You’ll oversee day‑to‑day IT operations, manage a small internal IT/dev team, and serve as a trusted technical advisor on client projects. You’ll also play a key planning and oversight role as PRPL continues to evolve how it delivers work, incorporating AI tooling, modern web technologies, and scalable processes across our organization.

Maintain IT documentation, access controls, and compliance practices
Client‑Facing Technical Oversight
Serve as a technical advisor and sanity check on client project scopes, architectures, and timelines
Participate in discovery, estimation, and planning for technical engagements—translating client needs into sound technical approaches
Review technical deliverables and provide oversight to ensure quality and consistency across projects
Act as a bridge between PRPL's account and creative teams and the technical realities of execution
Occasional direct client communication on technical matters
What We’re Looking For
Must‑Haves
Proven experience managing IT infrastructure and internal systems (network, SaaS, endpoints, security)
Demonstrated experience in a client‑facing technical role—agency, consulting, or similar environment strongly preferred
Comfortable leading and developing a small team
Fluency across a mixed technology stack—WordPress, custom web applications, and modern frontend frameworks
Strong communication skills; able to translate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders
Based in or able to commute to Orlando, FL up to 3 days/week
Strong Pluses
Hands‑on familiarity with AI tooling—LLMs, AI‑assisted development, or AI‑driven workflow automation
