Chainguard, a venture-backed software supply chain security company serving Fortune 500 enterprises, is hiring a Senior Manager of Corporate Technology to own IT infrastructure and productivity systems for 200+ employees. The role is a player-coach position managing a small IT team while staying hands-on—you'll oversee help desk operations, manage the productivity stack (Google Workspace, Slack, SaaS tools), develop a 90-day IT strategy, and drive SaaS rationalization and automation initiatives to hit 60%+ ticket deflection. Required experience includes running an IT or corporate technology function at a high-growth startup, deep Google Workspace and Slack expertise, security mindset, proven SaaS stack rationalization, and a service-delivery orientation (thinking in SLOs, not tickets). The role offers competitive compensation ($172k–$195k base), full health insurance coverage, 10-year option exercise windows, flexible remote work with team summits, and 18 weeks paid parental leave for birthing parents. A standout detail: this is explicitly a lean operation where the leader must be equally comfortable in strategic planning and hands-on troubleshooting, with "irrational frustration with mediocre work" listed as a key requirement.

A notable stand-out: the company offers a truly unusual 10-year option exercise window (rather than the standard 10-year post-departure), plus flexible time off and bi-annual destination summits.
