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.
