Manager, Corporate Systems

The Basics

The Manager, Corporate Systems reports to the Senior Director, Business Systems and is the strategic and tactical owner of Tanium’s corporate application portfolio — accountable for the roadmap, governance, and delivery across HRIS, ERP, Expense and Travel, Procurement, and the integrations that connect them. The Manager leads a team of engineers and business analysts and serves as the primary technology partner to Finance, HR, IT and Procurement, as well as to Sales and the broader go-to-market organization.

Two things make this role stand out. The Manager will lead a critical go-to-market transformation to support usage-based consumption and billing for Tanium’s Atlas AI capability — and will operate in a SOX-compliant environment where disciplined release and change management is as important as delivery speed. This is a leadership role for a technically grounded manager who can balance hands-on portfolio ownership with developing a high-performing team, and who will champion a long-term vision for these technologies and processes with an eye toward superior employee experience, operating efficiency, and the security of Tanium assets and data. The role requires hands-on skills for one or more of the in-scope applications to assist and guide the engineers when needed.

This position follows the Company’s hybrid schedule which currently requires employees to work in the office at one of the following locations a minimum of three days per week: Addison, TX; Bellevue, WA; Durham, NC; Emeryville, CA; or Reston, VA.

• Develop a vision and roadmap for Corporate Systems technologies and supporting processes used within Tanium – and make it happen

• Lead and develop a team of engineers and business analysts supporting Finance, HR, IT and Procurement; define team goals, career development paths, and performance expectations, and conduct regular 1:1s and reviews
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across the company, aligning and prioritizing a multitude of business needs within a consolidated strategy
• Prioritize work across the entire portfolio via Jira and Agile Kanban, balancing stakeholder demand with platform health, technical debt, and upgrade cycles; lead project retrospectives to continuously improve how the team delivers
• Manage the day-to-day support of all in scope applications, ensuring that SLAs are met and end user issues are addressed in a timely manner
• Coordinate business requirements, end-to-end system workflows, cross-system integration requirements, and technical delivery across Sales, Finance, HR, and IT
• Deliver new technology platforms against non-negotiable go-live dates, and lead post-go-live hyper-care to expand an MVP to full business capability, ensuring adoption and stakeholder satisfaction
• Serve as the escalation point for application incidents, stakeholder concerns, and cross-functional delivery decisions; report on portfolio health, delivery progress, and project outcomes to the Senior Director, Business Systems and technology leadership
• Consult on the implications and designs for new systems, integrations, and changes to existing technologies
• Define, mature, and enforce governance processes and technology controls; monitor, measure, and report on the health and effectiveness of corporate systems and processes
• Chair steering committees for key applications and the integration platform, and maintain relationships with executive leadership to enhance strategy alignment and awareness of new and existing capabilities
