About Ctrl Alt
We’re building a high-performance, people-first culture where ambitious individuals can thrive. We move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high bar, while keeping things collaborative, open and genuinely fun. At Ctrl Alt ideas win on merit, teams work closely with leadership, and everyone has a voice in shaping what we build next.
We believe that hard work should come with real reward. You won’t just join a company - you’ll help build one. Last year alone, we grew from 17 to 50 people, and this year we’re going faster and further. That means real responsibility, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that’s redefining the future of finance through the tokenization of alternative assets.

What's Involved
The Technical Operations Manager will serve as the operational backbone of the Office of the CTO, ensuring that our technical infrastructure, cybersecurity and compliance posture remain world-class. You will own the intersection of IT logistics and regulatory alignment, specifically managing our journey through ISO27001 and DORA frameworks. From the day-to-day lifecycle of hardware – ensuring every team member is equipped and off-boarded seamlessly – to the high-level coordination of security audits, you are the guardian of our operational standards. This role is not about writing code, but about building the systems that allow our engineers to work securely and efficiently. You will be the primary point of contact for cross-departmental alignment, translating complex compliance requirements into actionable internal processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Governance & Compliance: Act as the project lead for GRC initiatives, ensuring all technical processes align with ISO27001 and the DORA framework.
- IT Lifecycle Management: Own the end-to-end procurement, provisioning, and recovery of hardware (laptops, peripherals) and software licenses.
- Audit Readiness: Maintain rigorous documentation and evidence logs to ensure the organization is always "audit-ready" for security certifications.
- Vendor Management: Manage relationships with IT vendors and service providers to ensure cost-effectiveness and service quality.
- Process Optimization: Design and implement "light-touch" operational workflows that improve security without slowing down the engineering team.
Requirements
Must Haves
- Experience: 3+ years in IT Operations, Technical Project Management, or a GRC-focused role.
- Framework Fluency: Practical understanding of ISO27001; familiarity with DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is a significant plus.
- Tooling: Experience with MDM (Mobile Device Management) solutions and a strong technical grounding
- Soft Skills: High level of organization, agency, and a "get it done" attitude, and the ability to communicate technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Haves
- Experience working in a regulated environment.
- Project management skills and qualifications within the IT sector
