# Manager, IT & Security at People Data Labs

- **Company:** People Data Labs
- **Location:** Remote
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-10-05
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-21

## Job description

People Data Labs is the trusted provider of workforce data. We do the heavy lifting of data collection and standardization to enable companies to build and scale innovative, compliant data solutions. As the Manager of IT and Security at PDL, you’ll oversee security, compliance, tools administration, helpdesk support, and other information technology needs. You’ll manage one very talented direct report and partner closely with leaders across the company. We are an intentionally smaller data company that believes revenue can scale without significant headcount (and therefore cost) increases. We are both fully profitable and growing, and we are looking for the next person to oversee the connective tissue that keeps everyone here successful and safe. We believe you can take security and compliance seriously while still having a fun and appropriately unhinged remote workplace. The ideal candidate for this role has managed an IT and/or security team for a fully remote environment, and values building systems and processes that make their coworkers’ lives easier. We believe AI tools and workflows can be leveraged in the right places, but we are not looking for someone focused on implementing AI for the sake of implementing AI. Our people are our secret sauce, both with our customers and behind the scenes. We don't need AI to replace the human touch.

Roles & Responsibilities

- Manage the IT & Security Team
- Oversee the IT & Security project roadmap, helpdesk workflows, and prioritization process for cross-functional initiatives such as migrations, system rollouts, and security enhancements
- Maintain a structured, automated, and audit-ready set of security and compliance processes, procedures, and protocols
- Partner closely with product and engineering, and departmental stakeholders on shared security initiatives and clear project plans for complex technical changes
- Oversee the company-wide application authentication stance, access management standards, and disaster recovery processes for critical systems
- Facilitate vendor relationships, evaluations, contracts, and renewals to ensure tools spend is carefully and thoughtfully managed

Required Skills & Experience

- 3-5 years of experience managing an IT, Security, or Technical Operations team
- 3+ years of experience working in a fully remote environment
- Experience managing IT project roadmaps, vendor relationships, and enterprise system migrations or rollouts.
- Working knowledge of enterprise identity and access management, authentication standards, and disaster recovery planning
- Strong organizational and project management skills
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience working with data via multiple delivery methods
- AWS security (IAM, CloudTrail, Inspector, Organizations + SCP)
- SSO + identity provider (preferably Okta)
- Compliance automation (e.g., Vanta)
- Basic scripting (e.g., Python, Bash)

Desired Skills & Experience

- Previous experience at a data company is not required but is always appreciated
- Remote security tooling (Tailscale, SentinelOne, 1Password)
- Exposure to infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Pulumi, Terraform)
- Monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Datadog)

Salary: $160,000 - $180,000

## Benefits

- Stock
- Competitive Salaries
- Unlimited paid time off
- Medical, dental, & vision insurance
- 401k
- Health, fitness, and office stipends
- The permanent ability to work wherever and however you want
