About the role

Life360's IT team exists to enable our 500+ remote-first employees to be equipped, productive, and secure, wherever they're working from.
This opportunity will allow you to reimagine how IT operates in an AI Native environment and bring an engineering mindset to how the function runs: structured, automated, and metrics-driven.
This is a role for someone who wants to take an IT function to its next stage of maturity, not just keep it running as-is.

Own the strategy and execution of Life360's core IT Operations & Engineering teams including enterprise identity, endpoint management, network infrastructure, collaboration, and end user services
Drive the technical roadmap and transparency programs to provide leadership clear visibility into IT quality, risks, and investments
Lead, hire, and grow a high-performing IT team, raising the bar toward an engineering first skillset and standing up new IT engineering roles as the function scales
Partner with the CISO and Information Security to ensure every service and process meets our safety standards
Identify and implement AI Native tools and automation that improve internal productivity and employee workflows, in line with Life360's broader AI Native transformation
Own IT vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and budget planning, partnering with Finance and Procurement
Our company's mission-driven culture is guided by our shared values to create a trusted work environment where you can bring your authentic self to work and make a positive difference

Minimum of 15 years of experience in IT, including at least 7-8 years in a senior leadership role directing multiple teams or functions
Experience embedding AI tools and automation into IT operations and employee productivity workflows
Experience owning budgets, vendor relationships, and procurement decisions
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, related field, or equivalent experience

Serve as escalation point and executive sponsor for major IT incidents, migrations, and large-scale initiatives
Employees experience IT as a real productivity advantage: fast, reliable tools and a technical experience they're glad to have.

Competitive pay and benefits
Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well-being
Flexible PTO, 13 company-wide days off throughout the year
Learning & Development programs
Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment

That means owning the identity, endpoint, infrastructure, and collaboration experience end to end, and treating the services it owns as a product.
IT reports to our CISO and sits right next to Information Security, and the two teams work as true partners with decisions made together, not thrown over a wall.
That partnership matters even more as
What We're Looking For
