INTRODUCTION
Cyberhaven is building the AI-native data security platform for the agentic enterprise. Our data lineage technology traces the full lifecycle of enterprise data across endpoints, browsers, SaaS, and cloud, and that foundation has made us a market leader in DLP and DSPM. It's also the launch pad for the next generation of products we're bringing to market.
We are looking for a Director of Technical Program Management to own end-to-end planning and execution across Cyberhaven's most complex, cross-organizational product initiatives. This role is accountable for release predictability, execution visibility, and operating discipline across the entire engineering organization, not a single team or program, but the system of programs that make up Cyberhaven's roadmap.
This is an individual contributor role: influence and impact are driven through expertise, judgment, and cross-functional leadership rather than headcount or direct reports. The person in this role is expected to operate as a peer to engineering leadership, shaping strategy and operating cadence at the organizational level while still being hands-on with the planning, tracking, and execution work itself.
This role also serves as the primary architect of engineering leadership's monthly and quarterly business reviews, providing decision support, surfacing risk, and driving follow-through across the company's highest-priority engineering programs.
This role goes well beyond traditional program management. It requires deep technical fluency to engage credibly with senior engineering leaders and architects, strong executive presence and organizational judgment to shape leadership priorities, and systems-level thinking to turn fragmented operational signals into the metrics, reporting, and AI-enabled automation that let Cyberhaven scale how it plans, tracks, communicates, and reviews technical work.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Program Leadership and Executive Support
- Own end-to-end planning, execution, and coordination across Cyberhaven's most complex, multi-team, cross-organizational programs, partnering directly with engineering and product leadership
- Set the strategy for how Cyberhaven improves predictability in its release model, including how scope changes, readiness risks, and cross-team dependencies are tracked and escalated
- Architect and run the engineering operating cadence, including monthly and quarterly business reviews, by consolidating team updates, preparing leadership readouts, and driving follow-through on action items at the executive level
- Partner with engineering leadership to translate company and organizational strategy into clear execution plans, success criteria, reporting standards, and operating mechanisms across the entire engineering org
- Define and standardize org-wide success metrics across quality, release health, and velocity, driving greater predictability company-wide while enabling team-specific metrics where needed
- Build and own the review cadences, status reporting, leadership readouts, and action follow-up systems used to surface execution risk and intervention needs across all teams and programs
- Establish data hygiene and governance standards in systems like Jira and related planning artifacts so that release, ownership, status, and progress signals are reliable at scale
- Lead the most ambiguous, highest-priority engineering initiatives that require additional structure, executive visibility, and follow-through, often stepping in where no clear owner exists
- Act as a thought partner and mentor to other program managers and engineering leaders, raising the bar on operating discipline, accountability, and reporting consistency across the org, without formal management authority
AI-Enabled Automation
- Set the direction for AI-assisted dashboards and reporting workflows that give leadership visibility into program health, release scope, delivery risk, and team performance
- Design and build automations that connect tools like Jira, Notion, GitHub, and Slack to surface planning, execution, release, and other delivery signals across the org
- Automate recurring program management processes such as status collection, follow-up tracking, review preparation, and stakeholder reporting at scale
- Use these workflows to transform release reporting, business review inputs, leadership updates, and recurring status reporting, materially reducing manual status chasing across engineering
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Release Management, Engineering Operations, or a similar technical cross-functional role, with a track record of operating at Director-level scope as an individual contributor
- Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end planning and execution for the most complex engineering initiatives, spanning multiple teams and organizations
- Strong technical fluency and systems thinking, especially in engineering process, release workflows, operational reporting, and execution management
- Proven ability to drive accountability, coordination, and follow-through across an entire engineering organization without direct authority
- Track record of defining success metrics, tracking execution health, and turning operational signals into clear, executive-level reporting and decision support
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience owning monthly and quarterly business reviews, executive-facing updates, and cross-functional status reporting
- Deep familiarity with Jira-based workflows, reporting, and process hygiene at scale
- Strong judgment in prioritization, escalation, and leadership support in ambiguous or fast-moving situations, with the credibility to influence senior stakeholders
- Comfort using automation and AI to improve reporting quality, operating efficiency, and recurring workflow execution
- Experience owning QBRs, executive reporting, and engineering metrics programs at the org or company level
- Familiarity with DORA-style metrics, SLO/SLA thinking, release hygiene, and delivery scorecards
- Experience building AI-assisted dashboards, automations, or reporting systems
- Experience working in security, SaaS, endpoint, platform, or infrastructure-heavy environments
- Experience supporting globally distributed engineering organizations
- Prior experience operating at Director or Principal level as an individual contributor (not a people manager)

Translate your credentials for U.S. specialty occupation standards
Singapore polytechnic diplomas don't automatically satisfy the H-1B1 visa bachelor's degree requirement. Confirm your NUS or NTU degree maps to a directly related U.S. field using your O*NET occupation profile before targeting roles.
Target employers with established LCA filing infrastructure
Use Migrate Mate to identify companies with active DOL Labor Condition Application history for Technical Director roles, so you're approaching employers who already understand the H-1B1 visa filing process rather than educating them from scratch.
Verify your job title qualifies as a specialty occupation
Technical Director spans creative, engineering, and technology contexts. The DOL evaluates the specific duties, not just the title. Confirm your role requires a degree in a directly related discipline, not general management or leadership skills alone.
Negotiate the LCA filing timeline into your offer stage
The employer must file and receive DOL certification of the LCA before your consulate appointment. Build at least 10 business days for LCA processing into your start date negotiation so certification doesn't delay your visa stamp.
Check prevailing wage requirements before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for your location and job category. Run your role through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm the offer meets the DOL threshold before signing, not after.
Prepare for consular nonimmigrant intent scrutiny at your interview
H-1B1 visa does not permit dual intent, meaning consular officers assess whether you intend to remain temporarily. Have clear documentation of Singapore ties and a defined employment period to address intent questions directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Director role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore purposes?
It depends on the specific duties, not the title. A Technical Director overseeing engineering systems, software architecture, or broadcast technology typically qualifies because the role requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related technical field. A Technical Director in a general creative or production management capacity may face more scrutiny if USCIS determines the position doesn't require a specific degree discipline.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to the H-1B for Technical Director roles?
The H-1B1 visa has no lottery, a dedicated 5,400-visa annual allocation for Singaporeans that rarely fills, and processes entirely at the consulate rather than through USCIS petition. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so you can't concurrently pursue a green card while on H-1B1 status the way you can on H-1B. For Singaporeans with a qualifying offer, H-1B1 is typically faster to obtain.
How do I find Technical Director jobs where employers already understand H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history specific to H-1B1 Singapore. This surfaces companies that have already navigated the process, so conversations about sponsorship start from a position of employer familiarity rather than requiring you to explain the visa category from scratch.
Can my employer file the LCA for a Technical Director role before I have a confirmed start date?
Yes. The DOL allows LCA filing with a projected employment start date, and employers can file before a final start date is confirmed. The certified LCA is valid for up to three years. Your employer should file as soon as the offer is extended to avoid certification delays pushing back your consulate appointment and actual start date.
Does H-1B1 Singapore cover Technical Director roles at startup companies or only large enterprises?
Employer size isn't a statutory eligibility factor for H-1B1 visa. What matters is that the employer can demonstrate the role is a genuine specialty occupation and that they'll meet the prevailing wage obligation set by DOL. Startups can sponsor H-1B1 visas, but they face closer scrutiny on financial viability and whether a Technical Director role at an early-stage company genuinely requires the level of specialization H-1B1 demands.
