Are you ready to own something big? Automox is turning IT admins into IT heroes by replacing traditional tools with our award winning cloud-native endpoint management platform.

At Automox you’re enabled to do your best work, grow your career, and have an impact that will be noticeable. WE ARE A_TOMOX… all that’s missing is U!
The Senior Manager, Security & IT Operations leads Automox 's Security and IT Operations functions. You'll run both teams day to day, set and execute a 6-12 month roadmap, and report directly to the CTO. This is a security-first role: you bring deep security experience and enough IT operations background to lead both well. You'll manage the IT and Security budget, assist with on-call, and lead incident response. Security spans CorpSec (corporate security), ProdSec (product security), and GRC (governance, risk, and compliance).
You'll lead a team of seven direct reports as the company continues to scale.
Security
- Turn security priorities into a concrete roadmap with clear milestones, owners, and metrics.
- Own the GRC program, treating SOC 2 as an ongoing discipline rather than a periodic event.
- Own the ProdSec program, partnering with Engineering and Product to embed security into the development lifecycle.
- Own CorpSec and lead incident response: runbooks, escalation paths, and post-incident reviews that improve response over time.
- Surface threats, resourcing gaps, and risks early, with recommendations attached.
IT Operations
- Set and execute the strategy for endpoints, identity, and SaaS at scale.
- Oversee MDM, patch compliance via Automox , hardware lifecycle, and zero-touch provisioning across macOS and Windows.
- Own the IAM program: provisioning, group design, MFA, and access reviews.
- Administer core SaaS across collaboration, source control, secrets management, and cloud, including ongoing license rationalization.
- Automate repetitive work with AI coding tools and keep it documented, measured, and maintained.
- Track KPIs across ticket responsiveness, patch and MDM coverage, access reviews, and IT spend, using them to drive improvement.
- Serve as a senior Automox power user and feedback channel to Product and Engineering.
Team Leadership
- Develop engineers and helpdesk staff, with clear career paths and succession depth.
- Coach through technical, interpersonal, and performance situations.
- Build a culture of clarity, ownership, and psychological safety across both teams.
- Anticipate hiring needs and shape the org for current execution and near-term scale.
