Job summary

3E is seeking a Manager, Security and Trust Engineering to establish a company-wide Trust Engineering capability. You will lead and develop a security/trust team while guiding a broader virtual function across 3E.

Qualifications

• Lead a team of infosec analysts and engineers across a technology function.
• At least six (6) years of experience in security engineering, infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, AI engineering, cloud engineering, or a closely related technical role.
• Strong understanding of vulnerability management, identity/security tooling, security operations, and how security work moves through technical teams.
• Hands-on familiarity with Okta, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft E5, Defender, MDM, SIEM/SOC tooling, ReliaQuest GreyMatter, Secureframe, or similar systems.
• Experience delivering system-level outcomes, not just completing isolated security tasks or supporting one-off audits.
• Experience working directly with Engineering, DevSecOps, Platform, Infrastructure, Security, Compliance, or AI teams to drive outcomes through people who do not report to you.
• Experience integrating security or trust controls into engineering platforms, delivery workflows, CI/CD, identity systems, endpoint environments, or operational tooling.
• Ability to create ownership models, operating cadence, metrics, and follow-through across multiple teams.
• AI fluency beyond personal productivity use. You should be able to discuss AI-enabled workflows, agents, automation, governance, and human oversight.
• Ability to explain complex technical risk in business terms without relying on jargon.
• Practical leadership style: systems over heroics, automation over toil, clarity over chaos.
• Based in the US in one of the states where 3E is authorized to hire, and eligible to work without sponsorship.

Responsibilities

• Lead the InfoSec team to operationalize AI governance, security assurance, identity controls, vulnerability remediation, and customer trust practices.
• Drive security and trust work through cross-functional teams that do not directly report to you by aligning priorities, creating clarity, and making trust work easier to execute.
• Turn manual security and trust work into durable systems, automation, metrics, and reusable operating models.
• Partner with technical teams to embed security and trust controls into engineering platforms, CI/CD, delivery workflows, identity systems, endpoint tooling, and AI-enabled workflows
• Build or guide AI-enabled workflows, agents, automations, or systems that reduce manual work and improve security operations
• Support continuous assurance for SOC 2 and ISO 42001, with emphasis on automation, evidence collection, and operating discipline, not just audit participation
• Help transform the engineering mindset from a task-based execution to platform and systems thinking
• Communicate risk in plain business language to technical and executive stakeholders
• Establish operating cadence, ownership models, decision rights, metrics, and leading indicators for trust outcomes for 3E's customers
