Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Caribou is a financial technology company that helps customers reduce their auto loan expenses by connecting them with community banks and credit unions. The Manager, Corporate Technology (Security & IT) will own the company’s security and IT programs, lead a team of senior security and IT professionals, manage vendors and technology portfolios, and advance security, compliance, digital workplace, and AI enablement initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Caribou's security posture advances year over year - the program has a roadmap, diligence reviews go smoothly, and findings reflect it
- SOC 2 Type II delivers clean with no surprises - systematic evidence collection, not a heroics sprint at audit time
- Detection and response capabilities improve measurably - SIEM, CrowdStrike, Wiz, and DLP are operationally sound and the team can say why
- GRC policy and control documents reflect how Caribou actually operates, not how it operated two years ago
- Licensed tools earn their keep - Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, Asana, 1Password, and Adobe are actively used, not just provisioned
- An operational AI enablement program that drives measurable adoption of licensed AI capabilities and a growing backlog of automated workflows
- IT operations run without drama - the MSP delivers, support is responsive, and productivity loss from tech issues stays low
- Every direct report has a growth plan, gets regular coaching, and is taking on more complex work than when you arrived
- The vendor portfolio - security and IT - delivers expected value and you can demonstrate it
- You've delivered a SOC 2 Type II audit as the primary owner - the audit was yours to pass
- You've managed a detection and response function: SIEM tuning, EDR deployment, incident ownership
- You've built or maintained GRC policy and control documentation that held up under audit scrutiny
- You've worked in a regulated environment and understand how compliance obligations translate into operational controls
- You've managed security vendor relationships - EDR, CSPM, penetration testing firms - and can tell when a vendor isn't delivering
- You've run a SaaS portfolio for a growing company - licensing, governance, adoption, and the shadow IT problem
- You've led an enterprise-wide software rollout end-to-end: implementation, adoption, and proof that features are delivering value
- You’ve researched, planned, or executed a rollout of enterprise AI tools and have ideas of how to do it better
- You've run identity and access management end-to-end - not just the policy, but the provisioning workflow and the audit evidence
- You've managed an MSP relationship and held them accountable to a service standard
- You manage people through the full lifecycle - hiring, developing, delivering hard feedback, and making the call when someone isn't growing
- You translate technical risk into business language without losing the precision that makes you credible with your team
- You sequence work - you know what to do first when everything feels urgent, and your team knows it too
- You build programs collaboratively with the people executing them, not around them
- You treat security and IT as a service to the rest of the company, not a gate in front of it
Skills
- Maybe you came up through security - incident response, GRC, compliance programs - and over time took broader ownership of the tools and systems that make a company capable
- Or you came up through IT and digital workplace leadership, and earned your security credentials by stepping into the function when your company needed it
- On the security side, that means you've been the person who delivered a SOC 2 audit, not just the person in the room
- You've tuned a SIEM, led an incident, and written GRC controls that held up under scrutiny
- On the IT side, that means you've run a SaaS portfolio, built adoption programs that changed how people work, held real accountability for identity and access, and have the instinct to build an AI enablement program for employees who don't write code
- What matters is that you've done both meaningfully, not which one came first
- Candidates are welcome to work remotely from the states of AZ, CO, DC, IL, MD, TX, and VA with a preference for the Chicago IL, Denver CO, or Phoenix AZ areas
- Caribou does provide the option to work in-office or hybrid from our Denver, CO or Chandler, AZ offices
- We may consider remote candidates in CA, FL, MA, NY, OR, WA, and WI, subject to additional approval
- Eligibility by state is subject to change
