About The Position

exacare ai is hiring an IT Manager to establish and lead the IT function supporting our Toronto office. This is the company's first dedicated IT hire and a foundational role within the organization. exacare ai's IT environment, which includes device management, core business systems, office network infrastructure and physical security, is currently administered informally across the Operations and People teams. The IT Manager will assume full ownership of this environment and establish the standards, workflows and support model required to operate it effectively at scale. This includes determining the appropriate service delivery model, up to and including whether a formal ticketing system is introduced. The IT Manager will be based in Toronto and work from our office three days per week, supporting a local employee population of approximately 50 to 100 people. exacare ai is scaling toward 150 employees across New York, Toronto and Vancouver, and the successful candidate will be responsible for building an IT function capable of supporting that growth. This role is well suited to an experienced IT professional who has owned the full technology surface at a single organization, spanning endpoints, identity, network and end-user support, and who is comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy. The successful candidate will define this function rather than inherit an established one, and will be expected to identify priorities and recommend solutions independently.
