Director of Information Technology
Director of Information Technology (Onsite | FREE AI Certification)
Cebu City, Philippines | 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM PHT | Monday to Friday
GoTeam is growing fast, and we need an IT leader to build the system behind it. We want a Director who makes sure every system has an owner, every contract has a renewal date, every request is closed with the user's confirmation, and every device and access right is controlled from a person's first day to their last. You'll lead security, service, devices, infrastructure and IT spend across a 1,000+ endpoint, multi-site operation that supports US and Australian clients.
This is a build role, not a maintain role. You'll own our information security management system (ISMS) and lead the company to SOC 2 Type I. You'll also be product owner for a set of AI-driven IT automation projects, where AI does the watching and people do the deciding. You'll report directly to the President, work on-site at our Cebu office for the first six months, and then move to a hybrid arrangement under our director-level work protocol.
YOU'RE LIKELY A STRONG FIT IF YOU HAVE
10+ years in IT, including 5+ years leading an IT function for a multi-site organization with 1,000+ endpoints
Hands-on experience implementing an ISMS and taking an organization through a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit, not only maintaining one
Deep Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune and Autopilot experience, including device compliance and conditional access at fleet scale
A track record running an ITIL-style service desk with SLAs, closure rules and problem management
Ownership of IT vendors, contracts and budgets, including renewal negotiation and total-cost reviews
Working knowledge of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC breach-notification rules
A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering or a related field
Willingness to undergo an enhanced background check (NBI clearance and references), since the role carries privileged access
STRONG SIGNALS
BPO, shared services or outsourcing industry background
CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, ITIL 4, or Microsoft security certifications
Product owner experience for internal automation or AI tooling, and practical fluency with LLM-based agents
Experience with Absolute (or similar endpoint persistence tools), NinjaOne (or a similar RMM), and Vanta, Drata or similar compliance platforms
Experience supporting US and Australian client security reviews
RESPONSIBILITY PILLARS
Security, Compliance & ISMS
You own the company's security posture and its path to certification.
Build and run the ISMS: scope, information security policy, topic policies, risk register, Statement of Applicability and evidence library
Lead SOC 2 Type I readiness, including the readiness assessment, penetration test, internal audit and management review
Own the incident response plan, credential vault and break-glass account controls, and support the DPO on breach-notification decisions
Answer client and insurer security questionnaires from evidence, and sign them
Service Desk, Devices & Infrastructure
You make sure every request gets closed and every device is accounted for.
Set the service desk's SLAs, routing, closure rules and problem management, and publish the core SOPs and runbooks for client-managed environments
Own the laptop replacement policy, the single asset register, and full device control through Intune, Autopilot and Absolute, including country lock and travel policy
Own joiner–mover–leaver access with People & Culture, with leaver access removed within 24 hours and quarterly access reviews
Approve infrastructure changes, keep backups tested, and own office failover and the work-from-home continuity standard
Vendors, Budget & IT Automation
You make sure there are no surprises, no lapses and no waste, and you use AI to find problems early.
Own the IT contract register and renewal briefs, and build and manage the annual IT budget against actuals
Act as product owner for AI-driven IT automation projects built with our Product & Development team: backlog, rules, accuracy gates and adoption
Present a weekly IT exception report to leadership, plus monthly scorecards and quarterly assurance reviews
Lead and coach the IT leads, shape the team structure, and plan day, night and US-hours on-call coverage
