Job Description

Position: Manager, Information Technology

Location: Nashville, TN

Overview

The Manager, Information Technology is a hands-on role covering the applications, infrastructure, and security that Silicon Ranch runs on. The company has grown to more than 400 legal entities and over 200 operating projects, and IT has stayed deliberately small. This position adds depth and capacity the team.

The work is broad by design. A given week might include administering business applications, building an integration between two systems, resolving an escalated identity or endpoint issue, tuning a security control, automating a manual process, or running a vendor evaluation. Success in the role comes down to knowing the systems, the processes, and the people well enough to pick any of it up on short notice and keep it moving. It calls for someone who works independently, communicates clearly with stakeholders, and uses good judgment with confidential financial and personnel information.

Main Responsibilities

Business Partnership & Systems Support

• Support the Senior Manager, Information Technology in the IT partnership with the business, translating process and stakeholder requests into system and data requirements.
• Own the administration, configuration, and lifecycle of assigned business applications, including access management, upgrades, and vendor coordination.

• Build and maintain integrations between business systems to remove duplicate data entry and manual handoffs.

• Administer cloud identity and endpoint management platforms, including conditional access, compliance and configuration policy, application deployment, and device lifecycle management.
• Own patching, remote support tooling, hardware refresh planning, and hardware vendor relationships for the endpoint fleet.
• Monitor ticket volume, service levels, and issue trends, and address root causes rather than repeating the same fix.
• Provide technical continuity and decision backup for the IT function when the Senior Manager, Information Technology is unavailable.

Security, Risk & Compliance

• Operate and tune enterprise security tooling across application control, endpoint detection and response, and vulnerability management, and drive remediation to closure.
• Support SOC 2 and internal control requirements, including user access reviews, onboarding and offboarding controls, change management, and audit evidence, and partner with departments on IT general controls and segregation of duties.
• Contribute to phishing triage, security awareness, and incident response.

Automation & Applied AI

• Design and build internal automations and integrations using scripting, workflow automation platforms, and REST APIs.
• Contribute to the company's AI program by evaluating tools, building AI-assisted workflows for business teams, and tracking adoption and results, applying the company's governance standards for data security, access control, output validation, and auditability.

Project & Vendor Management

• Run IT projects end to end, including scope, schedule, budget, risk, stakeholder communication, and post-implementation review.

• Perform other duties and special projects as assigned.

Qualifications

Required

• 7+ years of progressive information technology experience, including at least 3 years at a manager or lead level with direct ownership of enterprise systems or major projects.
• Demonstrated business acumen, with a track record of partnering across departments to understand how the work is actually done and solve process problems with technology, rather than only fulfilling requests.
• Hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 and Entra ID in a production enterprise environment, plus working knowledge of Intune or a comparable mobile device management platform.
