Full Job Description
Job Title: Manager, Security Engineering and Operations

Location: US, Remote

THE OPPORTUNITY:

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 work load 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 our employees to move faster. You will have an opportunity to make a difference.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We are seeking a player-coach with a bias-towards-action. You should be a seasoned practitioner who has built security tools in AWS/GCP and led high-pressure incident responses. Most importantly, we need a leader with radical ownership-someone who can navigate ambiguity and execute a long-term roadmap without step-by-step oversight.

If you are a bias-towards-action leader who wants to own a function end-to-end, this is the career path for you!

If you're looking for an opportunity to learn more, do more, and become more, then becoming a Manager, Security Operations and Engineering is the career path for you!

THE TEAM:

Our Clari + Salesloft Information Security team is comprised of seasoned and up-and-coming security professionals.

THE SKILL SET:
  • 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. You should be passionate about leveraging AI to automate repetitive tasks, enhance predictive detection, and ensure our security architecture evolves alongside AI-driven advancements in the industry
  • 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 rather than requiring constant management oversight.
  • 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.

It is Clari + Salesloft's intent to pay all Lofters competitive wages and salaries that are motivational, fair and equitable. The goal of Clari + Salesloft's compensation program is to be transparent, attract potential employees, meet the needs of all current employees and encourage employees to stay with our organization.

Actual compensation packages are based on several factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, depth of experience, certifications, and specific work location.

The total compensation package for this position may also include performance bonus, benefits and/or other applicable incentive compensation plans.
