Lead and support IT operations while managing a small team to improve security, efficiency, and employee experience in a scalable environment.
Hi, my name is Bill, VP of Operations, and I am seeking a hands-on and strategic Senior Manager of Information Technology to lead and scale our internal technology operations. Reporting to me, this role is responsible for overseeing IT infrastructure, managing internal systems, and ensuring a secure, reliable, and efficient tech environment for our globally distributed team. The ideal candidate will not only lead but also be comfortable rolling up their sleeves to work directly alongside their team—a capable IT Manager and IT Support Specialist—solving problems and optimizing performance.
This is a player-coach role — you’ll lead a small but high-impact team (IT Manager and IT Support Specialist) while staying close to the work. You’ll partner closely with stakeholders across the business to improve reliability, security, and employee experience, while helping build more scalable and efficient IT operations over time.

Zone 1: $188,000 - $211,000 USD Zone 2: $172,000 - $193,000 USD Zone 3: $157,000 - $176,000 USD
