Join to apply for the Head of Workplace IT role at Halter .

About the Role

As Halter’s Head of Workplace IT, you’ll own internal IT end‑to‑end as we double headcount across 3+ countries in the next 12 months. You’ll set the strategy, lead a small high‑leveraging team, and ensure people are productive on Day 1 – securely and with minimal friction. You’ll optimise our systems and processes to empower our team to do their best work – unlocking efficiency, no matter where they are in the world. Our core stack is in place; you’ll take it to the next level.

What Your Day Will Look Like

• Own workplace IT systems strategy : develop and deliver an IT roadmap aligned with our growth plans. You’ll play a critical role in unlocking limitations on team efficiency as we scale – going to the root of problems, and not being afraid to pursue novel solutions.
• Lead and grow our IT team : manage, coach and support our existing IT team of one, and shape our IT function to grow with us as we scale.
• Strengthen and scale our foundations : optimise and evolve our existing systems (Okta, Google Workspace, etc) and tackle gaps proactively.
• Level‑up security : develop security practices that balance risk with how we work. Forget playbooks and box‑ticking – we want a thoughtful, practical approach – no bureaucracy and red tape.
• Strategically manage vendors and licensing : strategically assess tooling decisions using Vendorsage, manage spend, and help us get more sophisticated about evaluating new tools without creating barriers.
• Champion adoption and enablement : unlock safe, efficient practices across the business. Lead change‑management efforts that foster engagement and ensure organisation‑wide buy‑in. Embed a culture of self‑service, knowledge sharing, and secure ways of working as a norm, not a chore.
• Innovate and automate : hunt down opportunities to use AI and automation to scale IT support, partner with other teams like Engineering and People Operations to reduce manual tasks and bridge gaps with customer‑facing systems. Bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to how we do internal IT – we’re up for it!
