Who Is Nisos?

Nisos is the Managed Intelligence company. Our services enable some of the world’s largest companies’ security, intelligence, and trust & safety teams to more smartly defend against and more effectively respond to advanced cyber attacks, disinformation, and abuse of digital platforms.

We are a mission-driven company committed to combating digital adversaries; this is the foundation for how we conduct business every day. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, we empower an open and diverse workplace, and we strive to treat everyone who is touched by our business with dignity and respect. Our employees challenge the status quo, ask questions, and find creative solutions for our clients.

What Is The Opportunity?

Nisos is looking for an Information Systems Manager to lead a team of IT professionals supporting our global organization. We are looking for a talented IT professional who can help us scale our business and nurture a growing IT team.

You will enjoy very strong support from management in your efforts to provide secure, seamless information systems. By the end of 2022, you will be responsible for systems supporting nearly 100 employees working largely remotely across the United States and Northern Ireland. We maintain almost zero physical infrastructure and prefer to use hosted SaaS wherever possible. We exclusively use Mac laptops, which we administer with Jamf and DataJar. While we do use some Microsoft Office 365, our primary tools are Google Workplace, Slack, and Atlassian. We manage users with Okta SSO, and we employ an MDR firm for endpoint security management. 

The ideal candidate will be an entrepreneurial, self-directed technical expert that can work both independently and as well as direct the broader team. The right candidate is comfortable building enterprise IT solutions one minute and resolving a help desk ticket the next. Our Information Systems team is small, and we work as a cohesive team to ensure the rest of Nisos never has to think about its information systems. We are looking for a leader who is good at influencing their team to produce high performance outcomes.
