IT Manager

About Us

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response. Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective.

Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters.

About this Role

As Sage’s first internal IT Manager, you will build the foundation that powers every employee, system, and workflow across the company. This is a rare opportunity to shape IT from the ground up-designing the processes, tools, and standards that will scale with us as we grow. You’ll own everything from device management and access controls to SaaS administration, internal support, and office infrastructure, ensuring our team has a seamless, secure, and reliable environment to do their best work.

This role is highly cross-functional: you’ll partner closely with People, Operations, Security Engineering, and company leadership to introduce scalable systems, strengthen documentation, streamline onboarding and off-boarding, and improve the day-to-day technology experience for every Sage employee. If you’re someone who enjoys autonomy, thrives in early-stage environments, and wants to see the direct impact of your work across an entire organization, this is a chance to build a modern, security-first IT ecosystem from scratch. You’ll play a foundational role in supporting our mission and setting the standard for how Sage operates as we expand.
