The scope spans identity and access management, endpoint and device management, SaaS and AI platform administration, service desk, security and compliance operations support, and physical office infrastructure, supported by a team of 4 to 5 IT engineers.

This is a technical leadership role.

This role has a hybrid schedule, with 3-days a week in our NYC office.

What you9ll do

Identity & Access Management
  • Own the full identity lifecycle across Okta, including provisioning, deprovisioning, SSO/SCIM integrations, and group-based access policies.

AI Platforms & Tooling

  • Evaluate and onboard new AI productivity tools, ensuring they meet security and compliance standards before deployment.
  • Partner with Engineering and business leadership to identify opportunities where AI tooling can reduce operational toil and improve team effectiveness.
  • Administer and optimize the broader SaaS stack, including evaluation, onboarding, SSO integration, and license management.
  • Build and maintain automation to reduce manual IT toil, including scripting, GitHub Actions, API integrations, and MDM-delivered configurations.
  • Lead or support strategic tooling rollouts (e.g., AI productivity platforms, developer toolchains).

Security & Compliance Support
  • Partner with the Security and Privacy team on compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO, etc.) using tools like Drata, Proofpoint, and related platforms.
  • Own IT9s contribution to audit readiness, evidence collection, and policy enforcement.
  • Partner with Security Engineering to respond to and triage security incidents as they relate to endpoints, accounts, and SaaS access.

Infrastructure & Office
  • Oversee on-prem and colo infrastructure as needed, including coordination with SRE on shared systems.
  • Manage physical office technology: AV, networking, access control, and conference room systems across office locations.

Team & Stakeholder Management
  • Lead, mentor, and grow the IT team across support, systems engineering.
  • Serve as the primary IT partner to HR, Finance, Legal, and Engineering leadership.
  • Drive clear, timely communication for incidents, changes, and outages across the organization.
