Strategy & Operations Project Manager

United States

Dragos is on a relentless mission to defend industrial organizations that provide us with the necessities of modern civilization; running water, functioning electricity, and safe industrial working environments. As the market leader in ICS/OT Cybersecurity, we are dedicated to arming our customers with best-in-class technology, threat intelligence, and services to protect their systems as effectively and efficiently as possible. We’re a remote-first culture with operations in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. We’re looking for mission-oriented teammates who embody our core values of authenticity, transparency, and trust. Are you ready to make a difference? Come join a mission that can save the world! 

About the Role: 

Dragos is seeking a Strategy & Operations Project Manager to join the Office of the CEO, reporting directly to the Chief of Staff. This role is the execution engine of the Office of the CEO — responsible for ensuring that strategic decisions, leadership commitments, and cross-functional initiatives land with discipline, visibility, and accountability. 

The Chief of Staff owns the strategy, relationships, and leadership of the Office of the CEO. The Strategy & Operations Project Manager owns the operational machinery that makes it run: project plans, milestone tracking, action item follow-through, status reporting, and intake management. This is a supporting but high-leverage role — the S&O Project Manager’s job is to make the Chief of Staff and the Executive Leadership team dramatically more effective by ensuring that nothing in the portfolio slips, stalls, or loses visibility. 

The ideal candidate is a structured, proactive executor who thrives in ambiguity, can manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously, and takes genuine ownership of the tracking and delivery mechanics that keep a fast-moving executive office running cleanly.

Responsibilities: 

  • Own project tracking and milestone management for active M&A integrations, including cross-functional workstream coordination, action item tracking, and executive status reporting. 
  • Establish and maintain integration calendars, risk logs, and decision registers that give the Chief of Staff real-time visibility into progress and blockers across all active integrations. 
  • Coordinate with People, Finance, Legal, IT, and GTM teams to surface integration dependencies and drive resolution on open items — escalating to the Chief of Staff when decisions or unblocking require leadership involvement. 
  • Develop standardized intake templates and integration playbooks to accelerate future acquisitions, capturing lessons learned from each integration cycle. 
  • Track all action items and commitments generated from ELT meetings and leadership forums, maintaining a current, complete log that the Chief of Staff can rely on without having to chase status themselves. 
  • Build and maintain project plans for cross-functional initiatives that the Chief of Staff is driving, ensuring timelines, owners, and milestones are documented and current. 
  • Proactively surface risks, timeline slippage, and items at risk of falling through the cracks — bringing them to the Chief of Staff’s attention before they become problems. 
  • Own project execution for company-wide programs managed through the Office of the CEO, for example AI initiatives, cross functional technical projects, etc. 
  • Produce executive-grade status updates, decision trackers, and project dashboards that give leadership clear portfolio visibility without requiring them to chase information. 
  • Manage project intake across the Office of the CEO portfolio: triage incoming requests, assess scope, assign ownership, and ensure every commitment has a plan and an owner. 

Qualifications: 

  • 4–5+ years of experience managing cross-functional projects in a fast-paced enterprise environment, with a demonstrated track record of delivering complex initiatives on time and within scope. 
  • Proven ability to develop and maintain comprehensive project plans, roadmaps, action logs, and status reports that drive executive-level visibility. 
  • Strong stakeholder management skills — able to hold people accountable, surface blockers, and influence across organizational boundaries without direct authority. 
  • Experience supporting M&A integration, organizational change, or executive-level programs is highly preferred. 
  • Proficiency with project and collaboration tools, including Jira, Confluence, Slack, and Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Excel). 
  • Exceptional organizational discipline — this role manages many concurrent workstreams simultaneously and must keep every one of them current. 
  • Strong written communication skills with the ability to translate complex project status into clean, concise executive summaries. 
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity with minimal direction; able to structure and manage work that is not always neatly defined at the outset. 
  • PMP, CSM, or equivalent certification preferred.
  • Experience working in a cybersecurity, SaaS, or high-growth technology company is a strong plus. 
  • An AI-native working style is highly important — this role operates inside one of Dragos’s most active AI enablement programs, and the ideal candidate doesn’t just tolerate AI tools but defaults to them. Comfort using AI for research, drafting, synthesis, status reporting, and project tracking is expected from day one. 

Compensation: 

  • Salary:  $115,000
  • Competitive Equity Package  
  • Comprehensive Benefits Plan

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
