The team works across areas such as Microsoft 365, SaaS tooling, access management, onboarding/offboarding, device and endpoint management, internal support queues, asset management, and security/compliance-related processes. The current environment is broad, so the next manager will play an important role in defining clear ownership, sustainable boundaries, and a practical roadmap for the department. We are looking for someone who combines internal IT leadership experience with a pragmatic, service-oriented mindset. The right person will not simply explain why things cannot be done. They will work with internal stakeholders to understand the need, assess the risk, and find a practical, secure way forward.

Bonus points if you have - Experience with Torii or similar SaaS management platforms. - Experience with Jira/JSM, Slack, Atlassian administration, Bitwarden, GitHub/GitLab, Zoom, or similar tools. - Experience with Intune, Apple Business Manager, endpoint compliance, or device lifecycle management. - Experience managing IT budgets, SaaS costs, licenses, vendors, or asset lifecycle. - Experience in a SaaS or technology company. - Experience building request intake, prioritization, documentation, or IT service management processes. What success looks like First 3 months You have taken over the Internal IT agenda, built trust with the team, understood the current tools and processes, and started clarifying the scope of Internal IT operations. First 6 months You have defined growth plans and goals for both team members, progressed the handover and clarification of security-related processes, improved assessment readiness, and built a practical roadmap for the department. First 12 months Internal IT has a clearly defined strategy, stronger visibility across the company, clearer processes, and a better-understood operating model.
