Job Title: IT Manager Team: Administration/IT Location: Onsite - Sawtelle (Between Santa Monica & West LA) Employment Type: Full-time, Salary, Exempt Reports To: VP, Finance

About Plug Plug is the marketplace for used electric vehicles. Consumers get an instant cash offer backed by battery-health data, and dealers across the US bid in real time on that inventory. Former Tesla executives founded Plug in 2023. We’ve facilitated over $150M in EV sales and raised a $20M Series A led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

Why Plug

- You’ll own a piece of the biggest infrastructure opportunity in automotive.

- You’ll work on a platform built exclusively for EVs, with nothing adapted from legacy automotive.

- You’ll be part of an AI-native company. We’re rethinking how work gets done at a fundamental level.

- You’ll work directly with operators who have scaled multi-billion dollar businesses in automotive, EV, and marketplaces.

- You’ll have real ownership, high autonomy, and a direct line to company outcomes.

The Role We’re about 40 people and growing, and we need someone to own IT end to end. You’ll keep our people productive and our systems secure: getting new hires set up on day one, removing access the day someone leaves, and turning how we run IT into clear, written processes. As a fintech company, our banking and lending partners hold us to a high security bar, and you’ll help us meet it.

What You’ll Do

- Provide first-line support for IT issues across the company.

- Run onboarding and offboarding with HR. Laptops, accounts, and app access are ready on day one. Revoke accounts and collect equipment on the last day.

- Administer Google Workspace and Rippling, including user accounts, groups, app provisioning, and device management.

- Set and enforce security controls: MFA and SSO, device encryption and updates, password management, and least-privilege access.

- Audit accounts, access, licenses, and permissions on a set schedule. Remove what’s no longer used.

- Write and maintain the IT SOPs. Follow them consistently.

- Manage IT vendors and SaaS tools. Track usage, renewals, and spend.

- Answer security questionnaires and audits from our banking and lending partners.

- Manage laptop and equipment inventory, plus conference room and AV equipment.

What You’ll Bring

Minimum Qualifications

- 3+ years in IT support or systems administration.

- You’ve owned IT as the primary person responsible for a company’s IT, with or without a team.

- Hands-on Google Workspace administration: user accounts, groups, and app provisioning.

- Hands-on experience with MFA and SSO. You’ve set them up, enforced them, or managed access through them.

- Working knowledge of endpoint management and access control.

- Hands-on support for macOS and Windows.

- Examples of IT processes or SOPs you’ve written and maintained.

Nice to Have

- Experience with Rippling or a similar HRIS or device management platform.

- Startup or small-company experience.

- Scripting or automation for repetitive IT work, such as onboarding, offboarding, or access reviews.

- Networking basics and conference room AV experience.

- Experience with SOC 2 or a similar security audit.
