Description du poste

• As the Manager of IT and Security at PDL, you’ll oversee security, compliance, tools administration, helpdesk support, and other information technology needs
• You’ll manage one very talented direct report and partner closely with leaders across the company
• We are an intentionally smaller data company that believes revenue can scale without significant headcount (and therefore cost) increases
• We are both fully profitable and growing, and we are looking for the next person to oversee the connective tissue that keeps everyone here successful and safe
• We believe you can take security and compliance seriously while still having a fun and appropriately unhinged remote workplace
• The ideal candidate for this role has managed an IT and/or security team for a fully remote environment, and values building systems and processes that make their coworkers’ lives easier
• We believe AI tools and workflows can be leveraged in the right places, but we are not looking for someone focused on implementing AI for the sake of implementing AI
• Our people are our secret sauce, both with our customers and behind the scenes. We don’t need AI to replace the human touch
• Manage the IT & Security Team
• Oversee the IT & Security project roadmap, helpdesk workflows, and prioritization process for cross-functional initiatives such as migrations, system rollouts, and security enhancements
• Maintain a structured, automated, and audit-ready set of security and compliance processes, procedures, and protocols
• Partner closely with product and engineering, and departmental stakeholders on shared security initiatives and clear project plans for complex technical changes
• Oversee the company-wide application authentication stance, access management standards, and disaster recovery processes for critical systems
• Facilitate vendor relationships, evaluations, contracts, and renewals to ensure tools spend is carefully and thoughtfully managed

Benefits

• Remote-first work, always: As a remote-first company, we believe in flexible work that fits your life. It’s that simple.
• Unlimited PTO: No checking how many vacation days you have left! Rest, recharge, and take time off when you need it.

• Basic scripting (e.g., Python, Bash)
• Compliance automation (e.g., Vanta)
• 3-5 years of experience managing an IT, Security, or Technical Operations team
• Working knowledge of enterprise identity and access management, authentication standards, and disaster recovery planning
• Experience managing IT project roadmaps, vendor relationships, and enterprise system migrations or rollouts
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• 3+ years of experience working in a fully remote environment
• Strong organizational and project management skills
• AWS security (IAM, CloudTrail, Inspector, Organizations + SCP)
• Experience working with data via multiple delivery methods
• SSO + identity provider (preferably Okta)
• Previous experience at a data company is not required but is always appreciated
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Pulumi, Terraform)
• Remote security tooling (Tailscale, SentinelOne, 1Password)
• Monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Datadog)
