Director of IT

Join Paperless Parts as the Director of IT and Security, where you'll oversee corporate IT, engineering enablement, and enterprise security. You'll report directly to the CISO and work closely with engineering teams to enhance productivity and security. Your responsibilities will include managing the corporate IT environment, driving efficiency through automation, and ensuring compliance with security controls. You'll also lead the adoption of AI tools across the company and manage the development of an IT team.

• Architect, manage, and enhance the corporate IT environment, ensuring reliability and alignment with business goals.
• Lead the procurement, deployment, and lifecycle management of endpoint and SaaS tooling, driving efficiency through automation.
• Own enterprise security controls, manage the corporate side of the FedRAMP Moderate compliance program, and champion compliance as code.
• This position requires activities that are subject to US Export Control Laws and require US Citizenship or Green Card Holder
• Experience managing and developing early-career IT and security professionals
• Fluency with infrastructure and configuration as code practices (e.g., policy-as-code, automated provisioning, GitOps-style change management)
• 8+ years in IT, security, or a combined role, with at least 3 years in a leadership position
• Experience driving adoption of new tooling or technology across a non-technical or mixed technical/non-technical population, including designing training or enablement programs
• Demonstrated experience scaling IT and/or security at a high-growth company, ideally from startup scale through a significant expansion
• Hands-on familiarity with FedRAMP Moderate, SOC 2, or comparable compliance frameworks
• This is a pivotal hire. We're expanding our IT leadership role to encompass enterprise security, and we're looking for a leader with the technical depth and strategic instincts to grow with that scope
• You default to finding a solution, not delivering a verdict: you dig into the underlying need, do the discovery, and work with the team to find a path that actually works
• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including engineers, executives, and auditors
• You treat security as an enabler, not a gate
• You're genuinely curious about how AI tools can make your team and the broader organization more effective, and you're energized by leading that adoption, not just advising on it
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and can operate with minimal process while also being the person who builds the process
• You think in systems and anticipate second-order effects: you don't just fix what's broken, you design so it doesn't break
• Experience at a SaaS company serving regulated industries (government, defense, or manufacturing)
• Familiarity with FedRAMP Moderate authorization boundaries and the nuances of corporate vs. product scope
• Background that spans both IT operations and security engineering
• Experience specifically with AI tooling adoption or governance
