[Hiring] Manager, Security Engineering & Operations @Clari + Salesloft

Role Description

At Clari + Salesloft, our Manager, Security Engineering and Operations will be pivotal to our company’s success. You will be a foundational leader within our information security team, tasked with building and leading a world-class group of Security Analysts and Security Engineers. Your mission is to lead the talented analysts who defend our environment (Ops) and the expert engineers who build our security infrastructure (Eng).

We want a "builder"—someone who thrives in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. You will be the primary engine for our defensive strategy, expected to define the "how" once we’ve agreed on the "what." You aren't waiting for a playbook; you are writing it.

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

• Lead and Mentor: Manage a hybrid team of analysts and engineers, providing technical guidance, career development, and performance coaching.
• Program Oversight: Oversee the vulnerability management lifecycle, ensuring that scanning, triaging, and remediation efforts are executed with precision.
• Bridge the Gap: Ensure that Security Engineering is building the preventive/detective controls that Security Operations actually needs to be effective.
• Strategic Automation: Drive the "Automation and AI" mindset, moving the team away from manual triage toward automated detection, response, and remediation.
• Incident & Infrastructure Leadership: Serve as the escalation point for incidents while simultaneously overseeing the design and deployment of our security stack (SIEM, CNAPP, SWG, EDR, Vulnerability Scanners).
• Cross-Functional Influence: Partner with Engineering and Infrastructure to integrate security into the Salesloft architecture, ensuring our production environment is "secure by default."
• Executive Visibility: Translate technical engineering projects and operational risks into business context for the CISO and executive leadership.
• Security Operations: Assist with the team’s security operations workload as needed.

In addition to working with amazing colleagues who exemplify our ‘team over self’ core value, you will also have the opportunity to grow and evolve a fast-moving Security Engineer and Security Operations function while making a real difference in reducing risk and enabling our employees to move faster.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of overall experience in Security Engineering or Operations.
• Technical Mastery: Professional working knowledge of our stack (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, Postgres) sufficient to architect solutions and conduct deep-dive architecture risk reviews.
• Process Excellence: Experience building or maturing a vulnerability management program across source code, open source dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure.
• AI Adoption & Innovation: An innovative mindset dedicated to driving AI-centric improvements across the security stack.
• Data-Driven Leadership: Ability to analyze security metrics (MTTR, vulnerability burn-down rates, etc.) to drive continuous improvement.
• Low-Friction Leadership: Proven ability to manage upward effectively, providing proactive updates and results.
• Detection Engineering: Experience identifying Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and turning them into actionable alerting for the Ops team.
• SaaS & Compliance: Deep familiarity with SaaS environments and evidencing controls for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
• Communication: Strong ability to communicate technical risk to non-technical stakeholders and influence cross-functional outcomes.
• Project Management: Ability to design and execute on projects via trackable work product and consistent methodology.
• Certifications: CISSP, AWS Security Specialty, or GCIH/GCIA are highly preferred.
• Threat Modeling: Ability to mentor and lead the engineering team in conducting threat modeling and risk reviews of constantly evolving technical infrastructure.

Benefits

• Competitive wages and salaries.
• Performance bonus, benefits, and/or other applicable incentive compensation plans.
