Quality Management System Professional

Quality Management System (QMS) Manager Engineering Operations

SailPoint is seeking a Quality Management System (QMS) Manager to join our Engineering Operations team. This is a customer-facing, highly visible role at the intersection of process governance, multi-framework compliance readiness, and continuous improvement. You will keep the QMS audit-ready, aligned to how teams actually deliver, and connected to engineering tooling that produces evidence. The goal is a living system embedded in real workflows, not documentation revived before each audit.

The Role

This is a highly visible, customer-facing role responsible for the successful execution and evolution of our SaaS quality management system. You will be: The central owner of QMS policies, procedures, and records, with clear versioning, ownership, and review cadence.

• The primary interface between Engineering, Product, Operations, and Compliance for audit readiness and trust communications.
• Embedded with Engineering leaders to align delivery workflows with control requirements and audit expectations.
• Accountable for strengthening the link between engineering tooling and audit posture, reducing manual evidence effort over time.
• SailPoint's named quality management representative for GxP-regulated and life-sciences customers who require an independent, auditable vendor quality function.

Day to Day

• Own QMS maintenance and governance by keeping policies, procedures, and records aligned to real delivery practices.
• Coordinate evidence collection and control mapping across annual certification and attestation cycles.
• Pull and validate evidence from systems of record including Jira, CI/CD, ticketing systems, and access logs.
• Run internal audit cadence and track findings through closure.
• Manage corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), including root-cause analysis for recurring issues.
• Train teams on process changes and audit expectations, and report quality posture to leadership and customer-facing stakeholders.
• Support EMEA life-sciences deals by producing vendor qualification artifacts and engaging directly on customer quality audits.

To be successful in this role you must:

• Bring strong process discipline balanced with pragmatism so systems improve without slowing teams down.
• Communicate clearly across technical and leadership audiences and represent quality posture in high-visibility customer discussions.
• Have hands-on fluency with engineering and observability tooling, including Jira, Confluence, CI/CD, and access systems.
• Be highly organized and able to coordinate outputs and timelines across multiple partner teams.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain and govern the QMS, including policy, procedure, and record ownership with defined review cadence.
• Drive readiness and audit coordination across SOC 2, ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701, CSA STAR Level 2, C5 Type 2, TISAX AL3, FedRAMP Moderate, IRAP, and GovRAMP.
• Lead the ISO 9001 certification program scoped to software development and release management, closing the GxP vendor qualification gap for life-sciences customers.
• Operate the evidence and control environment by validating evidence quality and improving traceability.
• Run internal audit and CAPA programs end-to-end, ensuring findings are addressed and recurrence is reduced.
• Drive continuous improvement by using metrics, nonconformance trends, and retrospectives to evolve the QMS.
• Partner with GRC, Security, and customer-facing teams to support external trust and assurance requests.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience maintaining a QMS in a software or SaaS environment.
• Hands-on evidence and audit coordination experience in one or more of SOC 2, ISO 27001 family standards, CSA STAR, C5, TISAX, FedRAMP, IRAP, or GovRAMP.
• Working fluency with engineering and observability tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, CI/CD, access systems).
• Strong process discipline balanced with pragmatism.
• Clear cross-functional communicator comfortable with engineering, leadership, and customer-facing audiences.

Desired Qualifications:

• Direct experience supporting multiple frameworks including ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701, CSA STAR Level 2, C5 Type 2, TISAX AL3, FedRAMP Moderate, IRAP, and GovRAMP.
• ISO 9001 certification program experience, ideally scoped to software development and release management in a SaaS environment.
• Exposure to GxP, GAMP 5, or life-sciences vendor qualification requirements.
• Exposure to evidence automation or GRC tooling.
• Background partnering with GRC or security functions.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted and agent-orchestrated workflows to accelerate planning, tracking, and communication across complex, multi-team programs, with sound judgment about when automation helps and when human oversight is required.
• Proven ability to design and maintain program tracking in Jira and Confluence that drives accountability and executive-ready visibility.

Roadmap for Success

By 30 days Discovery & Assessment:

• Conduct 1:1s with key stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Compliance, and EMEA commercial leadership to map the quality and GxP landscape.
• Establish SailPoint's named Quality Management Representative designation internal and customer-facing to address immediate vendor qualification requests from life-sciences accounts.
• Complete a QMS document inventory in Confluence (policies, procedures, records), including owners, review cadences, and gaps versus actual engineering practice.
• Take ownership of the stalled ISO 9001 gap assessment and schedule kickoff with the incumbent auditor (Coalfire or equivalent).
