IT at Pave keeps the company running — provisioning and securing every employee's access to the tools they need, managing the core platforms (Google Workspace, Okta, Iru) that the whole org depends on, and supporting every team at Pave, from Sales and Marketing to Finance, Legal, People Operations, and R&D, with the technology they need to do their jobs. The IT Manager owns this function day to day: operational stability, security and compliance hygiene, and vendor relationships, while looking for opportunities to bring AI tools and automation into how the team works and how Pave runs its internal operations.
