About the role

ASG is looking for an IT Security Director to own and modernize HoldCo's internal IT and security environment. This is a hands-on individual contributor role at the intersection of IT operations, security, automation, and AI. You'll run our core enterprise systems, build practical controls that help the business move faster, and ensure employees feel well supported.

Responsibilities

• Own HoldCo's core technology environment across Google Workspace, device management, identity management, enterprise SaaS, security tooling, and AI tooling.
• Build practical security controls that let teams deploy new SaaS, AI, and internal solutions quickly while appropriately managing risk.
• Run the user and device lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, access changes, endpoint management, and administration of core systems.
• Monitor escalations from our 24/7 SOC, surface material issues quickly, and partner with the CISO when an issue requires incident response.
• Partner with AI Governance to operationalize policies and guardrails, surface emerging policy questions, and support safe adoption of enterprise AI tools.
• Use lightweight automation, scripting, and integrations to remove repetitive work and occasionally help portfolio companies deploy enterprise tooling.

Requirements

• Deep hands-on experience operating modern IT environments and comfort personally configuring, troubleshooting, and improving the systems you own.
• Experience administering Google Workspace, device management, identity and access management, enterprise SaaS, and endpoint or security tooling.
• Security mindset as a builder, not a gatekeeper—creating practical guardrails that protect the business while enabling teams to move quickly.
• High fluency with modern enterprise AI tools, active use of AI in your own work, and understanding of security and governance considerations around deployment.
• Ability to use lightweight scripting, APIs, workflow automation, and SaaS-native integrations to solve operational problems without being a software engineer.
• Experience working in small, scrappy environments where you owned a broad technology surface area and reduced reliance on outside providers.
• Clear communication across technical and non-technical audiences, making employees feel supported while setting sensible standards and boundaries.
• Proactive, solution-oriented, problem-solving mindset—"I'll figure it out"—and thrive in a small, fast-paced, results-oriented environment.
