Responsibilities

Own the architecture, reliability, and roadmap for our corporate IT environment

Our height-adjustable desks are set up with additional monitors, and employees are provided with the latest Apple technology to support productivity.
As a fast-growing company, we're continually improving what we've built while still building from the ground up.

Nice to have

Represent IT and Security in cross-functional conversations about infrastructure investment, risk tolerance, and compliance priorities
8+ years in IT, security, or a combined role, with at least 3 years in a leadership position
Demonstrated experience scaling IT and/or security at a high-growth company, ideally from startup scale through a significant expansion
Hands-on familiarity with FedRAMP Moderate, SOC 2, or comparable compliance frameworks
Fluency with infrastructure and configuration as code practices (e.g., policy-as-code, automated provisioning, GitOps-style change management)
Experience driving adoption of new tooling or technology across a non-technical or mixed technical/non-technical population, including designing training or enablement programs

Company info

rollout planning, communication, and ongoing evaluation of effectiveness
Design and drive an AI literacy program: training, office hours, and internal documentation so teams beyond Engineering can use AI tools effectively and safely
Team and Organizational Leadership**
Manage and develop an IT IC, providing mentorship and clear career growth pathways
Build a function that scales: document playbooks, establish repeatable processes, and hire ahead of need
## What We're Looking For
Experience**
Experience managing and developing early-career IT and security professionals
This is a pivotal hire.
We're expanding our IT leadership role to encompass enterprise security, and we're looking for a leader with the technical depth and strategic instincts to grow with that scope.
## The Role and Mindset
As Director of IT & Security, you'll own the intersection of corporate IT, engineering enablement, and enterprise security.
You'll report to our CISO and sit within Engineering, which means you'll have real proximity to the teams whose productivity and security posture you're shaping.
Your core focus is enterprise security and corporate IT.
But we're one team, and the best version of this role contributes broadly: helping engineers ship securely, supporting the compliance program where your expertise adds value, and closing gaps regardless of where they show up on an org chart.
You'll inherit a capable team and a clear mandate: raise the floor on security and operational maturity while keeping Paperless Parts moving fast.
We're looking for someone who has navigated company scaling before and can anticipate what we'll need before it becomes a problem.
You default to finding a solution, not delivering a verdict: you dig into the underlying need, do the discovery, and work with the team to find a path that actually works
You think in systems and anticipate second-order effects: you don't just fix what's broken, you design so it doesn't break
You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including engineers, executives, and auditors
You treat security as an enabler, not a gate
You're genuinely curious about how AI tools can make your team and the broader organization more effective, and you're energized by leading that adoption, not just advising on it
