It defines the frameworks, standards, and metrics that empower Engineering and Operations to deliver consistently and efficiently. In practice, the team:\nUnify the Service Experience - ensure that all security services, regardless of technical domain, follow a consistent delivery approach that enhances quality, transparency, and customer confidence.\n\nBridge Strategic and Operational Layers - connect the CISO's Engineering, Operations, and Governance towers through shared processes, common metrics, and maturity initiatives.\n\nInstitutionalize Service Excellence - establish a global framework for measuring quality, SLA performance, and customer satisfaction (KPI/KRI/NPS) without dictating technical execution.\n\nStrengthen Readiness and Handoffs - coordinate readiness reviews, onboarding, and pre-launch validation to ensure services are operationally fit before handover to Operations.\n\nAccelerate Continuous Improvement - lead cross-functional improvement programs based on service performance data and post-implementation insight, feeding lessons learned back into Engineering and Operations.\n\nEnable Sustainable Growth - develop tools, dashboards, and delivery methodologies that scale globally, supporting rather than duplicating existing engineering or operational responsibilities.\n\nChampion Collaboration and Clarity - serve as the single point of coordination for security service delivery excellence, ensuring alignment and clear ownership across all security towers.\n\nWe are seeking an experienced Security Project Manager to plan, coordinate, and deliver a portfolio of security-related projects and initiatives across our global security organization and customer security engagements. This role combines hands-on project management- coordinating multiple concurrent projects, managing dependencies and shared risks across workstreams, and ensuring consistent governance and reporting across the security portfolio.\nThis is a delivery-focused role: the Security Project Manager operationalizes priorities and direction set by security leadership, rather than setting them independently.\nThe Security Project Manager will collaborate deeply across central security functions including Security Engineering, Security Operations, Security Governance, Corporate Security, and Service Management/Customer Success, ensuring alignment, clarity, and accountability for shared outcomes across multiple projects. This role requires prior experience delivering cybersecurity projects, and a strong understanding of security programs, technologies, and operational processes.\nKey Responsibilities\nProgram & Portfolio Delivery\nOwn the coordinated delivery of a portfolio of related security projects and initiatives, including internal security enhancement work, customer onboarding programs, get-to-green remediation plans, and cross-functional transformation initiatives.\n\nMaintain a consolidated view of the security project portfolio, tracking cross-project dependencies, shared resources, risks, and priorities.\n\nSupport and operationalize Detection Engineering sprint planning, including backlog organization, sprint facilitation, and delivery tracking.\n\nCoordination & Oversight\nCoordinate cross-functional teams across the Security Organisation, such as Security Engineering and Security Operations, to drive successful execution of projects and programmes.\n\nPartner with the wider company including Infrastructure, Cloud, and Service Management or Customer Success Management to ensure successful outcomes.\n\nSecurity Knowledge and Leadership\nGood knowledge and understanding of cybersecurity domains such as SOC operations, managed detection and response, security engineering, vulnerability/exposure management, and governance frameworks.\n\nProvide clarity and structure to technical teams, acting as the bridge between technical teams and project execution discipline.\n\nAct as a trusted delivery leader, driving accountability and establishing consistent communication with stakeholders, including regular programme-level reporting to security leadership.\n\nProject Management Excellence\nEnsure projects adhere to governance, compliance, and risk-management frameworks.\n\nDevelop and maintain detailed project and programme plans, timelines, communication structures, and reporting dashboards.\n\nIdentify risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies while driving accountability among stakeholders across multiple concurrent projects.\n\nFacilitate workshops, requirements gathering sessions, and briefings with both technical and non-technical audiences.\n\nEnsure high-quality documentation, including project/programme charters, status reports, and post-implementation reviews.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nDemonstrated experience (3+ years) managing and delivering cybersecurity-focused projects and programs in mid-to-large enterprise environments, preferably as part of a CISO organisation, or for an IT services company delivering managed or professional security services.\n\nExperience coordinating multiple concurrent projects or workstreams, including managing dependencies, shared resources, and competing priorities.\n\nProven ability to drive project outcomes with clarity, structure, and consistency.\n\nExcellent communication skills and stakeholder management capabilities, including experience reporting to senior leadership.\n\nStrong analytical and problem-solving abilities.\n\nAbility to manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience managing initiatives involving one or more of the following technologies: Splunk Enterprise & Enterprise Security, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Qualys, or CyberArk.\n\nExperience supporting customer onboarding programs, managed security services, or security consulting delivery.\n\nExperience mentoring or providing delivery oversight to other project managers or coordinators.\n\nProject or program management certifications (PMP, PgMP, PRINCE2, Agile/Scrum).\n\nAdditional mandatory requirements:\nNationality or Work Authorization: Spanish or Portuguese nationality, or alternatively a permanent work permit/VISA for Spain or Portugal.\nLanguage Proficiency: Advanced level of Spanish and English (both written and spoken).\nWhy Syntax?\nBecome a part of our success story and work in a company with exciting innovation projects that are causing a stir across the industry.
