Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. About the Role: As a Program Manager III in our Technology Excellence & Resilience (TER) organization — the team that ensures CrowdStrike's availability, reliability, and resilience through best-in-class infrastructure and engineering practices — you will own and drive complex, cross-functional engineering programs spanning multiple teams and organizations. You'll mobilize stakeholders across organizational boundaries, manage dependencies and competing priorities, ensure every team understands its role and commitments, and partner closely with engineering managers, technical leads, and cross-functional teams globally to surface critical issues early and drive programs to resolution with quality, consistency, and urgency. This role pairs hands-on program leadership with building AI-powered solutions that automate routine work, surface insights, and enhance decision-making for the teams you support. We're seeking program managers who are energetic, eager to learn, and flexible, and who thrive in a fast-paced environment through innovative, AI-enhanced program management. PLEASE NOTE: This role is hybrid, requiring 2-3 days per week on-site at one of the posted locations. What You'll Do: Program Management (70%) Own and drive complex, cross-functional engineering programs end-to-end across TER and the broader organization — scoping requirements, building delivery schedules, managing dependencies within and across teams, and driving milestones to completion. You'll partner directly with engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders at all levels, moving fluidly between unblocking engineers on technical issues and delivering clear, actionable program updates to leadership. Success requires technical fluency across infrastructure, cloud operations, observability, and platform engineering so you can align programs to business objectives, facilitate technical decision-making, and exercise sound judgment on operational trade-offs. You'll proactively track program health across a distributed, global stakeholder landscape, surface risks and blockers before they impact delivery, escalate and drive critical issues to resolution with urgency, and keep all participating teams aligned and accountable to their commitments. You'll also contribute to strategic planning and roadmap discussions, coach teams on program management frameworks and shared accountability, and identify and operationalize improvements to program delivery processes. AI Tooling Creation (30%) Build AI-powered solutions that scale your impact: automated dashboards and reporting systems using Claude skills and agentic workflows; intelligent integrations across Jira, GitLab, monitoring, and infrastructure syst
