And we've created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you're building. Ours is a no-ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect.

  • Understand the diverse needs of end-users and proactively create a positive and supportive IT experience.
  • Plan, execute, and monitor Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to drive team growth and success.
  • Contribute to the planning and execution of an overall IT strategy for SimpliSafe.
  • Lead technology projects and deployments, ensuring successful implementation and adoption.
  • Maintain strong relationships with external vendors, establishing and monitoring Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to meet business requirements.
  • What You'll Bring :

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Up to 6 years of experience in IT, including at least 3 years in a people management role leading and developing technology teams.
  • A strong understanding of IT infrastructure, encompassing networks, servers, cloud technologies, and common enterprise applications.
  • Proven experience managing IT operations, including service desk support, incident management, and problem resolution.
  • Proven experience managing IT projects from start to finish with minimal supervision.
  • A passion for providing exceptional customer service and creating positive support experiences for end-users.
  • A commitment to fostering a psychologically safe and inclusive team environment where everyone feels supported, valued, and empowered to do their best work.
  • The ability to meet the physical demands of the role, which include frequent standing, walking, and using hands to handle equipment.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with macOS and Windows endpoint management, including MDM tools like Jamf and Intune.
  • Familiarity with workforce identity tools such as Okta and Lumos.
  • Proficient with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 administration.
  • Experience with collaboration tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Slack.
  • Knowledge of Jira Service Desk and Jira for IT service management and project tracking.
  • Experience with Confluence for knowledge management and documentation.
  • Experience with SaaS tool management and optimization.
  • Bonus points : In-depth experience with live event production or collaboration tooling.

  • No Ego - Maintaining a "no job too small" attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
  • One Team - Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
  • Lift As We Climb - Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.

  • What We Offer :

  • A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment where you can build, grow and thrive
  • A comprehensive total rewards package that supports your wellness and provides security for SimpliSafers and their families
  • Free SimpliSafe system and professional monitoring for your home.
  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that bring people together, give opportunities to network, mentor and develop, and advocate for change.
  • We wholeheartedly embrace and actively seek applications from all individuals, no matter how they identify. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we believe our work is enriched when we incorporate a multitude of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We want everyone who works here to thrive and contribute to not only our mission of keeping every home secure, but also to making our workplace safe and supportive for others.
