Stakeholder ManagementLeadership
About the role
- Emergence is hiring its first dedicated IT hire.
Responsibilities
- Build the Day 1-100 integration playbook this function currently lacks, then run it at roughly three closes a quarter
- Build and operate the joiner/mover/leaver standard across the portfolio, including offboarding completeness
- Own the living inventory of tools, accounts, admin credentials, licenses, and renewal dates that every consolidation and security decision depends on
- Manage the MSP relationship and SLA for portfolio companies that consume central IT delivery
- Own vendor contracts, renewals, license consolidation, and portfolio volume pricing
- Build the back-end connections that feed our cross-portfolio data platform
- You build the playbook rather than execute one handed to you
Requirements
- you are a vocal advocate for what works well and what doesn't
- Excellent business stakeholder management skills - you can professionally engage at all levels of the organization
- Prior experience in a PE portfolio or holding company
Skills
- Operate the identity platform after selection and rollout (selection is in-flight, informed by a portfolio audit underway)
- 6-10 years in hands-on IT operations, systems administration, or MSP/consulting delivery, with at least 3 in an IT leadership role
- Experience running IT across multiple companies, clients, or business units at once - not a single-company environment, however well run
- Experience owning the IT workstream of an acquisition - due diligence, Day 1 readiness, and post-close systems rationalization and migration
Compensation
- We offer competitive compensation and a full benefits package.
- The base salary range for this role is $140,000-$175,000, plus a performance-based bonus.
Benefits
- Experience in regulated segments like healthcare, finance, or defence where compliance is integral to IT operations
Company info
- Comfortable walking into a company with no documentation and systematically mapping what exists
- You are not expected to run every company's IT - you are expected to know the portfolio well enough to centralize what creates leverage across companies, leave alone what a company already does well, and know the difference.
