Vice President, IT and Security

Are you ready to own something big? Automox is turning IT admins into IT heroes by replacing traditional tools with our award winning cloud-native endpoint management platform. Our product works autonomously and so do our teams. We value a ‘one team’ mentality where everyone’s unique skills contribute to an environment that encourages collaboration and ownership. At Automox you’re enabled to do your best work, grow your career, and have an impact that will be noticeable. WE ARE A_TOMOX… all that’s missing is U!   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.
