Your New Role and Team
Sanctuary, a world leader in building AI-based control systems for humanoid robots, is hiring a Senior Manager, IT to lead our Enterprise IT function.
In this pivotal role, you will oversee a wide range of infrastructure, systems, and security initiatives in support of a highly technical organization. From enabling our machine learning teams to maintaining robust hybrid environments to maturing our cybersecurity posture, your leadership will help shape the technical backbone of the company.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a background in systems administration, infrastructure engineering, cybersecurity, or IT operations who has grown into a people and project leadership role. You’ll manage a team of IT professionals and play a key role in organizing, deploying, and aligning them toward high-priority goals - ensuring efficient and timely execution of complex, cross-functional projects.

Success Criteria
  • Partner with executive stakeholders to define priorities and translate them into actionable IT initiatives, ensuring alignment with company goals across infrastructure, systems, and cybersecurity.
  • Serve as the operational driver for the IT team: organize the backlog, assign work, clarify timelines, and guide projects to completion. Ensure clear project scoping, documentation, and accountability.
  • Ensure our systems and infrastructure meet the high availability, performance, and flexibility needs of machine learning, software engineering, and robotics development teams.
  • Lead the evolution of our cybersecurity capabilities by developing and executing a practical roadmap that aligns with risk, compliance, and business needs.
  • Mentor and grow a team of technical professionals. Build capacity through hiring, coaching, and fostering a collaborative and outcome-focused culture.

  • Your Experience
    Qualifications
  • 10+ years of overall experience in IT infrastructure, systems administration, cybersecurity, or related technical domains - ideally within complex, hybrid environments that support R&D, engineering, or data-intensive work.
  • 5+ years of people and project management experience, including leading technical teams, overseeing project delivery, and driving organizational improvements through technology.
  • Proven track record of delivering high-impact IT initiatives from concept to execution in fast-paced or early-stage organizations.
  • Comfortable working in environments with a mix of operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and managing both cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
  • Experienced in engaging with executive leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to align IT outcomes with business priorities.
  • Professional certifications (e.g., ITIL, CISSP, PMP, SAFe) are a plus.
  • Skills
  • Experience leading complex IT projects and navigating competing priorities.
  • Background in mentoring technical teams and supporting team effectiveness.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure supporting ML workloads - GPUs, high-speed storage, orchestration layers.
  • Hands-on experience with Windows, macOS, and Linux system environments.
  • Proficiency with enterprise tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Atlassian.
  • Understanding of core security practices including IAM, endpoint protection, and vulnerability management.
  • Comfort working across cloud and on-prem infrastructure with consistent standards.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts and risks to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Traits
  • Above all else, a consistently positive attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes to create robust solutions to complex problems.
  • Promotes a culture of documentation and accountability.
  • Fosters a culture of execution and agility under constraints.
  • Passionate and skilled at leading a team and developing staff to fulfill their potential.
  • Embodies and promotes a culture of decisiveness, accountability, and action.
  • Embodies a customer-focussed, service-minded approach in all activities.
  • Advocate of personal responsibility and team accountability.
  • Decisive and proactive with excellent time-management and prioritization skills.
