Job description
Do you thrive on managing complexity, taking ownership, and driving execution?
Join our Application & Infrastructure Security Program Management team!
Partner with the best
As a Program Manager, you will collaborate cross-functionally to lead, structure, and successfully execute our most critical security programs. We are looking for a proactive problem solver—someone who doesn't just track schedules or take notes, but owns outcomes, dives deep to get clarity, and holds global teams accountable to execution.
As a Program Manager, you will be responsible for:
- Proactive Problem Solving: Spotting potential risks early, identifying process bottlenecks, and taking early action to help keep projects on track.
- Global Team Coordination: Managing timelines, tracking dependencies, and facilitating smooth collaboration across distributed, international time zones.
- Driven to Get Clarity: Asking thoughtful questions, validating assumptions, and digging into the details until key stakeholders have necessary clarity.
- Clear Communication & Documentation: Keeping project documentation, status reports, and stakeholder updates clear, organized, and up to date.
- Process Improvement & Collaboration: Bringing strong initiative, learning from senior team members, and working as a supportive, reliable team player to refine team workflows.
To be successful in this role, you will:
- Bring foundational experience driving cross-functional projects
- Have 2+ years of experience in program management skills
- Show strong self-management, taking initiative to drive daily progress and find answers without needing constant step-by-step direction.
- Use great communication and organizational skills to keep stakeholders aligned, keep track of key details, and document decisions clearly.
- Adapt comfortably when priorities shift, keeping a positive focus and maintaining project momentum.
- Build strong relationships to motivate partners, help teams overcome day-to-day blockers, and stay persistent when challenges pop up.
- Demonstrate good judgment and proactive planning to reliably deliver high-quality work.
- Program Ownership & Execution: Taking personal accountability for project plans, tracking deliverables, and coordinating execution with cross-functional teams.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Akamai Technologies. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
