Senior Manager, Enterprise Security

Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA

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.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Team Leadership & Development

Hire, coach, mentor, and grow a team of enterprise security, vulnerability management, and Linux security engineers.

Set clear goals, provide regular feedback, and support career development and growth planning for direct reports.

Foster a collaborative, high-ownership team culture that thrives under fast-paced, high-stakes conditions.

Manage on-call rotations and ensure the team is prepared to respond effectively during active security incidents.

 

Strategy & Program Ownership

Define and drive the enterprise security roadmap across workstations, servers, cloud environments, and the Linux fleet.

Own the maturity and effectiveness of the vulnerability management program, including SLA adherence and risk-based prioritization.

Set direction for Operational technology (OT) security, enterprise identity, access management, and configuration management strategy, including Linux-specific identity and hardening initiatives.

Proactively identify gaps across the security program and prioritize resourcing to close them.

 

Cross-Functional Partnership

Partner with IT, DevOps, engineering, and manufacturing/OT stakeholders to embed security into the system development lifecycle and infrastructure-as-code workflows.

Represent the Enterprise Security team in change management and change review board processes, ensuring risks are identified and communicated.

Serve as an escalation point for cross-functional security questions and incidents.

Communicate security posture, metrics, and risk to technical and executive audiences.

 

Technical Oversight

Provide technical guidance and review for major initiatives such as centralized identity architecture, security hardening baselines (CIS/STIG), SIEM/detection strategy, and cloud security posture management.

Stay current with the evolving threat landscape and emerging security tooling to inform team priorities.

Support compliance efforts (e.g. CMMC, NIST) by ensuring the team produces necessary evidence and documentation.


REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years of experience directly managing security engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development.
  • 7+ years of total experience in information security or a related technical field, including significant time as a hands-on individual contributor.
  • Demonstrated experience building or maturing one or more of the following: enterprise security programs, vulnerability management programs, Operational technology (OT) security, or Linux/enterprise identity security.
  • Strong technical understanding of enterprise and cloud technologies (on-prem and SaaS), common vulnerabilities and attack vectors, and security tooling such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanners, MDM, and endpoint protection.
  • Working knowledge of at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, Go, Bash, Rust).
  • Proven ability to translate business priorities into technical security strategy and communicate that strategy across all levels of an organization.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Experience leading teams through active security incidents and on-call operations.
  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, or equivalents are a plus.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience managing teams in a startup, Series C through E, or similarly high-growth environment.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
