• Manage all hardware distribution and refresh
• Lead employee help desk ticket workflow to support the business
• Work with our CISO to define process SLAs and then meet those SLAs
• Support our ISO 27001 certification effort and work with auditors as necessary (this is not a compliance role–but you should have some familiarity with security certifications / regulatory compliance obligations
• Propose new strategic IT initiatives that support both the business and our extremely high security needs

• 7-10+ years of experience as an enterprise IT leader in an environment of 500-1000+ employees

• Strong track record in a Mac-first environment (We have no Windows and zero Active Directory!)

• Familiarity with AWS strongly desired
• Familiarity with a SIEM would be a nice to have
• Track record of success in a cloud-first, cloud-native environment
• Experience ending BYOD phones and provisioning work-issued mobile devices across the enterprise
• Security mindset–at Ava Labs, the IT team reports to Security
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to build strong relationships with key people or organizations
• The ability to lead through influence, not authority
• Passion for crypto/web3 and eagerness to consume latest news and developments
• Thorough attention to detail and high organizational skills
• Comfortable working with low oversight, being proactive and anticipating future needs
