Senior Manager, Enterprise Security

About this role

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

• Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

• What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

• It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION

As the Senior Manager of Enterprise Security, you will lead the team responsible for securing the foundations that allow True Anomaly to fulfill its missions. In this position, you will build, mentor, and lead a team of security engineers spanning enterprise security, vulnerability management, and Linux security, ensuring we are building security directly into the foundations of our company while aligning with compliance requirements. You will regularly be faced with answering the question "How can we enable the business to operate with as little risk as necessary?" and empowering your team to answer it too.

As the leader of True Anomaly's Enterprise Security team, you will set strategy and priorities across a broad portfolio: enterprise identity, endpoint and server hardening, cloud security, vulnerability management, and Linux fleet security. You will translate business needs into a coherent security roadmap, remove blockers for your engineers, and represent the team to senior leadership. You will be joining a fast-paced, challenging environment where your leadership will have direct, lasting impact on our overall security posture.

This is an ideal role for a leader who has grown as both a hands-on technical contributor and a people manager, who is energized by developing engineers, and who wants to build a high-performing security function from the ground up.

This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
