About the Internship

We are seeking a Security Program Management Intern to support the Technology, Data, and Intelligence (TDI) Security team by assisting in tracking, coordinating, and reporting on key security initiatives. This role is PM/Analyst focused (not hands-on engineering) and is ideal for someone interested in coordinating the execution of security programs, engaging in cross-functional collaboration, and operational execution.

The intern will work closely with Security Engineers, TPMs, and cross-functional partners to ensure projects stay on track, artifacts are organized, and leadership has clear visibility into progress and value delivery.

What You'll Get To Do

Project Tracking & Coordination

• Track the status of security initiatives such as Annual Secrets Rotation and similar cross-functional OSIC programs relating to Information Security domains (e.g, Data Protection, Infrastructure Security, etc)
• Follow up with cross-functional partners to collect updates and unblock dependencies
• Maintain project trackers, inventories, and ensure accurate, up-to-date reporting to stakeholders

Program Operations & Documentation

• Validate and update Jira tickets in partnership with TPMs and engineers
• Update and maintain project documentation and runbooks
• Create and manage a centralized Confluence space for team artifacts
• Set up and organize shared drives (e.g., Google Drive) for the TDI Security team

Reporting & Readouts

• Help draft project status updates, summaries, and executive-ready readouts
• Explore using AI tools (e.g., Gemini) and custom AI agents to create prompt templates for:
• Weekly project updates
• Executive summaries
• Cross-team status reporting

Process Improvement

• Identify efficiency and completeness gaps in tracking, documentation, or visibility and propose lightweight improvements
• Help standardize how the team reports progress across initiatives

What You Will Learn

• How large-scale security programs are planned and executed
• How to work cross-functionally with engineering, IAM, infrastructure, and TPM teams
• How security initiatives are tracked, reported, and presented to leadership
• Exposure to real-world security efforts such as OSIC, secrets management, and SaaS controls

Who We Are Looking For

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Security, Business, or a related field
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Comfortable working with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Google Workspace
• Interest in information security, program management, or technical operations
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable following up with stakeholders

Nice to have

• Prior internship or project experience in program management or analytics
• Familiarity with basic security concepts (no deep technical background required)
• Interest in using AI tools to improve reporting and productivity
