Director of IT, Security & Infrastructure

Join Taxfix as the Director of Security & IT, where you'll build a platform function from the ground up, driving the transition from IT as a ticket-resolving function to an internal platform product. You'll own the vision and roadmap for Taxfix's internal infrastructure and tooling layer, lead and develop the IT team, set the security strategy, manage supplier relationships, and be the business-facing voice for IT in leadership conversations. This role offers a chance to do meaningful work with an international team, along with numerous benefits including a generous learning budget, flexible working hours, and employee stock options.

• Definir la infraestructura y la base de seguridad que respalde las ambiciones de la empresa.
• Dirigir la transición de IT de una función de resolución de tickets a un producto de plataforma interna.
• Establecer la estrategia de seguridad y la postura de la empresa, integrando la seguridad continuamente en la infraestructura de la plataforma.
• If you want to be the person who defines what modern IT looks like at a company that's genuinely building the future of work — this is that job
• You are ego-light: you are comfortable with invisible success — the best outcome is that teams don't notice IT because everything works — and you are willing to tell leadership when a request isn't feasible and explain why in terms that land
• You have proven experience leading an IT or infrastructure function at a scale-up or regulated tech company — including ownership of core IT operations such as helpdesk, MDM, identity management, and workplace technology. You know what it takes to run these reliably while simultaneously raising the ambition of what the function can be
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and energised by the opportunity to help shape a function that is being designed in real time — you don't wait for a playbook; you help write it
• You bring strong enough technical depth to have credible, substantive conversations with engineers — you can interrogate technical decisions, ask the right questions, and know when to push back
• You have experience with agentic or AI infrastructure, or you bring genuine curiosity and a track record of fast learning in emerging technical domains — this space is moving quickly, and so are we
• You grow the people around you: you see early-career team members and ambitious engineers as people to invest in, and you create the conditions for them to do their best work
• You have managed vendors and external partners, including evaluating and making build/buy/outsource decisions, and you're comfortable owning those relationships end to end
• You are familiar with the compliance and data obligations that come with operating in a regulated environment — financial services, tax, or similar — and you've translated those obligations into practical infrastructure and process decisions
• You are security-literate and have hands-on experience setting security strategy: you understand the threat landscape, have navigated compliance and audit obligations in a regulated environment, and know what good security posture looks like at both the infrastructure and application layer
• You have built or are capable of building a platform mindset in a team that has historically operated as a support function — you understand what that shift requires culturally, structurally, and in terms of how success gets measured
• Not sure if you meet all the requirements for this role? Please apply anyway. You might bring something special to the team that we hadn't considered previously
