Job Description
As the Engineering Team Lead within the Workplace department, you will play a critical
role in shaping the employee experience for our global teams. You will lead a squad of 3
System Administrators responsible for our core identity and device management
ecosystems (Okta, JumpCloud) within a Google Workspace-first environment.
Beyond technical expertise, your mission is to be a bridge-builder. You will work hand-in-
hand with the Helpdesk to break down operational silos, partner with Application
Management on licensing strategies and support the Campus/PMI teams to ensure
seamless integration of new offices and acquisitions.
Key Responsibilities
1. Team Leadership & Technical Excellence
● Manage & Mentor: Lead, coach and develop a team of 3 Workplace Engineers.
Foster a culture of growth, autonomy and technical curiosity.
● Technical Authority: Champion a tech culture focused on security and best
practices for Identity Access Management (Okta) and MDM (JumpCloud), specifically
within a mixed macOS/Windows and Google Workspace environment.
● Engineering Standards: Design and deliver high-quality, secured, scalable
processes. Ensure best practices in testing, deployment and documentation.
● Performance Monitoring: Define and track KPIs to measure system health and
team efficiency, ensuring data-driven decision-making.
2. Automation & Operational Efficiency

workflows. Your goal is to eliminate repetitive tasks ("Toil") for both your team and
the Helpdesk.
● Workflow Orchestration: Leverage Okta Workflows, Google Apps Script, or API
integrations to streamline User Lifecycle Management (onboarding, offboarding,
attribute syncing).
● Self-Service Tools: Build tools or scripts that empower the Helpdesk to resolve L1
issues autonomously without escalating tickets to the Engineering team.
3. Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Workplace Partnership: Collaborate closely with the Helpdesk Team to create a
unified support chain. Your goal is to empower L2/L3 support through better process
tools and documentation reducing the escalation rate to Engineering. Work alongside
Campus & PMI Teams to standardize IT infrastructure for remote sites and integrate
new entities efficiently.
● Mentoring & Communication : Encourage adoption of Workplace best practices and
architecture changes throughout the company via evangelism and education
● Application Governance: Partner with the Application Management Team to
centralize SaaS license distribution and optimize costs via automated provisioning.
● Global Expansion: Extend visibility beyond the IT department, partnering with
Product, Marketing and other stakeholders to ensure Workplace initiatives support
broader business goals.

automation and scalability.
