About the role
As Scribe's IT Manager, you will own the full scope of internal IT operations — partnering closely with our Operations, Information Security, People, and Engineering teams.
In your first 3–12 months at Scribe, you will:
Take ownership of the end-to-end employee technology lifecycle — onboarding, offboarding, device provisioning, account setup, and access management — building a process that's seamless, secure, and scalable for a growing team.
Manage Scribe's device fleet, including laptop procurement, imaging, configuration, deployment, and returns, using Apple MDM tooling and Kandji to keep all endpoints enrolled, configured, and compliant.
Own day-to-day administration of access management, including user provisioning/deprovisioning, SSO app management (Okta), MFA configuration, and periodic access reviews.
Serve as the primary point of contact for internal IT support, troubleshooting hardware, software, and connectivity issues for both remote and in-office employees with speed and empathy.
Own SaaS tool administration across Scribe's technology stack — managing licenses, tracking usage, evaluating new tools, and ensuring cost-efficiency and compliance.
Partner with the Information Security team to maintain and strengthen security controls, including device encryption, patching, endpoint protection, and user access governance.
Support SOC 2 compliance efforts by maintaining internal IT controls, documenting security practices, and collaborating on audit readiness.
Manage relationships with outsourced providers for office infrastructure, including physical network (e.g. WAN/WLAN, IDF/MDF, VLAN), AV systems, badge access, and related vendor coordination.
Build and maintain clear IT documentation — process guides, runbooks, and knowledge base articles — so that IT workflows are repeatable, transparent, and easy to follow for technical and non-technical team members alike.
Continuously evaluate and improve IT workflows and tooling to drive automation, reduce manual work, and scale IT operations alongside the business.
What makes you a great fit
This role is best suited for someone who loves helping people work smarter through great systems and support. Our teammates are your customers, you thrive making their lives better. You are organized, proactive, and takes real ownership of the employee technology experience — you don't just fix problems, you build systems that prevent them. You're the kind of person who sees a manual process and immediately starts thinking about how to automate it, document it, and make it scale.
You have 6+ years of experience in IT operations, IT administration, or a related IT generalist role — ideally at a fast-growing SaaS or technology company.
You have deep hands-on experience with macOS device management, identity and access platforms (Okta required), and the core SaaS stack of a modern tech company (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion, etc.).
You're a builder, not just an operator. You've stood up IT processes from scratch or significantly improved existing ones — onboarding workflows, device lifecycle management, documentation, SaaS governance.
You can run autonomously. You don't need someone to tell you what to prioritize — you see what's broken, what's inefficient, and what's coming next, and you move on it.
You're comfortable being the sole IT person at a +200-person company and managing the full breadth of what that entails.
You have a security-first mindset and understand best practices around SSO/MFA, endpoint protection, least-privilege access, and device compliance.
You're an excellent communicator who can support employees at all levels.
