You'll bring order to complexity. Application owners across the firm have cryptographic needs - certificate requests, encryption integrations, key management queries, compliance obligations and they land with us from every direction, with no consistent intake, no shared prioritisation, and no clear line of sight on when things will be delivered. Your job is to fix that. You'll own the demand pipeline from first contact to delivery: structured intake, transparent prioritisation, stakeholder communication, and a backlog that engineering can execute with confidence. You'll work closely with our Security and Technical Subject Matter Experts, they own the cryptographic depth; you own the process discipline that turns their expertise into reliable, measurable delivery for the application teams who depend on us.
