Vice President, IT and Security

We're looking for an experienced leader of IT and Security teams to join our team as Vice President of IT and Security. This is a hands-on, agile role that requires both attention to detail and the ability to think broadly across a range of technical domains. Success in this role will depend on building strong, authentic relationships with leaders across the business to deliver practical, solutions-oriented guidance. This role is ideal for a proven leader who is eager to grow within a fast-paced B2B SaaS company and gain hands-on experience across multiple domains under the guidance of our SVP of Operations & General Counsel. If you're excited to blend security and IT expertise with business impact, we'd love to connect.

Team Leadership and Org Building

Seven direct reports across five disciplines. Building the team is the job, not the overhead.

  • Lead and coach a high-performing Security & IT organization by developing strong technical talent and building succession depth across critical roles and capabilities.
  • Shape the IT and Security organization for current execution and near-term scale, coordinating efforts between CorpSec, ProdSec, GRC, and IT.
  • Own the IT and Security budget, and connect headcount and tooling spend to the risk each actually reduces.
  • Build a culture of clarity and ownership across two teams
  • Set the standards, SLAs, and runbooks that let both teams execute consistently
  • Represent both functions in leadership discussions, and translate operational risk into terms the executive team can act on.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, DevOps, People Ops, and Finance on shared programs: onboarding and offboarding, SaaS rollouts, migrations, and compliance.
  • Partner with Sales to support security reviews by Automox's most sophisticated customers.
Detection and Incident Response

You own how Automox sees threats and how Automox responds to them. This experience must be hands-on and recent.

  • Own incident response end to end: detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and the post-incident review that changes what happens next time.
  • Build and tune detections against real adversary behavior rather than vendor defaults, and measure them by what they catch and what they miss.
  • Run the on-call rotation, escalation paths, and severity model, and keep the runbooks current enough that someone else can execute them at 2 a.m.
  • Report honestly on posture, including what you cannot yet see.
Product Security
  • Own the ProdSec program and partner with Engineering and Product to embed security into the development lifecycle.
  • Run vulnerability management across the product, including triage, ownership, and time-to-fix accountability.
  • Build the relationships that get security work into sprints without escalation, and know when escalation is the right answer anyway.
  • Surface product risk early, with recommendations attached.
IT Operations
  • Set and execute the strategy for endpoints, identity, and SaaS at scale, covering 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.
  • Own the company's core Artificial Intelligence, SaaS and cloud technology ecosystem, including collaboration, source control, and secrets management platforms, ensuring tools are secure, scalable, cost-effective, and appropriately utilized.
  • Track KPIs across ticket responsiveness, patch and MDM coverage, access reviews, and IT spend, and use them to drive improvement.
  • Serve as a senior Automox power user and a direct feedback channel to Product and Engineering.
Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Automox has an established SOC 2 program. You are inheriting it, not building it.

  • Keep SOC 2 running as continuous evidence collection and control operation rather than an annual scramble, and own the audit relationship.
  • Maintain the risk register and vendor review process, and keep both connected to what the security roadmap actually funds.
What You BringExperience
  • 8+ years managing people, including performance management, hiring, and developing engineers into stronger engineers.
  • 12+ years in security engineering or security operations, with hands-on detection engineering and incident response as a core part of that time. You have run real incidents, not just reviewed them.
  • Experience partnering with an engineering organization on product security, with results you can point to.
  • Direct IT operations responsibility, or a combined security and IT role.
  • A track record of turning strategy into execution with measurable outcomes.
  • Working knowledge of SOC 2 sufficient to keep an existing program healthy. You do not need to have built one.
Technical
  • Detection engineering across endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS telemetry, including SIEM or equivalent log pipeline design.
  • Practical knowledge of adversary tradecraft and how it shows up in your data.
  • Application and cloud security fundamentals strong enough to review a design and be useful in the review.
  • A modern identity provider, MDM for macOS and Windows, collaboration suite administration, source control administration, and cloud IAM.
  • Working Linux experience.
  • Working familiarity with PowerShell, bash, and Python, and sound judgment reviewing AI-generated automation for correctness and security.
  • Sound judgment on architectural and tooling trade-offs.
Leadership
  • Balances longer-horizon planning against daily operational demand across two functions.
  • Clear and credible in both technical and executive conversations, and action-oriented on risk.
  • Calm and decisive under incident pressure, and candid afterward about what went wrong.
  • A culture builder who is data-driven and energized by leaving things better than they were.
