Provide technical governance for business tools (e.g., CRM / Microsoft Dynamics 365). Identity, Security & Compliance: Own identity and access management (Microsoft Entra ID / M365, SSO, MFA, privileged access). Lead our SOC 2 compliance program end-to-end (audit coordination, evidence collection, control operation, and remediation). Manage endpoint security, vendor reviews, and corporate security incident response. AI Governance & Information Management: Establish policies for approved AI tools, assess security/data privacy risks, and manage the corporate information framework. Must-Have Requirements: Experience: 5+ years of IT experience, including acting as an accountable owner for IT operations in a distributed or lean environment. Compliance & SOC 2: Proven experience leading or materially driving SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent compliance/security programs. Identity Management: Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Microsoft 365, SSO, MFA, and employee lifecycle management. Endpoint Management: Hands-on experience supporting and managing both Windows and macOS environments. MSP & Vendor Management: Demonstrated ability to manage, evaluate, and hold MSPs and external contractors accountable. Profile: Self-driven, highly analytical, process-oriented, with excellent written communication and documentation skills. Preferred Experience (Plus): Experience as the primary IT owner in a small-to-midsize company (100–500 employees). Experience with scripting, APIs, Microsoft Graph, or PowerShell.
