Role Overview

ClarityPay is seeking a Manager of IT & Information Security to build and run the technology backbone of the company. This is our dedicated IT and security hire, and it is a hands-on, build-it-yourself role: you will personally provision laptops, administer our SaaS stack, grant and revoke access, and answer the help request — while also standing up the policies, controls, and vendor relationships a regulated fintech needs as it scales. You will own corporate IT, identity and access management, endpoint and email security, incident response, and business systems administration, and you will be the internal owner of the evidence and controls that support our SOC 2, PCI DSS, and partner-bank security reviews. Today this work is spread across the executive team; your first mandate is to consolidate it, document it, and make it reliable. This is an on-site role based in our New York office, with a minimum of four days per week in the office. This role collaborates closely with Engineering, Data, Operations, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Finance, and People, and offers a clear path to grow into leading a small team as the company scales.

• Own identity and access management: provision and de-provision accounts, administer SSO and MFA, enforce least-privilege and role-based access, and run periodic access reviews with documented evidence.
• Administer the corporate SaaS and business systems stack (e.g., Microsoft 365 and email, Slack, Retool, HRIS, e-signature, and the productivity and AI tools employees rely on), including configuration, integrations, and license and spend management. Production and cloud infrastructure remain owned by Engineering; you partner with them on shared controls.
• Create, secure, and manage corporate email — accounts, distribution lists, aliases, shared mailboxes, domain records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and anti-phishing and data-loss controls.
• Own endpoint security: MDM enrollment, disk encryption, pa

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to explain technical risk and trade-offs to a non-technical executive audience.
• Comfortable leveraging AI tools and emerging technologies to improve productivity, analysis, and decision-making.
• Able to work independently following established guidelines, exercise sound judgment under pressure, and respond to urgent issues outside standard business hours when needed.
