About the Role

We're looking for an IT Manager who is equally at home fixing a laptop and building a security awareness training program. This is a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground role and the primary IT resource for everyone at Clearly Filtered. You'll own end-user support, device and systems management, IT security and compliance, and employee training, and you'll work closely with our Data & Technology team on anything that requires deeper technical architecture. The right person is organized, responsive, and self-directed. You receive high-level direction and figure out the rest yourself!

*This is an onsite position based in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. Candidates should only apply if they are able to work onsite 4 days per week.

What You'll Do

IT Security & Compliance

  • Manage endpoint security including antivirus, MDM, and device encryption
  • Own access control and identity management across all company systems
  • Monitor for security threats and respond when issues arise
  • Support compliance requirements and conduct periodic security audits
  • Maintain data backup and business continuity processes

IT Training & Enablement
  • Deliver IT onboarding for all new hires covering systems, equipment, and security expectations
  • Build and maintain an IT resource library of how-to guides and FAQs
  • Lead annual company-wide security awareness training including phishing simulations
  • Educate employees on security threats and best practices in plain, accessible language

What You Bring

Required

  • Experience with physical networking infrastructure including cabling, hardware management, AP placement, and software management
  • Familiarity with MDM platforms for device management and endpoint security
  • Working knowledge of IT security principles including access control, data protection, and security awareness
  • Strong communication skills, able to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical users
  • Highly organized with strong follow-through and attention to detail

Preferred
  • Familiarity with IT compliance frameworks

  • Security incidents are rare, and when they do occur, response is fast and well-coordinated
  • The IT function is organized, proactive, and trusted by the people it supports

What We Offer

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance benefits
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid holidays, floating holiday, and PTO
  • The opportunity to be part of a growing brand focused on helping people live healthier lives

What to Expect
