Senior IT Specialist

Boston, MA

Later is the enterprise leader in social media and influencer marketing software, services, and data, trusted by leading brands and agencies worldwide. Following our acquisition of Mavely, the Everyday Influencer Platform®, Later enables brands to scale creator partnerships from nano to premium influencers while managing social media content and campaigns across all major social and affiliate networks. Through proprietary performance data, marketing leaders can drive attributable sales and optimize social commerce with our software platform or award-winning services. 

Later is founded on two success stories that began in 2014: Mavrck, the industry-leading influencer marketing solution (now Later Influence™), and Later, the best social media management platform (now Later Social™) and first-to-market link in bio tool, Later Link in Bio. In 2024, Mavrck and Later officially joined together as one unified business, with a shared vision: to enable the world to make a living with their creativity.

We’re trusted by the top social platforms, with partnerships and integrations with Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.

We enable marketers to create high-performing content and engage in authentic collaborations with creators to reach new audiences, drive engagement, and generate predictable ROI. 

About this position:

We’re looking for a proactive, systems-minded Senior IT Professional to lead and modernize our internal technology operations. You’ll drive the strategy and execution behind company-wide IT initiatives — spanning device lifecycle management, SaaS governance, identity and access management, and infrastructure reliability.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of technology, security, and scalability. You’ll combine hands-on technical expertise with strong process leadership to ensure Later’s systems are secure, compliant, and built to scale with the business.

What you'll be doing:

  • Lead IT planning and prioritization across hardware, SaaS applications, and access management systems.

  • Drive continuous improvement through Agile or Kanban methodologies, ensuring visibility, velocity, and impact.

  • Develop and maintain IT policies, standards, and playbooks that improve reliability, security, and employee experience.

Technical/ Execution

  • Own and optimize Google Workspace, including Gmail configuration, routing, and permissions management; experience running scripts or using GAM strongly preferred.

  • Deploy, configure, and manage Microsoft Intune for device enrollment, policy enforcement, and compliance automation across macOS and Windows.

  • Administer identity and access management systems, including Google SSO (experience with Okta a strong plus).

  • Build and maintain automation scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to streamline onboarding, offboarding, and repetitive tasks.

  • Strengthen IT asset management programs, ensuring accurate lifecycle tracking of all hardware, software, and licenses.

  • Implement and monitor compliance controls supporting SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness.

  • Collaborate with Security and DevOps on audits, vulnerability management, and incident response.

Team / Collaboration

  • Partner with Engineering, Security, HR, and Finance to align IT systems with operational and compliance goals.

  • Document key workflows, processes, and configurations in Notion to maintain clarity and transparency.

  • Mentor IT peers, share best practices, and contribute to a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

  • Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to align priorities and reduce friction.

Research/Best Practices

  • Stay ahead of industry trends in device management, SaaS optimization, and zero-trust security.

  • Evaluate and recommend new tools and platforms that improve automation, compliance, and employee experience.

  • Participate in audits, tabletop exercises, and IT maturity reviews to enhance company readiness.

What success looks like:

  • IT systems are secure, scalable, and well-documented.

  • Google Workspace and Intune environments are fully optimized and policy-driven.

  • Access management is automated, auditable, and compliant with SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

  • Projects are delivered on time with clear progress tracking through Agile/Kanban workflows.

  • The IT function is recognized as a trusted, proactive partner to all teams.

What you bring:

  • 5+ years of experience in IT administration or systems engineering in a modern, cloud-based organization.

  • Deep expertise with Google Workspace (Gmail routing, permissions, automation).

  • Strong experience with Microsoft Intune (policy creation, compliance management, and device security).

  • Proficiency in SSO and identity management tools (Google Identity, Okta, or similar).

  • Understanding of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance frameworks and controls.

  • Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell).

  • Working knowledge of networking fundamentals, endpoint protection, and incident response.

  • Experience managing IT projects via Agile or Kanban methodologies.

  • Excellent communication, organization, and documentation skills.

  • Collaborative, detail-oriented mindset with a focus on ownership and reliability.

How you work: 

  • Driven by Impact: You deliver results that matter—prioritizing high-value work, meeting deadlines, and adapting quickly while keeping outcomes clear.
  • Strategic & Customer-Centric: You anticipate risks and opportunities, connect decisions to long-term growth, and build trust through proactive insights.
  • Curious & Growth-Oriented: You seek knowledge, ask sharp questions, and apply learnings fast—challenging the status quo with a mindset of improvement.
  • Collaborative & Resilient: You thrive in change by staying resourceful, solution-focused, and positive—removing roadblocks, sharing insights, and keeping morale high.
  • Accountable & Honest: You own your work, hold yourself and others to a high bar, and use transparent feedback to drive growth.
  • Emotionally Intelligent: You build trust through empathy and collaboration, foster inclusion, and inspire others with grit, optimism, and integrity.

Our approach to compensation:

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
