Full Time Remote It Manager Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

The IT Manager at inKind is responsible for building, operating, and continuously improving our internal IT environment to support a fast-growing, late-stage startup. This role blends hands-on technical execution with people and vendor management to ensure employees have reliable, secure, and well-supported technology.

You will own day-to-day IT operations across corporate infrastructure, identity and access management, endpoint management, SaaS tooling, help desk support, and lightweight office network administration. You will also support employees with secure remote access solutions, including Tailscale, while partnering closely with the Platform Engineering team, which owns network architecture, ACLs, and mesh policy. As the company scales, you'll help define processes, policies, and systems that improve reliability, security, and employee experience, while remaining close to the work yourself.

This is a highly collaborative role that works across all departments to ensure technology enables productivity rather than becoming a bottleneck.
