About the Role

Payward is seeking an individual to own and integrate productivity and collaboration platforms (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom) across its family of brands, with a strong focus on M&A integration. This is a build-and-own role focused on creating a secure, compliant, and well-run environment for acquired companies.

Responsibilities

  • Drive collaboration-platform integration end-to-end for each acquisition, scoping, planning, executing, and closing out migrations of users, Slack channels, Google Workspace Drive, mailboxes, and configurations from acquired companies into the Payward environment
  • Assess acquired-company collaboration stacks during and after diligence, identifying configurations, security and compliance gaps, and consolidation requirements
  • Rationalize overlapping tools across brands, deciding what migrates, sunsets, or stays, and executing those decisions
  • Build repeatable playbooks, tooling, and automation to streamline future integrations
  • Coordinate cutover timelines and TSA-driven dependencies with Corporate Development, Legal, and acquired teams
  • Own Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom at multi-entity enterprise scale, including architecture, governance, licensing, configuration, and day-to-day operations
  • Build and maintain integrations between collaboration tools and the broader identity and security stack (Okta, Global Relay, eDiscovery tooling, archiving platforms)
  • Define and enforce cross-brand platform governance standards and automate secure practices
  • Collaborate with HRIS and IAM teams to manage clean onboarding and offboarding across platforms and entities
  • Own email security infrastructure across brands, including filtering, quarantine, impersonation defenses, and DMARC/SPF/DKIM hygiene
  • Manage a large, multi-registrar, multi-brand domain portfolio, leading DNS migrations, audits, and consolidation
  • Respond to phishing campaigns, insider threat signals, and anomalous domain activity
  • Lead legal hold management, eDiscovery queries, and data productions across email, Slack, and Google Drive
  • Architect and maintain compliant archiving infrastructure (Global Relay, Smarsh, Virtru)
  • Produce and defend evidence for regulatory and audit obligations, working directly with Legal and Compliance
  • Design and maintain DLP rules, group access controls, and data access policies
  • Lead insider threat reduction initiatives, access revocation, high-risk extension management, and public channel governance
  • Own platform-level incident response, including investigation, containment, and post-incident improvement
  • Evaluate, onboard, consolidate, and sunset SaaS tools across the collaboration and security stack
  • Lead vendor relationships, procurement, and renewals, making build-vs-buy-vs-sunset decisions
  • Build automation to reduce manual toil and improve governance at scale

Requirements

  • 4–6 years of hands-on experience administering Google Workspace and Slack at companies with 1,000+ users, including complex migrations and governance work
  • Demonstrated experience owning or leading a technology migration in an M&A or systems-consolidation context, ideally more than one
  • Solid email security experience: filtering, quarantine, DMARC/SPF/DKIM, impersonation defense, threat response
  • DNS administration and domain portfolio management at meaningful scale
  • Direct experience with compliance and legal workflows, legal holds, eDiscovery, regulatory data productions, and compliant archiving platforms
  • Ability to operate end-to-end: scope, design, execute, and close out solutions cleanly, especially under time pressure
  • Comfort making decisions under ambiguity and defending them with clear reasoning
  • Understanding that clean infrastructure is a security control
  • Ability to work well across functions: Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, Corporate Development, and acquired teams
  • Proactive communication with stakeholders
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent integrations without losing threads
  • Tendency to automate and systematize recurring work, building documentation, tooling, and governance frameworks
  • Takes ownership and fixes issues
  • Experience integrating multiple acquired companies' collaboration stacks into a single parent environment
  • Experience with Global Relay, Smarsh, Virtru, or comparable archiving platforms, including onboarding and architecture decisions
  • Familiarity with Okta and its integration patterns with Google Workspace and Slack
