Senior Manager, It Platform Engineering - Fixed Term

Oura Oura · Consumer · New York, NY +1 · IT

Senior Manager, IT Platform Engineering role focused on owning and scaling enterprise IT infrastructure, identity management (Okta, Lumos, Delinea), network infrastructure, and endpoint engineering for a global workforce. The role involves leading a technical team, managing delivery outcomes for major programs, and acting as a business partner across various functions. Requires deep technical credibility in identity platforms and multi-cloud environments.

What you'd actually do

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Own delivery relationships with key technology vendors and implementation partners — milestone accountability, performance governance, and risk escalation without requiring executive involvement
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
