Infinite Campus•Minneapolis, MN

17h•$185,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Manager, Security Operations will lead the SecOps function by overseeing application security, security monitoring tools, compliance initiatives, and incident response activities across the organization. This role manages a small cross-functional security team (SecOps engineers, AppSec engineers, and a compliance analyst), sets and communicates the security roadmap, and partners closely with infrastructure, development, CX leadership, and corporate IT to strengthen the company’s overall security posture. The manager will drive major initiatives such as continuous application security scanning and remediation, SOC 2 and regulatory audit support, and the ongoing FedRAMP/GovRAMP efforts, while also serving as a liaison during security incidents—potentially acting as Incident Commander. In addition, the role owns elements of the security budget, supports tool strategy (e.g., monitoring and vulnerability platforms), and promotes a strong security-aware culture across the SaaS organization. This position is best suited for a technically strong security leader who combines hands-on security operations experience with people-management capability and cross-organizational influence. The ideal candidate is someone comfortable operating in a fast-moving SaaS environment, able to guide engineers while collaborating with executive stakeholders and external auditors, and capable of balancing strategic planning with tactical execution. They should be confident leading compliance-driven initiatives such as SOC 2 and FedRAMP, coordinating responses to active security events, and maintaining credibility with both technical teams and business leadership. A proactive communicator who can operate independently, prioritize effectively under pressure, and sustain long-term security programs will be especially successful in this role.
