Senior Manager, Information Technology

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Manager of Information Technology to lead our IT organization, and to build the modern, automation-first IT function this business demands. You'll lead a distributed team of engineers and support analysts, and own the full IT function end-to-end.

This is a hands-on "player-coach" role: you will set the strategy, raise the bar on execution, and roll up your sleeves to fix the technical debt that's holding productivity back.

You will own the modern IT stack end-to-end — identity (Okta), device lifecycle, onboarding/offboarding automation, and SLA performance — while partnering closely with Security, People, and Engineering to make Engine a place where employees get what they need on day one and every day after.

What You Will Do

• Lead the IT organization. Manage a distributed team of engineers and support analysts, with on-site coverage in Tempe and Chicago. Coach the team, define performance standards, and build the operating cadence that raise the talent density.
• Attack the tech debt: Define what a modern IT function looks like at Engine — device lifecycle, endpoint security, internal tooling, integrations. Retire what shouldn't exist. Consolidate what should.
• Own identity and automation: Architect Okta as Engine's single source of truth for identity, access, and automation. Onboarding, offboarding, provisioning, access reviews — if it's manual today, it won't be six months from now.
• Own SLAs and support quality: Define, measure, and hit SLAs across Tier 1/2 support, device lifecycle, and access management.
• Harden our identity and security posture: Partner with Security on Okta, SSO, MFA, and access reviews. Ensure that scale never comes at the cost of the basics.
• Set the IT strategy: Make sharp calls about where to invest engineering time. Say no when it matters. Ship the initiatives with the biggest business impact.

What You Bring

• Leadership. You have led IT teams before in fast-moving, remote-first environments. You've led a fix-and-modernize phase before, not just steady-state.
• Tech stack fluency. Deep experience with Okta (required), modern MDM (Intune, Jamf, Kandji, or similar), Google Workspace, and the Atlassian suite. Certifications welcome; real experience carries more weight.
• Project management and execution. You can scope, sequence, and land complex cross-functional programs (domain consolidation, M&A integrations, and more).
