Job Description

Fortune Media is reinventing how a storied brand, steeped in journalism and business, adapts to today's digital first world. As Fortune completes its transformation from print magazine to multi channel media company, our teams work across editorial, conferences, Fortune Recommends and more, supported by a global workforce spanning New York, London and Asia.

We are looking for a hands on Director of IT to own the technology backbone the company runs on: identity, endpoints, networking, security, collaboration tooling, and office infrastructure. You will lead a team of two and be personally accountable for both day-to-day service quality and the long-term modernisation of how IT operates. This is a working leadership role, reporting to the VP of Engineering. You will be in the systems, not just managing the queue. We are a Microsoft shop, a fixed constraint, not a preference. You will own the following end to end (administration, security, vendor relationship, roadmap):

  • Endpoints & Asset Lifecycle: Jamf, Intune (MDM), laptop builds, hardware asset management

  • Security & Compliance: CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf, Proofpoint/Exchange spam filtering, Microsoft Purview
  • M365 & Google Workspace: Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Forms, Google Workspace administration
  • Collaboration: Zoom, Slack
  • Service Desk: Zendesk
  • Business Applications & Automation: WoodWing, Power Automate, DocuSign, Atlassian, Workday, Adobe Creative Cloud, Claude, Cursor
  • Office Systems & AV: PaperCut, video displays, security cameras, video platforms
Responsibilities
  • Manage, coach and grow a team of two (systems administration and video/AV support)
  • Support offices and remote staff across New York, London and Asia, coordinating across time zones with local vendors and facilities partners
  • Support live and hybrid events, executive meetings, and newsroom broadcast needs
  • Own the IT budget, vendor renewals, license management, and contract negotiation
  • Serve as the single point of accountability for corporate IT, partnering with Engineering, HR, Finance, Legal and Facilities
Required Qualifications
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in IT operations or infrastructure required. 10-12 years, including 2+ years managing people, preferred.
  • Strong Microsoft 365 and Azure AD / Entra ID administration
  • Deep, hands-on networking expertise (LAN/WLAN, VLANs, DNS/DHCP, VPN, firewall policy, multi-site connectivity); this is a hard requirement.
  • Deep, hands-on security expertise (IAM, endpoint security, patch and vulnerability management, MFA/conditional access, incident response); this is a hard requirement.
  • Experience supporting global, distributed offices across time zones
  • Strong communication skills and the judgment to explain risk and tradeoffs to non-technical executives
Preferred Qualifications
  • Scripting or light development skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash, JavaScript)
  • Hands-on experience with Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI-assisted development tools
  • MDM at scale (Jamf and/or Intune) and zero-touch deployment
  • Track record of automating manual IT processes
  • Media, publishing, or live events environment experience
Preferred Qualifications
  • Vendor negotiation and IT budget ownership
  • Relevant certifications (CCNA/CCNP, CISSP, Security+, Microsoft 365/Azure) welcome but not required

Compensation: $150,000- 165,000 base salary plus 10 to 20% discretionary annual bonus

A Few Of Fortune’s Perks And Benefits
