## Description

We are seeking a highly technical Lead IT Specialist to own and evolve our corporate IT systems, access, and security at a senior level. This role involves building secure, configurable, and well-governed systems across identity/access, endpoint management, device compliance, and core productivity platforms (Google Workspace and key SaaS).

**Strategy:**

- Participate in and advise on the IT technical roadmap across identity, endpoint security, access governance, and core corporate systems.

- Partner with Security/Infra to ensure SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 controls are operational.

- Establish standards for device compliance, access management, and SaaS lifecycle.

- Drive adoption of scalable patterns: SSO-first, least privilege, automated lifecycle management, and measurable compliance.

- Govern IT equipment in company offices.

**Technical/Execution:**

- Own Google Workspace administration end-to-end.

- Lead Identity & Access Management: SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, group-based access control.

- Own device endpoint management at scale using Kandji/Iru (Mac) and Intune (Windows).

- Build and maintain operational automation using BetterCloud or SaaS Manager workflows.

- Own core “security hygiene” within IT: account lifecycle, joiner/mover/leaver processes, device inventory accuracy.

- Support vendor/tool governance: software inventory ownership and vendor classification.

**Team/Collaboration:**

- Partner with Infra/DevOps/Security to align on controls, identity design, and incident readiness.

- Work with HR/PeopleOps on onboarding/offboarding and policy rollout.

- Collaborate with Finance/Procurement on renewals, licensing discipline, and cost visibility.

- Create clear documentation/runbooks for IT operations.

**Research/Best Practices:**

- Define “how we work” standards: SLA tiers, escalation rules, evidence cadence.

- Reduce repeat incidents via automation, standardization, and root-cause improvements.

- Build a monthly operating rhythm: access reviews, device compliance review, vendor/tool audits.

**What Success Looks Like:**

- **First 30 days:** Meet key stakeholders, audit Google Workspace, groups, SSO apps, device inventory, and current policies. Identify quick wins.

- **First 60 days:** Stabilize operations, implement onboarding/offboarding workflow, and roll out baseline endpoint compliance reporting.

- **First 90 days:** Deliver measurable improvements, lock down SSO standards, formalize IT runbooks, and ensure SOC2/ISO readiness.

**Requirements:**

- 7+ years in IT engineering/systems administration/corporate systems leadership.

- Deep expertise in Google Workspace administration and security controls.

- Strong experience with SSO/SAML and SCIM.

- Strong endpoint management experience: Kandji (Mac) and/or Intune (Windows).

- Comfort operating in a compliance-driven environment (SOC2/ISO).

**Nice to Have:**

- BetterCloud or similar automation tooling experience.

- Vendor risk management inputs and software governance experience.

- Experience rolling out Okta/device trust policies.

**How You Work:**

- Driven by Impact.

- Strategic & Customer-Centric.

- Curious & Growth-Oriented.

- Collaborative & Resilient.
