As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. About the Role: As a Senior Program Manager 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 complex, cross-functional programs end-to-end, operating independently from concept through measurable delivery. Drive roadmap alignment across TER and partner engineering organizations, facilitating cross-org planning that ties program priorities to CrowdStrike's strategic imperatives and aligns leadership on sequencing, dependencies, and commitments. Lead TER's quarterly and annual strategic planning — owning the process, documentation, and how the org prioritizes and staffs work. Act as the neutral party across engineering and leadership teams, navigating roadmap conflicts and competing senior-leader priorities to build consensus. Partner with engineering leaders at every level, from unblocking technical issues with engineers to delivering synthesized executive updates on program health, risks, and decisions needed. Anticipate cross-team dependencies and risks before they become blockers, and drive mitigation with clear accountability. Reduce friction in how TER plans and delivers, build a culture of accountability across distributed teams, and mentor junior program managers. AI Tooling (30%) Build AI-powered workflows, dashboards, and automated reporting that improve portfolio visibility and cut manual overhead. Deploy AI agents and integrations across Jira, GitLab, monitoring, and infrastructure systems that automatically surface program health, risks, and dependencies. Automate routine program management work to free capacity for strategic planning
