Job description

About the Company

Ajaia is a rapidly growing AI consultancy and product studio dedicated to helping organizations move from experimentation to real results. We operate across four core pillars: AI Strategy and Advisory, AI Engineering and Automation, Workforce Training and Enablement, and Custom Product Development.

In addition to client services, Ajaia builds proprietary AI products, copilots, and vertical solutions that solve high-value industry problems. This dual model allows us to translate hands-on implementation experience into scalable products while continuously refining our approach through real-world deployment.

Our operating model combines deep technical execution with practical change management, enabling enterprises to deploy secure, compliant, and high-impact solutions that drive measurable operational value. From executive roadmapping to production-ready systems and workforce upskilling, Ajaia embeds intelligent tools directly into the workflows that matter most.

Position Overview

Ajaia is hiring an IT Security Manager to own day-to-day IT operations and security across the organization. This is a hands-on role. You will manage internal IT systems, enforce security policies, maintain compliance programs, and drive automation across a multi-cloud environment (GCP and Azure).

You are not setting strategy from a distance. You are configuring systems, writing policies, managing access, running audits, and solving problems directly. The company is AI-first, and you are expected to use AI tools to automate processes, improve monitoring, and work faster.

This role starts as an individual contributor with the potential to grow into a team lead as the function scales.

We expect candidates to use AI in daily workflows across research, ideation, drafting, design iteration, quality checks, and delivery acceleration. AI fluency is a core execution requirement, not optional tooling.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience
• 4-7 years of experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • IT operations and systems administration
  • IT security and security operations
  • Cloud administration and security (GCP, Azure, or multi-cloud environments)
  • Compliance support and audit preparation (HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar frameworks)
• Hands-on experience administering and securing cloud platforms (GCP and Azure preferred)
• Familiarity with HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance requirements, including experience supporting audit preparation and evidence collection
• Experience managing identity and access controls (SSO, MFA, RBAC) and endpoint security policies
• Experience with Google Workspace administration at an organizational level
• Ability to manage vendor relationships for IT and security services
• Comfortable working independently, prioritizing across multiple workstreams, and communicating with non-technical teams
• Proficiency with AI tools in daily workflow

Preferred Requirements

• Relevant certifications: CompTIA Security+, CISM, CCSP, or equivalent
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD security, or DevOps tooling
• Scripting ability for automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar)
• Background in regulated industries such as healthcare or financial services
• Experience with GDPR or other regional data protection regulations
• Experience with endpoint management (MDM) and device policy enforcement for distributed teams
• Experience with security monitoring, alerting, or SIEM tools
• Background managing IT operations in a remote-first or distributed environment

Benefits

• Base salary: Approximately $30,000-$35,000 USD per year (calibrated for target regions).
• Performance bonus: Opportunity to earn up to 100% of base salary in performance-based bonuses.
• Salary and total compensation depend on experience, location, and demonstrated performance during the hiring process.
