(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later).
At Oceans, we believe that talent knows no boundaries. That’s why we connect the best and brightest professionals with career-defining opportunities that challenge, inspire, and accelerate their career growth. Our community, whom we call Divers, don’t just work—they dive deep, solve complex challenges, and make a real impact with global industry leaders. And in doing so, they don’t just support bold ideas—they expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers.
As an IT Operations & Systems Manager, you will become the first dedicated owner of internal IT operations for a bootstrapped, profitable performance-marketing holding company that builds and operates its own consumer brands. Operating fully remotely with an asynchronous, written-first culture across 20+ countries, you will build a scalable workplace-technology function from the ground up.
This is a hands-on operations role requiring strong technical literacy and end-to-end ownership across the complete employee IT lifecycle. Rather than managing infrastructure or setting enterprise IT strategy, you will take direct responsibility for device procurement, MDM deployment, access provisioning, SaaS license tracking, offboarding, and daily IT support.
Accountability:
As an IT Operations & Systems Manager, your success will be defined by your ability to build a secure, zero-touch IT environment, maintain complete inventory accuracy, and ensure seamless Day-1 onboarding and secure offboarding across a distributed workforce.
Here’s how you’ll make an impact:
Device & Endpoint Lifecycle Management
- Own laptop and equipment purchasing, deployment, and global vendor relationships.
- Coordinate international shipping, delivery, repairs, replacements, and secure equipment returns.
- Register Mac fleets through Apple Business Manager and manage MDM enrollment, security policies, FileVault, patching, screen-lock, and standard software configurations.
- Maintain a complete hardware inventory by employee, serial number, location, and operational status.
- Lead the first major project: completing zero-touch Mac deployment so new hires open a fresh device with all required applications and security controls ready to go.
