You Are:
UST Mexico is hiring a Senior Technical Project Manager to support the Cybersecurity Program Office's growing portfolio of security initiatives.
The opportunity:
- Lead scoping of assigned security initiatives from directional strategy into an executable plan — sequencing, dependencies, resourcing, and concrete milestones.
- For the initial assignment: lead scoping of a multi-workstream security infrastructure initiative, including defining transition criteria for retiring legacy systems and executing planned decommissioning once those criteria are met.
- Own ongoing coordination, scheduling, and cross-team communication across security, network engineering, end-user computing, and cloud operations.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for external technical partners and vendors supporting initiative delivery, managing communications and holding delivery accountable to agreed scope, timelines, and SLAs.
- Maintain real-time visibility into initiative health — tracking milestones, budget/resourcing burn, and risk logs — and provide executive-level status updates to the CPO Leader and key stakeholders.
- Track dependencies, risks, and open decisions; keep documentation current as initiatives evolve.
- Engage as a technical peer with security and network engineering teams: understand technical trade-offs, participate in architecture decisions, validate feasibility, and identify technical dependencies — not just log decisions made by others.
- Partner with technical leads, who remain focused on technical design and build, rather than day-to-day coordination and tracking.
This position description identifies the responsibilities and tasks typically associated with the performance of the position. Other relevant essential functions may be required.
What you need:
- Demonstrated experience scoping an initiative from directional strategy into an executable plan — this is not a pure execution/tracking role, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of technical project management experience, including senior or lead-level ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives, or equivalent experience.
- PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or similar certification demonstrating mastery of both Agile and traditional project management methodologies, or equivalent experience.
- Strong technical fluency with baseline independent competency in core networking concepts. Must be able to participate authentically in technical conversations with Security Architecture and Network Engineering teams around: network discovery/assessment, traffic and application flows, VLANs, IP addressing, ACLs, security zones, segmentation strategy, dependency mapping, and migration/rollback planning. This is NOT a coordination-only role — candidates must hold their own in technical discussions, not just facilitate them.
- Demonstrated experience managing technical infrastructure initiatives (network, security, cloud, or systems projects). Previous exposure to network segmentation, infrastructure modernization, or security infrastructure projects is strongly preferred.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; able to work across technical and business stakeholders without close oversight.
- Executive-ready communication skills — comfortable presenting status and options to senior stakeholders, not just peers, and translating technical progress into clear, value-based narratives for non-technical audiences.
- High level of comfort with project management and collaboration tools such as Smartsheet, Google Workspace, Jira, Confluence, and AWS.
- Pragmatic, reliable, and action-oriented working style.
