For IT managers in SaaS environments—whether you're supporting 300 employees or 3,000—the scope of your job has changed drastically. It's no longer just about keeping a few on-prem servers running. Today, you're juggling:
- SaaS management: Managing access and contracts for 100s of SaaS apps, and responsible for SaaS security, cost and compliance.
- Automating through business sprawl: Maintaining workflows that stay ahead of constant changes in apps, roles, departments, and locations.
- Business enablement: Collaborating cross-functionally to improve workflows and drive productivity.
These are the new pillars of modern IT—and your daily to-do list likely reflects it.
What it takes to succeed in modern IT
A "modern IT manager" is someone who:
- Understands SaaS environments: You've got to be fluent in IDPs like Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), and Google, and administrating SaaS apps (such as Asana, Zoom).
- Champions automation & integrations: Manual tasks waste time, so you're always on the lookout for scripts, APIs, or microapps that free up your team.
- Manages people & stakeholders: You're guiding junior admins, supporting HR's onboarding/offboarding needs, collaborating with 10s of teams and departments, and working with finance on tech budgets.
- Keeps security top of mind: Every new SaaS app, device, or process has to pass security muster, all while balancing organization productivity.
Where traditional job listings fail
Even though modern IT roles have become more complex, traditional job boards and aggregators haven't kept up:
- Outdated listings: You'll find postings for "IT Support Techs" whose responsibilities read like they were drafted a decade ago—clearly not keeping up with the modern IT environments.
- Mismatched roles: A simple search for "IT Manager" yields everything from data center operators to project coordinators, cluttered with jobs that don't reflect your actual skill set.
- Poor org filters: Modern skills need organizations that support that culture and often IT opportunities are stuck within legacy systems and practices.
- Lack of context: There's little mention of cloud migrations, SaaS management, or zero-trust frameworks—things you live and breathe every day.
It's no wonder modern IT managers feel frustrated scrolling through listings that don't match their expertise or ambitions.
