About the Role
We're looking for a Lead IT Administrator to own our entire IT function at a fast-growing AI fintech company of ~150 people. This is a hands-on, end-to-end ownership role — you'll build scalable systems, not just maintain them, and your work will directly enable the company to hire and operate at speed.
What You'll Do
-
Own identity, access controls, and employee lifecycle systems across the company (Google Workspace, Okta, and the full SaaS stack).
-
Take end-to-end ownership of a Mac-first endpoint environment — MDM, security baselines, patching, and device compliance.
-
Design and build automated onboarding and offboarding workflows that provision new employees in minutes.
-
Own corporate security fundamentals including endpoint security, access controls, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit readiness.
-
Manage and rationalize the company's SaaS stack — provisioning, licensing, and vendor lifecycle management.
-
Use AI tools and build custom automations to eliminate repetitive IT tasks and scale operations without adding headcount.
-
Run day-to-day IT operations across identity, devices, networking, and office infrastructure, resolving issues directly.
What We're Looking For
-
5–15 years of IT administration experience, with end-to-end ownership at a high-growth startup (ideally 50–300 employees).
-
Hands-on experience implementing an IdP (Okta or equivalent) with SSO/SCIM integration.
-
Deployed and managed MDM platforms such as Jamf or Kandji in a Mac-first environment supporting an in-person engineering team.
-
Built automated onboarding/offboarding provisioning workflows and supported a company through rapid headcount scaling (50+ new hires).
-
Solid background in endpoint security, ZTNA, and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
-
Strong vendor and stakeholder management skills — comfortable negotiating SaaS licenses and coordinating cross-functional projects.
-
Experience using AI tools to automate IT workflows and eliminate operational toil.
-
Worked at a Series A–D startup within the last 3 years.
-
Technical degree (CS, physics, math, or engineering) is a plus.
