About the role

  • This role includes but is not limited to, endpoint management, software procurement and renewals, identity and access administration, license optimization, vendor management, employee onboarding and offboarding, hardware lifecycle management, and IT training.

Responsibilities

  • Help build IT roadmap, setting technical direction for endpoint management, fleet automation, and IT operations across all KoBold offices and field sites in 10+ countries
  • Design and implement zero-touch provisioning and automated reimaging workflows for macOS (Jamf) and Windows (Intune) endpoints
  • Drive device lifecycle management including EoL/EoS tracking, hardware refresh planning, and inventory management across Jamf, Intune, CrowdStrike, and related tooling
  • Create self-service application deployment and access workflows to reduce helpdesk volume and empower employees
  • Manage the full software procurement lifecycle: new purchases, renewals, expansions, and cancellations, ensuring user access is never disrupted by lapsed licenses or last-minute renewals
  • Optimize license utilization across the SaaS portfolio-track usage, right-size seat counts, consolidate redundant tools, and negotiate pricing with vendors
  • Onboard new SaaS applications with proper Okta integration (SSO, SCIM) before launch, and manage decommissioning of deprecated tools
  • shift IT from reactive to proactive support

Requirements

  • Experience managing software procurement and renewals: specification and change management, vendor negotiation, license optimization, renewal pipeline management, and budget ownership
  • Strong prioritization instincts-you can look at a long list of IT initiatives and distinguish what actually matters from nice-to-haves, and you can explain why
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a dynamic work environment
  • All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada.
  • Strong experience with MDM platforms, particularly Jamf (macOS) and Microsoft Intune (Windows), including policy configuration, automated enrollment, compliance enforcement, and ideally infrastructure-as-code approaches (e.g. Terraform)

Nice to have

  • Coordinate with legal on contract review, working within the existing procurement process to move quickly on low-risk purchases while ensuring appropriate review for larger spend
  • Provide helpdesk backup on high-volume days, modeling the standard of responsiveness and quality you expect from the team
  • Coordinate digitization efforts across the globe, ensuring consistent standards and tooling for converting physical records to digital archives at field and office sites
  • 5+ years of experience in IT engineering, IT management, or a similar role combining hands-on technical depth with operational ownership
  • Experience with identity and access management platforms (Okta strongly preferred), including SSO integration, SCIM provisioning, access request workflows, and lifecycle automation

Compensation

  • Own and drive execution of the annual software budget, including process improvements year-over-year and proactive renewal pipeline visibility for legal and finance

Benefits

  • Comfort with ambiguity and a dynamic work environment; eagerness to take on an evolving range of responsibilities at a fast-growing company
  • Build endpoint monitoring, alerting, and fleet health dashboards to

Company info

  • The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago.
  • The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear - even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers.
  • KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models-alongside our novel sensors-to guide decisions on KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs.
  • In the six years since founding, KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer.
  • Our data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists.
  • KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades.
  • KoBold has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery.
  • KoBold is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T.
  • Rowe Price and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, Durable Capital, StepStone, and Standard Investments; and natural resources companies Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi.

Visa & Work Authorization

  • All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada.
