Job summary

Vanta is seeking a Senior Manager, Systems Engineering to lead a team of engineers responsible for the company’s most critical internal systems. You will own end-to-end automation in access management, device assurance, and ITSM rationalization, driving governance and self-service capabilities across Security, GRC, and Finance.

You will collaborate with AI, Data, and Procurement teams to strengthen platform ownership, visibility, and actionable capacity planning, ensuring scalable infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and grow a team of systems engineers and a tech lead. Set clear expectations, hold a high bar, and develop the people who build Vanta’s most critical internal systems.
• Own joiner, mover, and leaver automation end to end in Okta Workflows, so access is correct on day one, follows people through role changes, and closes completely on departure, including API keys and service credentials.
• Build and own device assurance across macOS and Windows, defining OS, browser, and device-state policy ahead of enforcement rather than in response to it.
• Rationalize the ITSM estate so self-service works, engineers spend their time on platform work instead of tool administration, and partner teams have a system they trust.
• Make Corporate Engineering a governed step in SaaS procurement, with SSO enforced, access reviewed, and no tools discovered months after they went live.
• Own the identity, access, and connector infrastructure behind Vanta’s company-wide AI stack, including MCP servers and the Vercel platform, in close partnership with our AI and Data teams.
• Build the visibility layer that shows how work enters the team and where capacity goes, so priorities are set with data and tradeoffs are legible to partners.
• Partner with Security, GRC, Finance, and Engineering to enable rather than gate, building guardrails that make self-service safe instead of controls that slow the company down.
