Director, IT

DNSFilter's mission is to protect our customers and partners with products they love to use! We are revolutionizing network security by providing fast, accurate, and reliable threat protection and content filtering. We're a rapidly growing company dedicated to creating a safer internet for businesses and organizations worldwide. Leveraging AI-driven threat intelligence, DNSFilter empowers our customers to proactively block threats before they impact their networks. We foster a collaborative, innovative, and results-oriented culture where every team member contributes to our mission of making the internet safer.

We are a security company, and how we run our own systems should reflect that. Our internal IT function has kept pace with a growing company through automation rather than headcount, and it is ready for someone to own it end to end. That's where you come in!

We are looking for a Director of IT, based in our Tampa office, to own internal identity, endpoints, and employee technology at DNSFilter. This is a hands-on leadership role, not an oversight role. You will run Okta, Google Workspace, and our MDM platforms yourself while leading one Senior IT Support Analyst, and you will be accountable for whether our controls actually work, not just whether they are configured. The ideal candidate has built an IT function at this stage before, is comfortable in the consoles, and would rather automate a recurring problem than staff it.

**This role reports to the SVP of Operations and partners closely with Security, People, Finance, and every department that depends on getting access to their tools on day one.

This is a full-time hybrid-office role for our Tampa (Westchase), Florida office.** 

Eligible candidates have worked successfully in a small- to mid-sized, fast-paced, hyper-growth SaaS start-up or scale-up.

We recognize that people come with a wealth of experience and talent beyond just the technical requirements of a job. If you feel like this job is for you, please apply. We believe diversity of experience and skills, including transferable skills, combined with passion, is a key to innovation and excellence; therefore, we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply to our positions!

In this role, you will:

Identity and Access

• Own Okta day to day: user administration, SSO configuration, app assignments, MFA policy implementation, lifecycle rules, and Okta Desktop MFA across the fleet
• Own Google Workspace administration, including groups, distribution lists, delegated access, and directory hygiene
• Own the onboarding, offboarding, and change management lifecycle end to end, and be accountable for the number that says access was actually revoked on time
