IT Service Manager

The Opportunity:

Data privacy has become one of the most strategic challenges facing modern enterprises, sitting at the intersection of AI governance, data operations, and customer trust. As companies adopt AI at scale, they need new ways to automate privacy and manage risk without slowing innovation. Data Grail has launched the first agentic privacy platform, and we're entering a pivotal phase of growth as we scale toward the next stage of the business.

As an IT & Business Systems Manager, you'll independently own IT and Business Systems for Data Grail, including endpoints, applications, and day-to-day operations for our team — operating with significant autonomy and shaping how the function runs, Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you'll be the face of technology for Data Grail's employees, the first call when something breaks, and the person building the automated, self-service systems that let the company scale without scaling manual support.

You'll partner closely with Security to build the controls Data Grail needs for ISO compliance, with real ownership over how this function evolves — and you'll extend the security engineering function's execution capacity, partnering hands-on across day-to-day security work streams rather than simply implementing controls handed down from Security.

This is a chance to take a function in transition and build it into something modern: moving IT from reactive support to an automated, self-service operation, partnering directly with Security on ISO compliance, and growing the scope of the role as Data Grail scales.

• Proven, senior-level experience independently owning a distributed, remote-first IT environment at a company Data Grail's size — spanning endpoints, identity, and business applications, with full accountability for the function rather than execution against someone else's roadmap.
• A track record of operating with high autonomy — setting direction for the function, making judgment calls independently, and being trusted with minimal day-to-day oversight.
