About us
Security Products & Solutions (SPS), part of Securitas Technology, designs and manufactures industry-leading physical security solutions, including video monitoring, electronic access control, intrusion systems, and analytics. Our portfolio spans 3xLOGIC, PACOM, and Sonitrol, with a combined legacy of over 100 years protecting people, property, and assets.
Position Summary
We're seeking a Senior Program Manager to own and deliver SPS's most strategic, complex initiatives (multi-product, multi-region), while establishing portfolio governance and tracking small-to-medium projects led by Product Managers and Engineering Managers. You'll translate executive strategy into executable roadmaps, drive cross-functional accountability in a matrix environment, and ensure measurable outcomes across hardware, firmware, cloud software, and edge controllers.
Key ResponsibilitiesStrategic Program Leadership

• Own end-to-end delivery of high-impact programs spanning Video, Access Control, Intrusion, and Cloud-defining clear mission, vision, scope, success criteria, and KPIs/OKRs tied to SPS strategy.
• Convert executive goals into program roadmaps with milestone sequencing, dependency mapping, and value realization targets.

Portfolio & Governance

• Establish lightweight portfolio governance (cadence, artifacts, RACI, decision forums) that harmonizes strategic programs with small/medium projects owned by PMs/EMs-ensuring visibility, risk surfacing, and prioritization across the portfolio.
• Maintain a single source of truth for scope, schedule, budget, and risks, with dashboards for executives and stakeholders.

Cross-Functional Orchestration (Matrix Leadership)

• Lead without direct authority; align Product, Engineering, QA, Operations, Supply Chain, Security/Compliance, and Customer/Sales teams to deliver integrated outcomes.
• Facilitate trade-off decisions and unblock inter-team dependencies; escalate only when necessary with clear options/impacts.

Delivery, Risk & Dependency Management

• Drive disciplined risk management (qual/quant), critical path control, and dependency management across products and platforms.
• Apply hybrid delivery (Agile/SAFe + Stage-Gate as appropriate), orchestrating ceremonies and reviews for predictable value flow.

Change Management & Adoption

• Lead organizational and technical change management, preparing teams for new processes, tools, and releases; ensure measurable adoption and benefits realization.

Financials & Resource Planning

• Own program budgets, forecasts, and resource/capacity planning; partner with Finance and functional leaders to optimize spend vs. outcomes.

Vendor/Partner & Compliance

• Coordinate external vendors/partners (hardware, cellular/cloud services, integrators) to meet timelines, SLAs, and quality.
• Partner with Security/Compliance to incorporate relevant standards (e.g., NIST/ISO, SOC 2) and physical security best practices into program plans.

Measurement & Executive Communication

• Operate with data-driven rigor: define leading/lagging indicators, maintain dashboards, and deliver concise executive readouts (status, risks, decisions).
• Capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement of SPS's program/portfolio practices.

Coaching & Scale

• Coach PMs/EMs managing small/medium projects on planning, risk, and reporting; uplift SPS program maturity via templates, playbooks, and tooling.

Qualifications

• Experience: 8-12+ years of progressive program/project leadership managing multi-disciplinary, cross-functional initiatives (hardware, firmware, cloud/software), ideally within physical security, IoT/edge, or closely related domains.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or related field; advanced degree a plus.
• Preferred certifications: PMP / PgMP, SAFe (e.g., RTE/Lean Portfolio), CSM/ACP, or equivalent.
• Skills: Matrix leadership, structured problem-solving, and executive presence; mastery of program/portfolio tools (e.g., Jira/Confluence, Smartsheet/MS Project, Power BI or similar); strong financial acumen, change management, and stakeholder communication; familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to cloud/physical security (e.g., NIST/ISO, SOC 2).

Preferred Attributes

• Experience coordinating global teams and vendors; orchestrating Scaled Agile/SAFe events and multi-team dependencies.
• Background with security systems technologies (video, access, intrusion) and integrated cloud-edge architectures.
