Senior Manager, IT Systems / Platform Engineering at Oura — Remote

We are looking for:

A Senior Manager, IT Systems / Platform Engineering to own the infrastructure, identity, and engineering programs that keep Oura's global workforce running at scale.

You will lead a technically excellent team responsible for enterprise identity (Okta, Lumos, Delinea), network infrastructure, endpoint engineering, remote access modernization, and Oura's Joiner/Mover/Leaver transformation — serving as the management layer above a senior engineering team, setting the tempo, owning delivery outcomes, and translating technical complexity into clear business direction for cross-functional leadership.

The right person brings real technical credibility that their team and vendors will recognize immediately. You contribute hands-on where your depth adds the most leverage — architecture reviews, identity design decisions, vendor technical validation — while spending the majority of your time on people, programs, and strategic leadership.

What you will do: 

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of senior IT platform engineers — actively growing them toward informal domain ownership across Identity, Endpoint, and Security Engineering; own the full people management lifecycle: hiring, onboarding, performance, career development, and succession
• Own delivery accountability across IT's major programs — identity maturation, PAM deployment, network-as-a-service delivery, and remote access modernization — not executing every task, but accountable for every outcome; partner with the Staff Engineer to sequence the technical roadmap and protect strategic programs from BAU erosion
• Own delivery relationships with key technology vendors and implementation partners — milestone accountability, performance governance, and risk escalation without requiring executive involvement
• Lead programs across Security, GRC, Legal, People, and Finance as a true business partner; translate complex technical risk into clear, actionable business language for executive stakeholders; influence without authority across functions
• Own the maturation of Oura's enterprise identity program end-to-end — PAM deployment, IGA governance, and Joiner/Mover/Leaver automation are organizational priorities; ensure delivery meets compliance and audit-readiness requirements in partnership with Security and Compliance
• Apply your technical depth where it has the highest leverage — architecture reviews, identity design decisions, vendor technical validation, and engineering escalations; remain a credible peer to your senior engineers and delivery partners

This is a remote US-East role with strong preference in NY, NJ, CT, PA or MA.   

Requirements 

• 8+ years in enterprise IT with at least 3+ years managing technical teams at or above Senior Manager level in a high-growth, fast-paced technology company
• Deeply technical career foundation — you've personally built and operated identity platforms, managed Okta/Entra or equivalent environments, deployed MDM/UEM, and run network infrastructure before stepping into management; that hands-on experience shapes how you lead today
• Hands-on Okta or modern enterprise IAM proficiency — proven across at least one full IAM/IGA program delivery; JML automation, IGA governance, PAM vaulting, SCIM provisioning, and compliance controls are part of your working vocabulary
• Multi-cloud fluency across platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP) — you've operated in a multi-cloud environment and make informed infrastructure and architecture decisions with confidence
• Proven track record building and scaling technical teams — developed engineers into domain leads, structured teams for growth, and retained strong talent in a competitive market across 2+ organizations
• Vendor and partner management experience — owned commercial relationships, held partners to milestones, and managed escalation paths without requiring executive involvement
• Cross-functional influence — equally effective driving alignment with Legal, Finance, and People as in a technical architecture review; influences without authority across 3+ organizational functions
• Exceptional communicator — written, verbal, and executive-ready; AI-first mindset and employee experience focus reflected in how you lead, build, and make decisions
• Proficient in agile methodologies; Jira and Confluence are everyday tools, not afterthoughts
• This role is part of a rotating on-call schedule for critical IT infrastructure incidents; comfort with occasional after-hours response is required
