Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Build and own the productivity and collaboration platforms, Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom, across the Payward family of brands, with a focus on M&A integration.
• Drive collaboration-platform integration end-to-end for each acquisition, scoping, planning, executing, and closing out migrations of users, Slack channels, Google Workspace Drive, mailboxes, and configurations from acquired companies into the Payward environment.
• Assess acquired-company collaboration stacks during and after diligence: what they run, how it's configured, what the security and compliance gaps are, and what it takes to consolidate.
• Rationalize overlapping tools across brands, decide what migrates, what sunsets, and what stays, and see those calls through.
• Build repeatable playbooks, tooling, and automation so each successive integration is faster and cleaner than the last.
• Coordinate cutover timelines and TSA-driven dependencies with Corporate Development, Legal, and the acquired teams.
• Own Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom at multi-entity enterprise scale, architecture, governance, licensing, configuration, and day-to-day operations across the brand portfolio.
• Build and maintain integrations between collaboration tools and the broader identity and security stack (Okta, Global Relay, eDiscovery tooling, archiving platforms).
• Define and enforce cross-brand platform governance standards; build automation that makes the secure path the easy path.
• Collaborate with HRIS and IAM teams to manage clean onboarding and offboarding across platforms and entities.
• Own email security infrastructure across brands, filtering, quarantine, impersonation defenses, and DMARC/SPF/DKIM hygiene, and raise the bar as new entities and threats arrive.
• Manage a large, multi-registrar, multi-brand domain portfolio (Cloudflare, MarkMonitor, and others); lead DNS migrations, audits, and consolidation as brands come in.
• Respond to phishing campaigns, insider threat signals, and anomalous domain activity with speed and precision.
• Lead legal hold management, eDiscovery queries, and data productions across email, Slack, and Google Drive, across multiple entities.
• Architect and maintain compliant archiving infrastructure (Global Relay, Smarsh, Virtru) as new businesses are onboarded and legacy ones sunset.
• Produce and defend evidence for regulatory and audit obligations (17a-4, ISO, external auditors), working directly with Legal and Compliance.
• Design and maintain DLP rules, group access controls, and data access policies across collaboration platforms and entities.
• Lead insider threat reduction initiatives, access revocation, high-risk extension management, public channel governance, during and after integrations, when risk is highest.
• Own platform-level incident response: investigation, containment, and post-incident improvement.
• Evaluate, onboard, consolidate, and sunset SaaS tools across the collaboration and security stack as the portfolio grows.
• Lead vendor relationships, procurement, and renewals; make build-vs-buy-vs-sunset calls and see them through.
• Build automation that reduces manual toil and improves governance at scale.

🎯 Requirements

• 4–6 years of hands-on experience administering Google Workspace and Slack at companies with 1,000+ users, including complex migrations and governance work.
• Demonstrated experience owning or leading a technology migration in an M&A or systems-consolidation context, ideally more than one.
• Solid email security experience: filtering, quarantine, DMARC/SPF/DKIM, impersonation defense, threat response.
• DNS administration and domain portfolio management at meaningful scale.
• Direct experience with compliance and legal workflows, legal holds, eDiscovery, regulatory data productions, and compliant archiving platforms.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunity to work with a fast-growing company in the fintech industry.
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
• Professional development and growth opportunities.
• Flexible working hours and remote work options.
