Job Description ASG is looking for an IT Security Director to own and modernize HoldCo's internal IT and security environment.

You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will:

Own HoldCo's core technology environment across Google Workspace, device management, identity management, enterprise SaaS, security tooling, and AI tooling. Build practical security controls that let teams deploy new SaaS, AI, and internal solutions quickly while appropriately managing risk. Run the user and device lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, access changes, endpoint management, and administration of core systems. Monitor escalations from our 24/7 SOC, surface material issues quickly, and partner with the CISO when an issue requires incident response. Partner with AI Governance to operationalize policies and guardrails, surface emerging policy questions, and support safe adoption of enterprise AI tools. Use lightweight automation, scripting, and integrations to remove repetitive work and occasionally help portfolio companies deploy enterprise tooling.

We're Excited About You Because:

You have deep hands-on experience operating modern IT environments and are comfortable personally configuring, troubleshooting, and improving the systems you own. You have administered Google Workspace, device management, identity and access management, enterprise SaaS, and endpoint or security tooling. You think about security as a builder, not a gatekeeper - creating practical guardrails that protect the business while enabling teams to move quickly. You are highly fluent with modern enterprise AI tools, use AI actively in your own work, and understand the security and governance considerations around deployment. You can use lightweight scripting, APIs, workflow automation, and SaaS-native integrations to solve operational problems without being a software engineer. You've worked in small, scrappy environments where you owned a broad technology surface area and reduced reliance on outside providers. You communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences and make employees feel supported while setting sensible standards and boundaries. You possess a proactive, solution-oriented, problem-solving mindset -- "I'll figure it out," and thrive in a small, fast-paced, results-oriented environment.
