Your scope spans corporate IT — offices, data center, endpoints, and SaaS — while also playing a supporting role in our autonomous trucking operations. You will lead a small IT team while remaining an active individual contributor — owning escalations, driving projects, and setting technical direction. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving environment where they can build scalable processes, mature our security posture, and directly shape how IT operates as the company grows.

- Drive continuous improvement of ITSM tooling and workflows to increase efficiency and service quality
- Develop, implement, and manage comprehensive IAM strategies and workflows, including RBAC, JIT access, and PAM
- Continuously mature the MDM program — refine enrollment workflows, compliance policies, and configuration baselines as the fleet and workforce scale
- Automate repetitive IT workflows and processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of IT support and systems engineers, including performance reviews and growth plans
- Set team priorities and manage workload distribution across projects, tickets, and on-call rotation
