IT Lead

IT Lead responsible for all vendor procurement, contracts, provisioning, IT strategy, employee technology experience (software/hardware), and execution of security policy at a clean energy finance platform. Requires 4-7 years IT experience at a high-growth startup, hands-on with modern IT stack, SOC2 audit experience, vendor negotiation, and bias toward automation and AI tools.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own employee SSO provisioning for new-hire onboarding as well as offboarding
  • Drive faster turnaround on SOC2 audit requests
  • Audit all systems, identify usage patterns, and find cost-cutting opportunities
  • Vendor renegotiation cadence
  • Device management & endpoint tooling

What We're Looking For

  • 4–7 years of experience in IT at a high-growth startup, ideally as the sole or primary IT owner — not one of many on a team
  • Hands-on depth with the modern startup IT stack: Google Workspace, an MDM platform, an identity provider, SSO/SAML, and SaaS lifecycle tooling
  • Direct experience contributing to a SOC2 audit cycle: owning evidence, managing a control area, or running the program
  • Track record negotiating SaaS contracts and rationalizing vendor spend
  • Comfort managing a mixed Mac/Windows environment
  • Bias toward automation: you see a manual provisioning request and think about how to eliminate the category, not just fulfill the ticket
  • Regular, practical use of AI tools as part of daily IT work; we use Claude, Harvey, and others internally and expect this role to push that frontier
  • Ability to operate without a team, manage a high-volume request queue, and still make time for the structural work

Tech stack: Google Workspace, Slack, Microsoft 365, Claude, GitHub, Vanta, 1Password, HubSpot, Highspot, Sybill, Granola, Harvey AI, Ramp, Navan, Vercel, Notion, Omni, BigQuery, Lattice, Adobe, and more

Bonus Points

  • Experience at a high-growth startup running IT
  • Experience running security (pattern-matching instincts for risk, even without owning strategy)
  • Experience working in a regulated business/industry

Compensation & Benefits

Base Compensation: $140,000 - $200,000 depending on leveling/years of experience, not reflecting value of equity. Company wide bonus tied to revenue goals. Stock options in a rapidly growing company.

Benefits:

  • Healthcare: 100% of premiums for employees (Aetna nationwide or Kaiser in WA/CA); 70% subsidized for dependents
  • Dental & vision: 100% for employees, 50% for dependents
  • 10 company holidays per year
  • 20 days PTO per year
  • 401k support (no match)
  • Parental leave: 16 weeks birthing, 12 weeks non-birthing
