About Polymarket

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future.

We're growing fast, both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.

About the Role

Our Security and IT teams are responsible for protecting a platform that handles billions in trading volume while maintaining the trust of users who rely on us for critical market information. We're looking for a Technical Project Manager to own the execution of security programs that keep our infrastructure secure and our compliance posture strong.

You'll work directly with our Security Engineering, IT, Legal, and Compliance teams to drive initiatives from pen testing cycles to SOC 2 compliance. This is a hands-on role where you'll build program management infrastructure from scratch, translate complex security work into clear milestones, and remove blockers that slow down critical security initiatives.

The right person thrives in fast-moving environments, communicates risk clearly to executives, and has deep experience managing security programs at scale. You'll be the coordination layer that lets our security engineers focus on building while ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Own end-to-end program management for security initiatives including pen testing cycles, vulnerability remediation tracking, incident response readiness, and security reviews for new product launches

  • Build and maintain program infrastructure including risk registers, status dashboards, escalation paths, and retrospective processes

  • Coordinate third-party security assessments and audits across Engineering, Legal, and Compliance teams

  • Drive IT programs spanning device management, SaaS tooling, identity and access management, and endpoint security

  • Facilitate sprint ceremonies and maintain healthy backlogs for security and IT teams while balancing sprint-level execution with multi-quarter roadmap planning

  • Embed with security engineering teams to track delivery of internal security tooling and detection pipelines, translating complex work into clear org-wide visibility

  • Identify and remove blockers early, escalating with context and proposed solutions to keep programs moving

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of technical program management experience with at least 2 years owning security or infrastructure programs

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex programs simultaneously in ambiguous environments without losing detail

  • Strong technical fluency and experience working with security frameworks like SOC 2, CIS v8, NIST CSF, and vulnerability management lifecycles

  • Proven track record of building program management infrastructure from scratch in fast-moving environments

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to present risk trade-offs clearly to executives

  • (Plus) Experience at crypto, fintech, or high-security-bar startups

  • (Plus) Familiarity with tools like Vanta, Drata, Jira, or Linear

  • (Plus) Background in software engineering or security engineering

  • (Plus) PMP, PMI-ACP, or CSM certification

Benefits
  • Competitive salary & equity

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage

  • 401k match

  • Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
