About the role

Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of Technical Program/Product Management experience working with fast-paced Security, IT, or Infrastructure engineering teams
  • Experienced with core Security programs (e.g., Vulnerability Management, Application Security Reviews, Security Incident Response) at a similarly-sized company
  • Experience working on programs related to security compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS) at a similarly-sized company
  • Worked with Engineering, Trust and Safety, Legal, and Privacy leadership to implement compliance requirements or meet regulatory needs, especially related to data protection or information security
  • Experience moving technical or engineering programs from concept to completion and promoting the impact using metrics, risk reduction, and audit-readiness outcomes
  • Can break down complex challenges into workable components and make continuous progress towards solving a problem vs. trying to boil the ocean
