The posting

Emergence Director of IT, Emergence | Remote, U.S.-based | Full-Time

About the role

Emergence is hiring its first dedicated IT hire. This is a foundational role: you will build the portfolio IT function from the ground up, serving as the primary owner of IT across our holding company and portfolio companies. You will work closely with a fractional senior IT/Security advisor who owns the architecture with you, and a managed service provider for day-to-day delivery. 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.

What you'll do

Acquisition integration

- Run the IT workstream for every acquisition: inventory the stack, map access, stand up accounts and devices, wire the company into Emergence systems

- Build the Day 1-100 integration playbook this function currently lacks, then run it at roughly three closes a quarter

Identity, access, and operations

- Build and operate the joiner/mover/leaver standard across the portfolio, including offboarding completeness

- Operate the identity platform after selection and rollout (selection is in-flight, informed by a portfolio audit underway)

- Own the living inventory of tools, accounts, admin credentials, licenses, and renewal dates that every consolidation and security decision depends on

Vendors and shared services

- 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

Who you are

- 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

- Deep understanding of tradeoffs between centralized and decentralized IT delivery; you are a vocal advocate for what works well and what doesn’t

- Fluent in identity and access operations (Okta, Entra, JumpCloud, or similar): SSO, provisioning, lifecycle workflows

- Comfortable walking into a company with no documentation and systematically mapping what exists

- Strong vendor and license management instincts: contracts, renewals, SLAs, consolidation

- You build the playbook rather than execute one handed to you

- Excellent business stakeholder management skills - you can professionally engage at all levels of the organization

Bonus points

- Prior experience in a PE portfolio or holding company

- Admin depth in both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 (we run both today)

- Experience in regulated segments like healthcare, finance, or defence where compliance is integral to IT operations

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. Placement within the range is based on job-related factors including experience, skills, qualifications, and location.

Location

- Remote, U.S.-based.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
