Emergence is a venture capital firm that focuses on investing in early- and growth-stage enterprise software and cloud/SaaS companies. It partners with founders building B2B platforms and services, providing capital and operational support to help scale businesses in the enterprise software space.

📋 Description

• Build the portfolio IT function from the ground up, serving as the primary owner of IT across our holding company and portfolio companies. • Run the IT workstream for every acquisition: inventory the stack, map access, stand up accounts and devices, wire the company into Emergence systems. • Build the Day 1-100 integration playbook this function currently lacks, then run it at roughly three closes a quarter. • Build and operate the joiner/mover/leaver standard across the portfolio, including offboarding completeness. • Operate the identity platform after selection and rollout (selection is in-flight, informed by a portfolio audit underway). • Own the living inventory of tools, accounts, admin credentials, licenses, and renewal dates that every consolidation and security decision depends on. • Manage the MSP relationship and SLA for portfolio companies that consume central IT delivery. • Own vendor contracts, renewals, license consolidation, and portfolio volume pricing. • Build the back-end connections that feed our cross-portfolio data platform.

🎯 Requirements

• 6-10 years in hands-on IT operations, systems administration, or MSP/consulting delivery, with at least 3 in an IT leadership role • Experience running IT across multiple companies, clients, or business units at once — not a single-company environment, however well run • Experience owning the IT workstream of an acquisition — due diligence, Day 1 readiness, and post-close systems rationalization and migration • Deep understanding of tradeoffs between centralized and decentralized IT delivery; you are a vocal advocate for what works well and what doesn’t • Fluent in identity and access operations (Okta, Entra, JumpCloud, or similar): SSO, provisioning, lifecycle workflows • Comfortable walking into a company with no documentation and systematically mapping what exists • Strong vendor and license management instincts: contracts, renewals, SLAs, consolidation • You build the playbook rather than execute one handed to you • Excellent business stakeholder management skills - you can professionally engage at all levels of the organization.

🏖️ Benefits

• We offer competitive compensation and a full benefits package.
