Senior IT Manager

Fieldtrip is a group of creative growth agencies, led by inBeat , that connects enterprise brands with the creators and communities who move their audiences. We run performance-driven paid media and micro-influencer campaigns for more than 250 brands — powered by a distributed team of roughly 200 people across 15+ countries, and a stack of tools that has scaled faster than the function that supports it.

We are a remote-first, contractor-heavy, data-led agency group. We move quickly, we ship real work for real clients, and we care about the infrastructure behind the work as much as the work itself.

This is the first dedicated IT leadership role across the portfolio. You are not inheriting a function. You are building one.

You will own IT end-to-end for ~200 people across 5+ agencies: the tools, the identity layer, the vendor stack, the BYOD posture, and the baseline cybersecurity and compliance that unblocks enterprise client deals. Daily support volume is low, around two access requests a day. This is not a helpdesk job. It is a builder's job with a clear growth track toward leadership.

You will partner with the COO, the founders, and the operations team to design an IT function that scales with future acquisitions and gets Fieldtrip ready for SOC 2 Type II and GDPR-grade governance without bloating the team or the budget.

Own the IT function end-to-end. Systems, identity, access, onboarding, offboarding, tooling, and vendor relationships across every portfolio company.

Design for BYOD and distributed teams. Build a security posture that works for personal devices, contractor workflows, and cross-border data realities.

Rationalise the stack. Kill shadow IT, consolidate overlapping SaaS tools, and deliver visible monthly savings on platforms like Figma, Notion, Airtable, Adobe Suite and their cousins.
