Security Manager, Enterprise

About the role

BUILD A SAFER WORLD.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.

TRM’s Security team secures everything we build and run, and the Enterprise Security team owns identities, endpoints, and core SaaS. As the Enterprise Security Engineering Manager, you will lead the engineers who harden our environment against NIST and CIS benchmarks, and you will make AI-driven automation the way the team works. We are distributed, not distant: a US-based team across Pacific and Eastern time zones that works asynchronously and ships fast.

The impact you will have

• Build agentic workflows and set the Enterprise Security roadmap, using AI-driven analysis to prioritize work by risk against NIST and CIS benchmarks
• Lead and grow a team of security engineers, coaching them to build with Claude Code and agentic workflows every day
• Drive automation of endpoint baselines (Jamf, Intune, Defender) and identity controls (Entra ID, Google Workspace) with n8n, SlackOps, and Terraform controls-as-code
• Expand TRM’s Security Agent and MCP integrations so routine security tasks are handled by AI with human oversight, and set review standards for AI-generated changes
• Use AI-assisted reporting to give leadership and GRC clear, evidence-backed views of posture, drift, and audit readiness
• Run the team’s on-call program and use automation to reduce its load over time
• Hire, develop, and retain engineers, with AI fluency as a core part of how the team grows
• Partner with IT Operations, GRC, and Engineering to align priorities and remove cross-team blockers

What we’re looking for

• Ability to drive cross-functional engineering projects
• Daily, hands-on fluency with AI tools such as Claude Code, and the ability to coach a team to use them with sound judgment
• A proven record of managing security or IT engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career growth
• An automation-first mindset, with enough hands-on depth in scripting and controls-as-code to review the team’s work
• Deep experience with cloud identity providers (Entra ID or Google Workspace) and MDM (Jamf or Intune) on macOS and Windows
• A risk-based approach, with the ability to lead cross-layer troubleshooting across endpoint, network, and identity
• Strong plus: Terraform or other infrastructure as code, incident response or SOC experience, and AI governance exposure

Team Operating Rhythms

• Work is planned against quarterly OKRs, with about 80% of team capacity protected for project work
• Security and IT Operations share a rotating on-call, and the manager owns reducing its load through automation
• Work is documented and shared asynchronously in Slack and Notion, with AI-assisted summaries and runbooks
• Regular 1:1s, team syncs, and reviews of AI-generated changes keep quality high

Required online and collaboration hours

• Schedule: US-based, with overlap across Pacific and Eastern time zones; no fixed core hours

On-Call Responsibilities

• Schedule: Shared Security and IT Operations rotation; weekends only if paged. Manager participation is Unknown - HM to confirm at intake
• Frequency: Once every 6-8 weeks

Travel Requirements

• Schedule: Once or twice a quarter
• Frequency: 20%

Onsite Requirements

• Schedule: None; distributed team
• Frequency: Not applicable

Learn about TRM Speed in this position

• Protect about 80% of the team’s capacity for project and OKR work while handling the legacy operational workload
• Rework a manual process into an automated, AI-assisted workflow while the team still supports the existing one
• Deliver a team-wide epic from start to completion within 6 months

AI Fluency at Trm

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.

We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.

At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:

• Accelerate repeatable workflows
• Structure and solve problems
• Improve output quality
• Increase speed and leverage

You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.

At TRM, you should expect

• Priorities and targets to change quickly
• Operating with a high degree of ambiguity
• A high level of personal ownership and accountability
• Close collaboration across teams and functions
• Frequent, high-touch communication
• Creative problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking
• A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes

This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires thriving in ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure-test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.

If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

Leadership Principles

We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.

• Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment - test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
• Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end-to-end, and invest in getting better everyday.
• Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one-team mindset - giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
