs \nHealth and wellness support, including medical cover (where applicable), gym reimbursements, and mental well-being resources \nPension, life insurance, and income protection benefits (location dependent) \nEmployee Assistance Program with 24/7 confidential support for employees and their families \nEducation assistance and professional development opportunities \nAccess to LinkedIn Learning and continuous learning resources \nEmployee referral bonus program and additional company perks and discounts \nBusiness travel insurance and global employee support programs \nTo protect candidate information and maintain a secure hiring process, all applications must be submitted through our careers portal.
