You'll partner closely with our VP of Engineering, Security, Compliance, and People teams to develop and execute Brigit's IT strategy. While you'll oversee one IT Support Specialist responsible for day-to-day help desk operations, this role is primarily focused on building scalable processes, improving security and compliance, driving automation, and ensuring operational excellence as Brigit continues to grow. We're looking for someone who enjoys creating structure where it doesn't yet exist-someone who is a builder, a problem solver, and a hands-on leader who takes ownership, drives execution, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves to get things done.
