Job description
We're looking for an IT & Security Manager to lead our internal IT support function and drive our security posture across the company.
You will manage a 3-person IT support team, ensure operational excellence (SaaS lifecycle, vendors, ticketing, and incidents), and own a practical security roadmap in close collaboration with the CTO.
This is a hands-on role: you will jump into escalations when needed, while also building the processes and tooling that make support and security scalable.
Your Scope:
IT Team Management
- Manage and develop a 3-person support team
- Run team rituals, distribute workload, and ensure high service quality
- Support career development through 1:1s, feedback, and training plans
IT Operations
- Track and optimize SaaS licenses (renewals, access rights, usage, cost control)
- Own vendor relationships for IT & security tools (selection, renewals, service quality)
- Step into ticketing when needed, especially for escalations and high-impact issues
- Own and improve the incident resolution process (severity, response, comms, post-mortems, action tracking)
Security:
- Run phishing simulation campaigns, security awareness training, and periodic audits
- Deploy and manage security tooling; enforce MFA and access best practices
- Own the security roadmap and report security posture, risks, and progress to the CTO
- Advocate best practices internally (cybersecurity charter, guidance, and enablement)
What Success Looks Like:
- Support team runs smoothly with clear ownership and predictable service levels
- SaaS footprint is controlled: accurate inventory, proactive renewals, and reduced waste
- Incidents are handled consistently with clear communication and measurable improvements over time
- Security posture improves pragmatically: strong MFA adoption, reduced risky access patterns, and engaged employees through awareness programs
Requirements
Proven experience of at least 3 years in IT operations / IT management (ideally in a fast-paced environment)
- Familiar with AWS security services (IAM, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, etc.)
- Prior experience managing or mentoring a support/helpdesk team
- Solid security fundamentals: identity & access management, endpoint and account hygiene, awareness programs, incident handling
- Comfortable with scripting / automation (bash, Python, PowerShell or equivalent) to troubleshoot, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate tools
- Strong process mindset: ability to define lightweight workflows, track KPIs, and drive continuous improvement
- Comfortable with vendor management and contract/renewal cycles
- Clear communication skills and calm prioritization under pressure
- Fluent in both English and French
- Ability to decompose complex problems, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver measurable outcomes through hands-on execution
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and stakeholder management skills
Nice to Have:
- Experience with modern security stacks (SSO/IdP, EDR, MDM, SIEM, password managers)
- Experience with Salesforce administration (users, permissions, profiles, flows, reporting)
- Experience implementing or supporting compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.)
- Experience in SaaS-heavy environments with rapid headcount growth
