Later is the enterprise leader in social media and influencer marketing software, services, and data, trusted by leading brands and agencies worldwide. Following our acquisition of Mavely, the Everyday Influencer Platform®, Later enables brands to scale creator partnerships from nano to premium influencers while managing social media content and campaigns across all major social and affiliate networks. Through proprietary performance data, marketing leaders can drive attributable sales and optimize social commerce with our software platform or award-winning services. 

Later is founded on two success stories that began in 2014: Mavrck, the industry-leading influencer marketing solution (now Later Influence™), and Later, the best social media management platform (now Later Social™) and first-to-market link in bio tool, Later Link in Bio. In 2024, Mavrck and Later officially joined together as one unified business, with a shared vision: to enable the world to make a living with their creativity.

We’re trusted by the top social platforms, with partnerships and integrations with Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.

We enable marketers to create high-performing content and engage in authentic collaborations with creators to reach new audiences, drive engagement, and generate predictable ROI.

  • Deploy, configure, and manage Microsoft Intune for device enrollment, policy enforcement, and compliance automation across macOS and Windows.

  • Administer identity and access management systems, including Google SSO (experience with Okta a strong plus).

  • Build and maintain automation scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to streamline onboarding, offboarding, and repetitive tasks.

  • Strengthen IT asset management programs, ensuring accurate lifecycle tracking of all hardware, software, and licenses.

  • Implement and monitor compliance controls supporting SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness.

  • Collaborate with Security and DevOps on audits, vulnerability management, and incident response.

Team / Collaboration
  • Partner with Engineering, Security, HR, and Finance to align IT systems with operational and compliance goals.

  • Document key workflows, processes, and configurations in Notion to maintain clarity and transparency.

  • Mentor IT peers, share best practices, and contribute to a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

  • Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to align priorities and reduce friction.

Research/Best Practices
  • Stay ahead of industry trends in device management, SaaS optimization, and zero-trust security.

  • Evaluate and recommend new tools and platforms that improve automation, compliance, and employee experience.

What success looks like:

  • Strong experience with Microsoft Intune (policy creation, compliance management, and device security).

  • Proficiency in SSO and identity management tools (Google Identity, Okta, or similar).

  • Understanding of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance frameworks and controls.

  • Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell).

  • Working knowledge of networking fundamentals, endpoint protection, and incident response.

  • Experience managing IT projects via Agile or Kanban methodologies.

  • Excellent communication, organization, and documentation skills.

  • Collaborative, detail-oriented mindset with a focus on ownership and reliability.

How you work: 
  • Driven by Impact: You deliver results that matter—prioritizing high-value work, meeting deadlines, and adapting quickly while keeping outcomes clear.
  • Strategic & Customer-Centric: You anticipate risks and opportunities, connect decisions to long-term growth, and build trust through proactive insights.
  • Curious & Growth-Oriented: You seek knowledge, ask sharp questions, and apply learnings fast—challenging the status quo with a mindset of improvement.
  • Collaborative & Resilient: You thrive in change by staying resourceful, solution-focused, and positive—removing roadblocks, sharing insights, and keeping morale high.
  • Accountable & Honest: You own your work, hold yourself and others to a high bar, and use transparent feedback to drive growth.
  • Emotionally Intelligent: You build trust through empathy and collaboration, foster inclusion, and inspire others with grit, optimism, and integrity.
