Senior Manager, Enterprise Security

About the role

The Senior Manager, Enterprise Security at Abridge will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution of enterprise security across the organization. This is a greenfield opportunity to architect the way forward for Enterprise Security at Abridge. You will thrive here if you are passionate about building 0 → 1 and believe that enterprise security should reduce risk while empowering employees to do their best work.

Responsibilities

• Own Enterprise Security Strategy: Define and drive the vision, roadmap, and execution of Abridge's enterprise security program—spanning identity, endpoint, SaaS, email, and corporate network security—ensuring capabilities scale with the organization

• Build and Lead the Team: Recruit, mentor, and develop a team of enterprise security engineers, setting the technical bar from day one and establishing engineering best practices that attract top talent

• Architect Identity and Access Management: Design, implement, and operate IAM and Zero Trust access controls, including SSO, MFA, authentication protocols, access lifecycle management, and identity governance across cloud and SaaS environments

• Secure the Endpoint Fleet: Own the strategy and tooling for endpoint detection and response (EDR), device management (MDM), and endpoint compliance, ensuring every device connecting to Abridge systems meets security standards

• Drive SaaS and Third-Party Security: Establish and operate programs for SaaS security posture management, shadow IT discovery, vendor security assessments, and third-party risk management to maintain control as the SaaS footprint grows

• Automate and Scale: Build production-grade automation for access reviews, onboarding/offboarding workflows, policy enforcement, and security operations—turning manual processes into reliable, code-driven systems

• Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with IT, People, Legal, and Compliance teams to translate regulatory and business requirements into durable, automated technical controls that don't slow down the organization

• Lead Enterprise AI Security: Define and execute Abridge's strategy for securing corporate AI adoption end-to-end—from establishing governance frameworks and sanctioned tool inventories, to implementing technical controls around data loss prevention, prompt injection risks, and third-party AI vendor assessments—ensuring employees can leverage AI safely and at speed

• Define Build vs. Buy: Evaluate and select enterprise security tooling, making pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions that maximize coverage while minimizing complexity

Requirements

Depth of Experience: 8+ years in enterprise security, identity security, corporate security, or adjacent security engineering domains, with at least 5+ years in a management capacity

Identity and Access Expertise: Strong hands-on depth in identity and access management, including SSO, OAuth/OIDC, SCIM, authentication protocols, access lifecycle management, and identity governance. You understand how to design and operate Zero Trust security architectures in modern enterprise environments

Endpoint Security Proficiency: Experience designing and operating endpoint security programs at scale, including EDR, MDM, device compliance, and fleet management across macOS, Windows, and Linux

Cloud and SaaS Fluency: Deep familiarity with securing cloud-native environments (GCP or AWS) and managing the security posture of a large, evolving SaaS estate. You understand the identity-centric nature of modern enterprise risk

Engineering Mindset: Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Go, or similar). You write clean, maintainable code and believe that manual processes are technical debt. Experience with infrastructure-as-code is a plus

Cross-Functional Leadership: Demonstrated ability to partner with IT, HR, Legal, and Compliance to deliver security outcomes through influence, not mandates. You build tools and processes people actually enjoy using

Communication and Executive Presence: Exceptional communicator who can translate complex security risks into clear business terms for audiences from engineers to executive leadership

Pragmatic Execution: You have a bias for action and a knack for navigating ambiguity. You understand how to weigh security risks against business velocity, choosing solutions that empower employees while maintaining a strong security posture
