Corporate IT Lead (Remote – LATAM)
Full-Time | Independent Contractor
About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a growing, fully remote international technology company supporting a distributed workforce across the United States, United Kingdom, South America, and Europe. The company operates in a technology-driven environment where reliable systems, strong security practices, and efficient IT operations are essential to its day-to-day business.
They are looking for an experienced Corporate IT Lead to take ownership of their corporate IT operations, security, compliance, systems governance, and overall employee technology experience.
This is a senior, high-autonomy position combining hands-on operational ownership with strategic responsibility. You will work closely with the SVP of Engineering and other company leaders to identify opportunities for improvement, establish IT strategy, and drive initiatives from planning through implementation.
This is a solo senior individual contributor role, not a people-management position. You will oversee managed service providers (MSPs), specialist contractors, and SaaS vendors rather than build or manage an internal IT department. The ideal candidate knows how to operate independently, exercise sound judgment, and ensure accountability across external technology partners.
The role is approximately 70% operational and 30% strategic.
