Job Description

For over 35 years, F-Secure has led the cybersecurity industry with our 200+ service provider partners. As the home of scam protection, we're reimagining how we protect people from modern threats through cutting-edge scam detection and solutions that are setting the industry standard. We bring together the sharpest minds of cyber security with a shared purpose: to protect people from modern threats. Here, you’ll have a real impact, making every digital moment more secure for everyone. You’ll thrive and grow in our Fellowship culture, where we dream big, trust, and challenge each other to deliver results and move with speed. You’ll be welcomed into a diverse, global team with an informal and collaborative culture where your voice truly matters.

Join us in securing the digital world together – where your work will make a lasting impact.

Are you an experienced technical leader who thrives in complex delivery environments? Do you enjoy orchestrating multi-vendor implementations, managing partner expectations, and ensuring projects run smoothly from start to finish?

We’re now looking for a Technical Project Lead to join our Services function in Bengaluru.

In this role, you’ll lead end-to-end delivery of complex, partner-specific customizations—ensuring high-quality outcomes across multiple internal teams and subcontractors. You’ll provide the technical leadership, governance, and coordination required to deliver on our partner commitments while continuously improving how we work.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the way we manage implementations, reduce dependency on external project managers, and drive consistency and quality across global partner engagements.

What you will do in this role:

End-to-End Technical Delivery – You’ll take ownership of the full delivery lifecycle for partner implementations. From initial planning through go-live, you’ll coordinate cross-functional work, align teams around shared goals, and ensure we deliver on time, within scope, and to the expected quality.

Technical Leadership and Governance – You’ll define and uphold technical standards across our partner projects, lead risk management efforts, and help resolve any technical blockers. Collaborating with test leads, architects, and engineering teams, you’ll maintain delivery momentum without compromising on quality.

Coordination and Vendor Management – You’ll act as the central technical coordinator across internal developers and external vendors—ensuring everyone is aligned, dependencies are tracked, and information flows freely. You’ll reduce friction, improve visibility, and help create more reliable multi-vendor delivery models.

Quality and Compliance – You’ll help ensure every technical deliverable meets our quality expectations—both in terms of functionality and compliance. You’ll introduce quality checkpoints, review outputs, and drive improvements that reduce rework and support long-term maintainability.

Delivery Process Innovation – You’ll actively look for ways to make delivery more efficient and scalable. This includes promoting reuse of components, introducing automation where possible, and exploring how AI tools can reduce manual work and speed up delivery.

Stakeholder Communication – You’ll serve as the technical point of contact for partner engagements—facilitating workshops, translating needs into action, and managing expectations throughout the delivery journey. Internally, you’ll report on progress, risks, and opportunities for improvement.

What are we looking for?

You’ve likely spent 10+ years in technical delivery roles—perhaps as a technical project manager, architect, lead engineer, or in a similar position. You’ve worked across multi-vendor environments, led cross-functional teams, and developed a strong sense of how to balance structure with adaptability in fast-moving projects.

Technical background & delivery leadership - You understand how complex software systems come together—across APIs, integrations, microservices, and modern cloud deployments. You’ve seen how delivery can stall without technical leadership and know how to align teams around a shared technical direction. Experience with telecom or enterprise-grade software is an advantage, but not a strict requirement.

Project execution in complex environments - You’ve led multi-team and multi-vendor deliveries and can navigate competing priorities without losing focus. You’re confident in handling shifting requirements, managing timelines, resolving technical blockers, and ensuring that each step of delivery stays on track and adds value.

Process, quality & governance mindset - You take pride in high-quality, predictable delivery. You’ve worked with governance frameworks, know how to introduce quality checkpoints, and understand the cost of technical debt and rework. You care about building things that last—and about doing so efficiently.

People and stakeholder skills - You collaborate naturally with architects, test leads, developers, and business stakeholders. You’re comfortable running workshops, translating technical decisions, and managing expectations. You know how to keep a partner informed and confident—even when challenges arise

Working in a global environment - Our partners and teams span multiple countries and time zones, and your ability to communicate clearly and professionally in English is essential. You understand how to work effectively across cultures and locations—adjusting communication styles, being mindful of context, and building trust in a remote or hybrid setting.

Experience in the telecommunications industry, global or cross-cultural delivery, and professional certifications like PMP or Agile are all considered a plus.

What will you get from us?

• Welcome to the good side – the home of scam protection! Work with industry-leading experts defining the future of cybersecurity and scam protection.
• Thrive in our Fellowship culture where we empower, trust, challenge, and support each other in doing our best work.
