Integration IT Manager

Saronic Technologies•Austin, TX

About The Position

Saronic Technologies is seeking an Integration IT Manager to lead the end-to-end IT integration of newly acquired companies. The role is hands-on and serves as the senior IT presence at acquired sites, assessing existing environments and integrating infrastructure, networks, endpoints, identity, and security tooling into Saronic’s standard environment.

The position covers technical discovery and planning, integration execution, security and compliance alignment, support transition, vendor and contract rationalization, partnership with HQ, and change management. It also maintains reusable integration playbooks, runbooks, and checklists and reports progress, risks, and blockers to IT and corporate development leadership. Travel of 50–75% is expected, including extended on-site assignments and occasional short-notice trips.
