• Cross-Functional Influence: Works across Engineering, Platform, Legal & Compliance, People Operations, and Finance - partnering with engineering teams on Kubernetes and cloud security reviews, with People Operations on onboarding and offboarding, and with Finance on SaaS procurement and renewals. Drives security awareness across the whole company through training and phishing simulation.

Tracking hardware, software, and licence assignments from procurement through deployment, reassignment, and secure decommissioning or disposal. Keep asset records accurate and reconciled against purchasing and licence data, and use them to drive refresh cycles, spend decisions, and audit evidence.
• Onboarding & Offboarding: Own the IT side of employee onboarding and offboarding in partnership with Human Resources. Provision devices, accounts, and role-appropriate access for new hires, and on exit revoke access promptly across all systems, recover and wipe company hardware, and handle data retention and transfer correctly. Keeps the process documented, repeatable, and auditable.
• Platforms & Vendors: Own SaaS procurement, licence audits, and renewals. Administer Google Workspace, Atlassian, and other core tools, ensuring configurations meet security standards.
• Projects & Support: Run IT and security projects from scoping through delivery. Resolve issues via ticketing and in-person support, maintain SLAs, and keep documentation and runbooks current.
