IT Operations Lead

IT Operations Lead (Hybrid – Boston)

Ready to level up your career?

We’re hiring a hands‑on IT Operations Team Lead to lead a team of engineers while staying technical. You’ll be the escalation point for complex issues, drive operational excellence, and deliver infrastructure and security projects across the EMEA region.

This is a role for a technical lead — someone who still enjoys building, automating, troubleshooting, and improving platforms, while coaching others and raising standards.

Our culture is rooted in connection - connection to our mission, our customers, and each other. We foster a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where your ideas and impact matter.

What You’ll Do

• Act as the senior escalation point for complex incidents (root cause, permanent fixes, post‑incident improvements)
• Lead root‑cause analysis, define permanent fixes, and ensure lessons learned are embedded through documentation and process improvements
• Take ownership of technically challenging problems and see them through end‑to‑end, from investigation to resolution and follow‑up
• Lead technical workstreams for initiatives such as office moves, network and firewall refreshes, cloud and hybrid improvements, and acquired‑company integrations
• Work closely with vendors, internal stakeholders, and other IT teams to deliver changes safely and effectively
• Improve platform reliability and performance through proactive monitoring, automation, patching, and repeatable operational processes
• Work closely with the Information Systems team to support audit readiness and evidence capture aligned to ISO27001, SOC, and internal control frameworks
• Work closely with the Cyber Security team to ensure security best practices are embedded across identity, endpoint, network, and infrastructure platforms
• Contribute to continuous improvement of security posture, resilience, and risk management
• Provide day‑to‑day technical direction and mentoring to engineers; help them develop deeper expertise and confidence
• Set clear expectations around ownership, accountability, quality, and follow‑through
• Support individual development, progression planning, and readiness for increased responsibility
• Partner with IT Operations leadership on workload planning, risk management, and delivery priorities
