Come protect SunPower customers and change the way the world is powered!  SunPower is looking for an experienced Principal Technical Program Manager who can ensure SunPower’s use of third parties meet our customer's security and privacy needs.  These third parties are business partners and often provide software-as-a-service (SaaS) to SunPower.  Occasionally these third parties are potential acquisitions and you will lead security due diligence efforts.   

You will not only be responsible for assessing these third parties and driving the right security controls, but also for innovating how we hold high-security standards at scale.   As a result, a strong candidate should be a technical security professional who can communicate with technical teams, non-technical audiences, and executives.  Project management as well as security and business metrics skills are foundational. A passion for renewable energy is a plus (if not, we’ll inspire you). 

Security leaders at SunPower have a demonstrated ability to make a significant security impact through strong communications, prioritization, and partnership with SunPower teams.  We nurture a strong security culture and focus on scaling our security program as SunPower grows rapidly.  We invest in our teams with particular attention to high standards, career growth for our team members, maintaining an inclusive environment, and building a diverse team.   

You will have the opportunity to mentor others and grow their security skills while being a thought leader for SunPower.  You will also be mentored by and learn from engineering and renewable energy leaders.  Finally, you will have our support to maintain a healthy balance between your work and your personal life.   

Why SunPower?  Whether you like interesting security, technology, renewable energy, or working with smart, fun people, we have you covered.  We have one of the largest AWS IoT (Internet of Things) deployments and we’re building with cutting-edge cloud products such as AWS Lambda.  We are creating innovative renewable energy solutions such as virtual power plants and bi-directional electric vehicle charging for whole-home backup power.  As a security team, we pride ourselves on being very engaged with other SunPower builders, while holding high standards.  Because that’s just more fun. 

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and underrepresented minorities are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At SunPower, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
