The Basics
Tanium is actively seeking a Program Manager to own the program management of product development activities – from ideation through go-to-market – for their assigned portfolio, partnering closely with portfolio product leaders within the CTO's organization. This is a build role, not a maintain role. You will contribute to the design, implementation, and iteration of program management processes for a spec-driven & AI-first product development organization. The ideal candidate has a strong program/project management foundation, sharp judgment under ambiguity, and the confidence to drive cross-functional teams, including senior stakeholders, decisions and deadlines. You will represent the Product Organization in collaboration with Engineering, UX, Enablement, and Marketing to usher products through the development lifecycle. A successful candidate is a self-starter who builds forward motion with incomplete information rather than waiting on full clarity.
This position follows the Company’s hybrid schedule which currently requires employees to work in the office at one of the following locations a minimum of three days per week: Durham, NC

The job is in Durham, NC. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Durham compares. Among the 100 largest places in North Carolina, Durham is #4 by population, #17 for college degrees (#1 = most), #25 for remote work (#1 = most), #31 for long commutes (#1 = fewest). Its county, Durham County, is #1 of 100 counties for average pay ($98,601).
Durham has 291,467 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 2.7% of the population of North Carolina. It covers 119 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,453 people per square mile. The median age is 35.1, 10% younger than the state median (35.1 against 39.1).
The median gross rent is $1,508 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,508 against $1,228). Over a year that is 22.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $392,800, which is 4.8 times the median household income ($81,619). 52.3% of households own their home, 21% below the state average (52.3% against 66.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Durham-Chapel Hill, NC metropolitan area has 344,020 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $60,720 a year, 19% above the national median ($60,720 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are healthcare practitioners and technical (36,330 jobs, median $82,090); office and administrative support (33,760 jobs, median $47,840); educational instruction and library (29,220 jobs, median $60,760). The area is most specialised in life, physical, and social science (4.1 times) and computer and mathematical (2.1 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($139,480) and computer and mathematical ($130,020). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Durham County was 2.8%. 69.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Durham County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 62.2% drive alone, 1.9% use public transit, 2.2% walk, 23.4% work from home. 8.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 38% below the state average (8.6% against 13.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
57.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 61% above the state share (57.3% against 35.6%). 15.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 70% above the state share (15.4% against 9.1%). The poverty rate is 11.7%, 10% below the state rate (11.7% against 13.0%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 80°F (26.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 38°F (3.4°C). About 1,187 mm (47 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Aug is the wettest month (127 mm) and Jan the driest (72 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Chapel Hill (9 miles, rent 7% higher); Morrisville (10 miles, rent 23% higher); Carrboro (11 miles, similar rent); Hillsborough (13 miles, rent 9% lower). Rent differences are against Durham; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
