M&A Collaboration & Security Platforms Engineer in Moffat

Building the Future of Open Finance. Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.

The team at Payward is scaling fast through active M&A. Every acquisition brings its own collaboration stack, Google Workspace tenant or Slack instance, domains, and archiving obligations. This role owns the productivity and collaboration platforms, Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom, across the Payward family of brands, with a focus on M&A integration.

You will scope the migration, move users, channels, files, and configurations, untangle the acquired environment, and land it cleanly inside Payward's security and identity stack. You will work across Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, Corporate Development, and the acquired companies themselves.

The opportunity:

• M&A Integration (Core Focus)
• 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: what they run, how it's configured, what the security and compliance gaps are, and what it takes to consolidate.
• Rationalize overlapping tools across brands, decide what migrates, what sunsets, and what stays, and see those calls through.
• Build repeatable playbooks, tooling, and automation so each successive integration is faster and cleaner than the last.
• Coordinate cutover timelines and TSA-driven dependencies with Corporate Development, Legal, and the acquired teams.
• Collaboration Platforms
• Own Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom at multi-entity enterprise scale, architecture, governance, licensing, configuration, and day-to-day operations across the brand portfolio.
• 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; build automation that makes the secure path the easy path.
• Collaborate with HRIS and IAM teams to manage clean onboarding and offboarding across platforms and entities.
• Email & Domain Security
• Own email security infrastructure across brands, filtering, quarantine, impersonation defenses, and DMARC/SPF/DKIM hygiene.
• Manage a large, multi-registrar, multi-brand domain portfolio; lead DNS migrations, audits, and consolidation as brands come in.
• Respond to phishing campaigns, insider threat signals, and anomalous domain activity with speed and precision.
• Compliance & Legal Support
• Lead legal hold management, eDiscovery queries, and data productions across email, Slack, and Google Drive.
• Architect and maintain compliant archiving infrastructure as new businesses are onboarded and legacy ones sunset.
• Produce and defend evidence for regulatory and audit obligations, working directly with Legal and Compliance.
• Security & Access Control
• Design and maintain DLP rules, group access controls, and data access policies across collaboration platforms and entities.
• Lead insider threat reduction initiatives, access revocation, high-risk extension management, public channel governance.
• Own platform-level incident response: investigation, containment, and post-incident improvement.
• Tooling & Vendor Management
• Evaluate, onboard, consolidate, and sunset SaaS tools across the collaboration and security stack.
• Lead vendor relationships, procurement, and renewals; make build-vs-buy-vs-sunset calls and see them through.
• Build automation that reduces manual toil and improves governance at scale.

What you bring:

• 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.
• 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.

Skills & Mindset:

• You operate end-to-end: scope the problem, design the solution, execute it, and close it out cleanly.
• You’re comfortable making decisions under ambiguity.
• You understand that clean infrastructure is a security control.
• You work well across functions: Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, Corporate Development, and the acquired teams.
• You communicate proactively; stakeholders know where things stand.
• You manage multiple concurrent integrations without losing threads.
• You automate and systematize recurring work; you build things that outlast you.
• You take ownership: if something's broken, you fix it.

Nice to haves:

• Experience integrating multiple acquired companies' collaboration stacks into a single parent environment.
• Experience with Global Relay, Smarsh, Virtru, or comparable archiving platforms.
• Familiarity with Okta and its integration patterns with Google Workspace and Slack.
• Experience managing a large domain portfolio across multiple registrars and DNS providers.
• Exposure to eDiscovery and legal hold tooling.
• Comfort in a regulated industry, financial services, crypto, fintech.
