Our clients have raised over $5B in aggregate and are backed by companies like OpenAI, a16z, and Founders Fund.

Why Work with Us?
At Pearl, we’re not just another recruiting firm—we connect you with exceptional opportunities to work alongside visionary US and EU founders. Our focus is on placing you in roles where you can grow, be challenged, and build long-term, meaningful careers.
About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing AI-focused technology company that is scaling rapidly and building out the infrastructure to match. They are committed to strong internal IT practices, including device management, compliance, and scalable onboarding workflows. The team is highly collaborative, fast-moving, and looking for an IT professional to own their internal IT ecosystem.
Role Overview
You will serve as the primary internal IT resource, responsible for building and managing the company’s IT systems from the ground up. Your mandate includes device management, onboarding/offboarding, integrations, automation, and compliance management. This is not a support ticket role—this is a systems ownership role.
The ideal candidate is proactive, technically skilled across Apple and Microsoft ecosystems, detail-oriented, and thrives in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. You will work directly with operations leadership and coordinate with an external IT consultancy as needed, but you are the internal owner of all IT systems.
Your Impact
You will play a critical role in elevating the quality and effectiveness of video content across campaigns and brand initiatives. Your work will directly influence audience engagement, brand perception, and campaign performance through compelling storytelling and polished execution. By improving production efficiency and maintaining high creative standards, you will help deliver consistent, high-impact multimedia outputs. You will also contribute to stronger collaboration across creative and marketing teams, ensuring projects are delivered on time and aligned with brand objectives.
