Head of IT at whatnot

This leadership role is designed for a seasoned IT veteran with over 10 years of experience, specifically within high-growth, remote-first tech environments. You should be an expert in scaling global IT operations from the ground up, with 8+ years spent managing high-performing teams. The ideal candidate has deep technical fluency in enterprise application architecture (ERP, HRIS, CRM) and knows how to balance service excellence with ironclad security and compliance. The compensation is highly competitive, offering **$230k–$270k base salary** plus equity and a 4% 401k match. While the role is "fully remote," it follows a "remote co-located" model requiring residency near hubs in **NYC, Seattle, LA, or SF** for occasional in-person planning. Standout perks include a "dogfooding" budget to shop on the app, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, and generous home office/wellness allowances. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have successfully led IT through a rapid scale-up phase or IPO-readiness (SOX compliance). * Are an expert in the modern SaaS stack, including **NetSuite, Workday, Salesforce, and Okta**. * Can build a "user-first" service culture while managing complex global vendor relationships. * Thrive in "low ego" environments where you lean into action and move fast.
