• Set the strategy for how Cyberhaven improves predictability in its release model, including how scope changes, readiness risks, and cross-team dependencies are tracked and escalated.
• Architect and run the engineering operating cadence, including monthly and quarterly business reviews, by consolidating team updates, preparing leadership readouts, and driving follow-through on action items at the executive level.
• Deep familiarity with Jira-based workflows, reporting, and process hygiene at scale
• Familiarity with DORA-style metrics, SLO/SLA thinking, release hygiene, and delivery scorecards
• Highly autonomous who has run the whole show owning the operating cadence, cross-functional execution, executive reporting, prioritization, and accountability across a broad engineering organization
• Track record of defining success metrics, tracking execution health, and turning operational signals into clear, executive-level reporting and decision support
• Comfort using automation and AI to improve reporting quality, operating efficiency, and recurring workflow execution

Requirements

• Experience owning QBRs, executive reporting, and engineering metrics programs at the org or company level
• Prior experience operating at Director or Principal level as an individual contributor (not a people manager)

• Experience working in security, SaaS, endpoint, platform, or infrastructure-heavy environments
• Strong judgment in prioritization, escalation, and leadership support in ambiguous or fast-moving situations, with the credibility to influence senior stakeholders
• Experience building AI-assisted dashboards, automations, or reporting systems
• Proven ability to drive accountability, coordination, and follow-through across an entire engineering organization without direct authority
• Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end planning and execution for the most complex engineering initiatives, spanning multiple teams and organizations
• Prior startup experience and thrive in high-growth, fast-moving environments where ambiguity is the norm and you’re expected to build structure rather than inherit it
