Asana · Vancouver, BC
Asana provides a work‑management platform that helps teams coordinate tasks, projects and goals. The Security organization safeguards employees, users and customers by addressing threats, enabling secure product development and embedding security into everyday operations. As a Senior Security Technical Program Manager based in Vancouver, you will act as the connective tissue across the Security team, shaping how the function plans, measures progress and communicates. Day‑to‑day responsibilities include leading cross‑functional special projects that introduce new security capabilities, owning annual and quarterly planning cycles to turn multi‑year strategy into executable roadmaps, defining and maintaining the team’s KPI framework for risk posture and program health, building dashboards and reporting cadences for leadership visibility, and establishing operating rhythms such as All‑Hands meetings and program reviews. You will also partner with Engineering, Product, IT, Legal and Compliance to influence how security work is prioritized across the organization. The role suits candidates with eight or more years of technical program management experience, preferably in a security‑focused area such as security engineering, GRC, product or infrastructure security, who can engage technical teams, influence without authority, operate with high autonomy and are comfortable learning and applying emerging tools like AI to improve productivity and decision‑making.
