Team & RoleAs the IT & Identity Manager at Benepass, you'll own the IT function and the systems that support our employees, operating as a highly autonomous, hands-on leader within the organization. While this role does not currently have direct reports, you'll have significant ownership and responsibility, setting the IT roadmap, running reliable IT services, and remaining hands-on with identity, endpoint management, SaaS administration, and automation. You'll be accountable for service quality, project delivery, and the effective use of IT resources.
Reporting to the Head of Infosec & GRC, you'll partner closely with Engineering, People Operations, Security, and Finance to turn business needs into clear priorities. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you'll make decisions, communicate tradeoffs, and build scalable processes that others can operate. You'll balance strategic ownership with day-to-day execution, including providing support coverage when needed while making capacity constraints and project impacts visible.
Role Location & TravelThis remote role is based in the United States or Canada. You will be expected to attend company-wide on-site events three to four times per year, as well as occasional on-site office travel as necessary.
