Senior Manager, AI Runtime Security

Key Responsibilities Build and lead a team of engineers and analysts focused on AI runtime protection and operational AI security controls. Define and execute strategy for AI runtime security, including guardrails, behavioral attestation, and rogue agent detection. Operationalize AI runtime controls across AI gateways, APIs, and production environments. Partner with IT, platform engineering, and cybersecurity teams to integrate detection, response, containment, and kill‑switch capabilities. Build scalable security operations processes to enforce AI runtime protections in real time across deployed AI systems. Drive integration of runtime telemetry into enterprise monitoring and incident response workflows. Establish security standards and best practices for securing AI‑enabled applications and agentic systems. Collaborate across architecture, cloud, and engineering teams to embed AI security controls into enterprise platforms. Required Qualifications 10+ years of experience securing endpoints, cloud platforms and SaaS environments. Deep experience with AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security architectures. Experience leading security engineering or cyber operations teams in enterprise environments. Strong understanding of AI systems, AI runtime controls, and modern AI security risks. Familiarity with AI guardrails, AI gateways, behavioral monitoring, and runtime enforcement technologies. Experience integrating security controls into production platforms and operational workflows. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence cross‑functional teams. Preferred Qualifications Certifications such as: CCSP, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, Google Associate Cloud Engineer. Experience securing AI/ML platforms, autonomous agents, or generative AI systems. Familiarity with real‑time detection and response capabilities for AI‑enabled environments. What Success Looks Like AI runtime protections are consistently enforced across enterprise AI deployments. Security controls scale effectively alongside rapidly growing AI and agentic use cases. Detection and response capabilities reduce operational and business risk from unsafe or rogue AI behaviors. Cross‑functional teams adopt secure‑by‑design AI runtime patterns and operational standards. Special Factors Sponsorship: Vanguard is not offering visa sponsorship for this position. #J-18808-Ljbffr
