About us

We’re a tight-knit team of creative, data-driven people, continuously building services & partnering with the world’s largest brands.

We value great work with talented, innovative & driven people, making meaningful connections with like-minded creatives along the way!

The Role

We’re hiring a hands-on IT Manager who is also an AI nerd — someone who gets excited about building intelligent systems, automating away manual work, and designing modern, secure infrastructure for a fully remote company.

This role blends IT ownership, cybersecurity leadership, and applied AI systems building. You’ll handle access and security day-to-day, but the real leverage comes from designing smarter workflows, AI-assisted ops, and security systems that scale across a global team.

If you read about AI agents, LLM workflows, RPA, or infra automation for fun, this role is probably for you.

What You’ll Own

AI-First IT & Automation

  • Design and build AI-assisted workflows for IT, access, security, and ops.

  • Use tools like Zapier, n8n, APIs, and LLMs to eliminate repetitive work.

  • Experiment with agents, automations, and monitoring systems that improve reliability and visibility.

  • Continuously look for ways AI can reduce cost, risk, and manual effort.

Core IT Operations (Hands-On)

  • Own access management across our stack (onboarding, offboarding, role changes).

  • Maintain clean permissions for a globally distributed, contractor-heavy team.

  • Handle day-to-day IT requests (mostly access; intentionally lightweight).

  • Be the internal escalation point for anything systems or security related.

Cybersecurity & Incident Response (Top Priority)

  • Architect and implement a modern security posture from a loose starting point.

  • Build real incident response playbooks (not theoretical ones).

  • Detect and shut down threats like impersonation, phishing, and domain abuse.

  • Guide us on zero-trust concepts, identity controls, and device expectations.

  • Support enterprise security questionnaires and client trust reviews.

  • Help us safely support healthcare recruiting & staffing workflows.

Compliance & Trust

  • Own GDPR compliance and data-handling standards.

  • Define security expectations for global contractors across ~20 countries.

  • Partner with leadership on future compliance needs (HIPAA-adjacent, enterprise-driven).

IT Strategy & Cost Control

  • Audit our current environment and design an optimized roadmap.

  • Own IT vendors, contracts, and seat management.

  • Use data and automation to track usage, waste, and spend.

  • Build systems that give leadership clear visibility into IT cost and risk.

You’ll help decide what stays, what goes, and what gets automated.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong hands-on IT or systems background (remote-first experience preferred).

  • Deep curiosity and enthusiasm for AI, automation, and modern tooling.

  • Comfort scripting, working with APIs, and building real systems (not demos).

  • Solid understanding of identity, access, and security fundamentals.

  • Experience responding to real-world security issues (impersonation, phishing, abuse).

  • Ability to explain risk, tradeoffs, and systems clearly to non-technical leaders.

  • Bias toward building, testing, and improving systems continuously.

Bonus Points

  • You’ve built internal AI tools, agents, or automations.

  • Experience designing security from scratch.

  • Exposure to healthcare, staffing, or regulated environments.

  • You follow AI tooling closely and experiment outside of work.

Why This Role Is Different

  • You’re not inheriting a locked-down corporate IT stack — you get to design it

  • You’ll build real AI-powered systems that people actually use

  • Security, automation, and cost control are executive priorities

  • Clear path to grow into a small IT org lead over time

Benefits

  • Unlimited Time Off & Sick Days

  • Flexible hours

  • Fully remote (with the possibility to work from anywhere)

  • Global pods (meet creatives from all around the world)

  • High opportunity for growth!
