London

Engineering – Technology Operations and Enablement /

International Full Time Employee /

On-site

Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

About Samba TV

Samba TV tracks streaming and broadcast video across the world with our proprietary data and technology. We are on a mission to fundamentally transform the viewing experience for everyone. Our data enables media companies to connect with audiences for new shows and movies, and enables advertisers to engage viewers and measure reach across all their devices. We have an amazing story with a unique perspective on culture formed by a global footprint of data and AI-driven insights.

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated IT Operations Manager (IC) to serve as the London site lead office. This role is designed for an experienced IT professional who can independently manage the full scope of corporate IT at their assigned locations — from end-user support and device management to identity and access management, office infrastructure, and security compliance. The IT Operations Manager will serve as a subject matter expert across multiple IT disciplines without direct team management responsibilities, operating autonomously day-to-day with strategic direction from the VP of Technology Operations.

You will be the single point of ownership for all things IT at your sites. If an employee needs a laptop on day one, a conference room AV system fixed, an Okta access issue resolved, or audit evidence gathered — that’s you. This role is ideal for a versatile IT professional who thrives on variety, takes pride in full ownership, and wants to be the person who keeps an entire office running smoothly.

Key Responsibilities

System Administration & End-User Support

Serve as the primary IT contact for all employees at assigned West Coast office locations
Maintain, monitor, and manage IT infrastructure including end-user devices, office networks, SaaS services, and AV systems
Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and connectivity issues with a focus on rapid resolution and high system availability
Manage IT helpdesk tickets, ensuring issues are prioritized, tracked, and resolved within SLA targets
Build and maintain a local knowledge base and self-service resources to empower users and reduce repeat requests

Device Management & Procurement

Own the full device lifecycle: procurement, imaging, deployment, maintenance, and decommissioning for Mac and PC environments
Manage MDM platforms (Jamf, Intune, or similar) including device enrollment, policy enforcement, app deployment, and compliance monitoring
Coordinate hardware procurement with vendors, managing orders, inventory tracking, and asset management
Oversee hardware and software asset management, maintaining accurate records and ensuring devices meet organizational standards

Employee Onboarding & Offboarding

Execute the full IT onboarding workflow for new hires: account creation, device provisioning, application access, and day-one readiness
Manage IT offboarding processes including account deactivation, access revocation, device collection, and data handling
Continuously refine onboarding and offboarding workflows to improve efficiency and employee experience
Collaborate with HR, Finance, and hiring managers to ensure seamless technology transitions

Identity & Access Management

Administer Okta (or equivalent IdP) including user provisioning, SSO configurations, MFA enforcement, and group/policy management
Process access requests, role changes, and entitlement reviews in alignment with security policies
Implement and maintain security measures across the identity stack, monitoring for vulnerabilities and responding to incidents
Troubleshoot authentication and authorization issues across the SaaS application stack

Office Infrastructure & AV

Manage and maintain office network infrastructure including Wi-Fi, switches, and local connectivity
Own conference room AV systems: setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades
Coordinate with building management and ISPs for connectivity issues and office moves
Ensure office technology environments are reliable, secure, and support hybrid work requirements

Security & Compliance

Participate in ISO audit processes including evidence gathering, controls documentation, and audit walkthroughs
Enforce endpoint security policies through MDM and ensure devices meet compliance standards
Support vulnerability management and patch compliance at the endpoint level
Establish and maintain IT policies, procedures, and best practices to improve operational efficiency and security posture
Escalate security incidents appropriately and assist with incident response as needed

Vendor & Partner Management

Engage with external vendors for hardware, software, and services procurement
Manage vendor relationships to ensure quality service delivery and cost-effectiveness
Oversee contract renewals, maintenance agreements, and software licensing
Evaluate new tools and technologies that could improve IT service delivery at your sites

Project Management & Cross-Functional Support

Lead and execute IT projects at your sites, including system upgrades, office buildouts, and technology rollouts
Define project scope, timelines, deliverables, and resource requirements for site-level initiatives
Collaborate with other departments such as HR, Finance, and Operations to ensure alignment on technology needs and implementations
Provide input into long-term IT strategy and roadmap development based on site-level observations and needs

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
5+ years of experience in IT system administration, IT operations, or a similar multi-discipline IT role
Proven ability to independently manage corporate IT across multiple disciplines in a fast-paced technology environment
Strong hands-on experience with macOS and Windows endpoint management in enterprise environments
Proficiency with MDM platforms (Jamf, Intune, Kandji, or similar) including policy configuration, app deployment, and compliance enforcement
Experience administering identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, or similar) including SSO, MFA, and user lifecycle management
Working knowledge of networking fundamentals: Wi-Fi, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, and basic firewall concepts
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting technology teams in AdTech, MarTech, or data-driven industries
Relevant certifications (Apple Certified Support Professional, Jamf Certified, Okta Certified Professional, CompTIA, ITIL)
Experience with IT service management tools (Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, Freshservice, or similar)
Comfort with scripting and automation to streamline repetitive IT tasks (Bash, PowerShell, Python, or similar)
Experience with AV/conference room technology setup and support
Experience supporting distributed, international teams across multiple time zones
Familiarity with cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) in a supporting capacity
Background scaling IT operations during rapid company growth phases
Experience supporting ISO, SOC 2, or similar compliance frameworks in an IT capacity
Knowledge of cybersecurity principles, including endpoint encryption, patch management, and data protection

Cultural Fit

Tenacious & Zealous: You take ownership of your sites and take pride in keeping everything running smoothly. No problem is someone else’s problem.
Courageous Voice: You advocate for the right technology decisions and raise concerns early, regardless of hierarchy.
Simplify Complexity: You have the ability to manage complex IT environments but always seek the simplest, most maintainable solution.
Fast Learner: Technology changes constantly and you stay current, adapting quickly to new tools and platforms.
Humble & Grateful: No task is too small. You’ll image a laptop, crawl under a desk to fix a cable, and present to leadership in the same day.
