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.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary range: $150,000 – $225,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
This is a fully on-site role based in New York, NY.
