About The Position

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. 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.

Experience building or maturing a vulnerability management program across source code, open source dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure.
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
Ability to analyze security metrics (MTTR, vulnerability burn-down rates, etc) to drive continuous improvement.
Proven ability to manage upward effectively, providing proactive updates and results rather than requiring constant management oversight.
