What you will do

• Lead and develop a small team while remaining hands-on with troubleshooting, identity and access management, endpoint administration, and platform configuration.
• Manage employee IT, onboarding and offboarding, collaboration tools, office technology, endpoint security, incident readiness, business continuity, and compliance documentation.
• Own technical delivery and operations for Salesforce, NetSuite, Celigo, and integrations connecting business applications.
• Build self-service, API, scripting, and workflow automation, including reliable joiner, mover, and leaver processes; apply AI with permissions, evaluation, auditability, and human oversight.
• Own budgets, procurement, renewals, vendor performance, license utilization, tool retirement, and operational-risk reduction.

Requirements

• Approximately 5–10 years of relevant professional experience, including 2–3 years leading corporate IT operations and managing employees.
• Experience supporting a small to midsize organization, ideally in a startup or growth-stage environment with a modern, cloud-first stack.
• Experience independently leading a corporate IT or business-technology function, including people management, prioritization, vendors, budgets, and cross-functional relationships.
• Track record of leading a small team while remaining technically engaged and improving results without primarily adding headcount.
• Hands-on knowledge of identity, SaaS administration, endpoint management, access controls, and employee lifecycle workflows.
• Production automation or integration experience using APIs, scripting, or workflow platforms, including monitoring, failure handling, and secure credential management.
• Experience governing business applications and cross-functional workflows, with knowledge of CRM, ERP, data integrity, testing, and change-control risks.
• Commercial judgment demonstrated through vendor negotiation, license optimization, tool consolidation, or cost avoidance.
• Clear communication, a service-oriented mindset, and independent decision-making with appropriate escalation of material business risks.
