We’ve surpassed $400M in ARR and we’re continuing to accelerate, earning a spot on the Forbes Cloud 100 for four years in a row and teaming up with iconic partners like Oracle Red Bull Racing.\nAbout 1Password\nAt 1Password, we’re building the foundation for a safe, productive digital future. Our mission is to unleash employee productivity without compromising security by ensuring every identity is authentic, every application sign-in is secure, and every device is trusted. We innovated the market-leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Unified Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human-centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to the world’s most innovative AI companies, trust 1Password to help their teams securely adopt the SaaS and AI tools they need to do their best work.\nIf you're excited about the opportunity to contribute to the digital safety of millions, to work alongside a team of curious, driven individuals, and to solve hard problems in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you. Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.\nAs our Manager, Security Incident Response, you are at the center of how 1Password handles the moments that matter most. You will build and lead a team of builders: responders who don't just work incidents, but engineer the automation, tooling, and systems that make response faster and more scalable over time. You will guide program maturity, scale the team's capabilities through AI-assisted tooling, reinforce operational excellence, and step in as incident manager during complex, high-severity events. Success in this role blends strong people leadership with technical depth and sound judgment. As part of the Security leadership team, you will shape response strategy, build effective cross-functional partnerships, and help protect a product trusted by millions.\nThis role reports to the Senior Manager, Threat Operations.\nHow we’re using AI today\nOur Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the full software and product development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. In practice, that looks like engineers using AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesizing user research at scale, and designers rapidly prototyping and iterating with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI the same way we approach security: with clear principles, human accountability at every consequential decision point, and rigorous evaluation before anything ships to customers.\nThis is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.\nWhat we're looking for:\n5+ years in security incident response, with 2+ years as a people manager or technical leader supporting career development and performance management.\nExperience building or scaling incident response automation, tooling, or AI-assisted workflows (triage, enrichment, investigation), with sound judgment about where automation should and shouldn’t make decisions.\nExperience setting clear expectations, defining ownership, delegating work, and measuring outcomes.\nExperience managing high-pressure security incidents with clarity, structure, and calm.\nStrong understanding of cloud-native, SaaS, and identity-driven attack techniques and how to respond to them.\nStrong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.\nExperience breaking down strategic initiatives into projects, coordinating team sprints, and managing work across competing priorities.\nPassion for fostering psychological safety and stability in stressful environments.\nWho you are:\nA people-first leader who prioritizes team development, psychological safety, and performance.\nA builder at heart, someone who thinks in systems and automation, not just case queues, and hires and develops engineers with that same instinct.\nProactive in identifying gaps, inefficiencies, or operational risks and bringing forward actionable solutions, including where AI or automation can close them.\nEffective at driving alignment across teams with differing priorities and perspectives.\nCalm and decisive during high-pressure situations, with the judgment to prioritize effectively and make difficult tradeoffs.\nA clear and transparent communicator who can align teams with differing priorities, surface tradeoffs, and advocate for sound security decisions.\nMotivated by protecting people, data, and the business.\nWhat you can expect:\nBuild, lead, and develop a team of incident responders and security builders, setting clear expectations, creating meaningful ownership, and supporting growth.\nDelegate effectively based on team strengths, development goals, capacity, and operational needs while maintaining accountability for outcomes.\nDefine and drive the security incident response roadmap and strategic priorities, including maturing agentic incident response, structured threat hunting, and insider risk investigations as sustained, scaled capabilities rather than one-time builds.\nBalance competing priorities across incident response, strategic initiatives, and team development; make tradeoffs clear and push back when timelines, approaches, or requests create unnecessary risk or unsustainable workload.\nScale team capacity through AI-assisted tooling and automation, maintaining appropriate controls around human judgment, approval, auditability, and rollback.\nOversee detection, triage, containment, remediation, and post-incident learning, serving as an escalation point and incident manager for complex or high-severity events.\nPartner with Detection Engineering, Cyber Threat Intelligence, Red Team and other teams to improve cross-functional processes and close detection or response gaps identified through investigations.\nEvolve playbooks, training, tabletop exercises, metrics, and reporting to strengthen operational readiness and program maturity.\nParticipate in the on-call rotation, serving as the leadership escalation or incident manager during major or complex incidents.\nTrack and report on incident trends, operational metrics, and program maturity, including the impact of automation and AI tooling on response time and coverage.\nUSA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $192,000 USD and $278,000 USD, plus immediate participation in 1Password's benefits program (health, dental, 401k and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.\nCanada-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $171,000 CAD and $248,000 CAD, plus immediate participation in 1Password’s generous benefits program (health, dental, RRSP and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.\nAt 1Password, we approach each individual's compensation with a promise of fair market value and internal equity commensurate with experience and specific skill set.\nThis posting is for an existing vacancy.\nOur culture\nAt 1Password, we prioritize collaboration, clear and transparent communication, receptiveness to feedback, and alignment with our core values: keep it simple, lead with honesty, and put people first. \nYou’ll be part of a team that challenges the status quo, and is excited to experiment and iterate in search of the best solution. That said, 1Password is not for everyone. Our work is demanding, we strive for excellence, and the pace is fast. We need people who are keen to take on challenging problems, who seek feedback to grow, and who are driven to make an impact. If you're looking for a place where you can settle into a comfortable routine, this might not be the right fit for you. We’re looking for individuals who are proven experts in their fields, as well as those who are highly adaptable, can thrive in ambiguity and through change, are curious, and above all deliver results.\nHow we work with AI\nWe are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology-including AI-to achieve our mission. We also understand that thinking critically about AI in its current forms will help us create better solutions for our customers and ourselves with its future forms, which will help us continue to close the gap between security and privacy and achieve our mission. We want team members at all levels to take the approach of actively learning AI best practices, identifying opportunities to apply AI in meaningful ways, and driving innovative solutions in their daily work. Embracing the future of AI isn't just encouraged-it's an essential part of how we will be successful at 1Password.\nThis approach extends to our hiring process-candidates are welcome to use AI tools responsibly and thoughtfully during the application process. To us, this means we do ask that you join live interviews without using AI tools so we can get to know how you communicate, solve problems, and collaborate with others.\nOur approach to remote work\nWe believe in the power of remote work, but recognize that in-person connection is important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote-first company, travel for in-person engagement is a part of almost all roles, and we require our employees to be ready and willing to take part. Frequency will depend on role and responsibilities, and may include, but is not limited to: annual department-wide offsites, team meetings, and customer/industry events.\nWhat we offer\nWe believe in working hard, and rewarding that hard work through our benefits.
