The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join the Cybersecurity/IT Engineering team as a full time Manager of IT. The ideal candidate is comfortable wearing many different hats including supporting end users, managing endpoints, automating identity and access management, and administering cloud-based IT systems and tools. A successful candidate will have demonstrated previous success in similar role(s) in rapidly growing, security-first, environments. The right person is passionate about automation, scripting, and building infrastructure as code. But, just as passionate about helping end users who are in need of help.

You will be a participant in the design, implementation and management of our growing corporate cloud first infrastructure and networks. You will have a passion for innovation and creative problem solving, as well as be adaptable to the ever-changing landscape of the corporate infrastructure environment. You will need to be a highly motivated, dependable and an experienced technologist who shares our passion and wants to be a part of a fast moving and highly execution-oriented team.

You will work closely with your Cybersecurity/IT peers and key stakeholder teams, including, but not limited to, Customer Success, Marketing, Engineering and HR. The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator and fast learner who is looking for a supportive environment to continue to grow their IT skills and expertise. This role will report to the Director of IT.

About the Role

- You will be customer-facing, and the first line of support; you own support, and you are passionate about providing an outstanding support experience to our employees — via Slack, Jira, etc.
- We’re all Mac. You are a pro at troubleshooting, using the terminal, and making macOS work in the enterprise.
- You will be responsible for procuring and delivering technology equipment.
- You will own the experience of tech onboarding of all new employees as well as tech retrieval of all outgoing employees.
- You’ll design, test, build, and document programs and policies and tools, and contribute improvements to existing knowledge with your experience and background.
- You’ll support and manage SaaS applications — Google Workspace (GSuite), Slack, Jamf Pro, Jamf Protect, Jamf Connect, Okta, Jira, etc.
- You will work with and manage Mac endpoint and mobile device management tools — MDM, EMM, Jamf, etc.
- You’ll own and contribute to improvements on IDP and SSO tools (GSuite, Okta, etc.)
- You’ll detail your solutions, craft help articles and automate busywork.
- Manage, respond to, and fix critical incidents and issues as needed, through to completion.
- You’re comfortable juggling help desk tickets and can effectively prioritise them.
- You'll work on projects over sprints, and detail your work in tools like Jira (you’re experienced with agile methods and sprints).
- You’ll set and work to your own objective and key results with minimal direction, and can align them to the team and the company goals.

What You Bring to Ledn:

- 7+ years in SaaS systems administration: Jamf Pro, Google Workspace, Okta, Slack, Jira, Netsuite.
- Ability to create automations using bash, zsh, python, etc.
- Ability to utilize open source tools such as Nudge, CIS Benchmark scripts, SplashBuddy, Munki, etc.
- You are able to integrate SSO into Okta, create workflows in Okta.
- You know how to work with APIs, and integrate one system to another.
- You’ve provided remote support to people in multiple countries, across time zones, and you’re familiar with shipping and receiving hardware and customs.
- Unusually great communication skills across all media — you can make your ideas clear, and you can help people who might be frustrated or time poor without losing your cool.
- You write very well, whether it’s in tickets, email or Slack. You write in a clear, friendly, and concise manner, and are sensitive to different cultures.
- A desire to provide a magical experience for others — when they win, you win.
- You take security seriously, and you know what PGP is.
- You understand networking fundamentals and basic troubleshooting — TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing and switching.
- You must be able to competently and demonstrably know the troubleshooting steps and layers of the OSI model — you know how to methodically troubleshoot problems without wasting someone’s time.
- You can self-manage, and can accurately scope your project, priorities, and work across multiple teams. Strong organisational and task-management skills are critical.
- You’re comfortable dealing with ambiguity, and sometimes making the right decision without all the data.

Nice to Haves:

- Some familiarity with AWS (you will not need certifications, but you will have used these environments a bit.)
- You’ve used tools like GAM and command-line interfaces to do lots of work with less effort.
- Jamf certifications, Okta certifications, Google Workspace certifications.

Culture Fit:

We’re looking for more than just operational excellence — we want a leader who thrives in the startup or tech environment and embodies our values. The ideal candidate will:
