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.
Payward, the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, xStocks, Breakout, and a growing portfolio of businesses, is scaling fast through active M&A.; Every acquisition brings its own collaboration stack, its own Google Workspace tenant or Slack instance, its own domains, its own 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. When we buy a company, you're the person who scopes the migration, moves the users, channels, files, and configurations, untangles the acquired environment, and lands it cleanly inside Payward's security and identity stack.
You'll work across Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, Corporate Development, and the acquired companies themselves, often as the most knowledgeable person in the room on how these platforms actually connect. 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
Coordinate cutover timelines and TSA‑driven dependencies with Corporate Development, Legal, and the acquired teams
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; 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, and raise the bar as new entities and threats arrive
Manage a large, multi‑registrar, multi‑brand domain portfolio (Cloudflare, MarkMonitor, and others); lead DNS migrations, audits, and consolidation as brands come in
Compliance & Legal Support
Lead legal hold management, eDiscovery queries, and data productions across email, Slack, and Google Drive, across multiple entities
Architect and maintain compliant archiving infrastructure (Integral Relay, Smarsh, Virtru) as new businesses are onboarded and legacy ones sunset
Produce and defend evidence for regulatory and audit obligations (17a‑4, ISO, external auditors), 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
Evaluate, onboard, consolidate, and sunset SaaS tools across the collaboration and security stack as the portfolio grows




4–6 years of hands‑on experience administering Google Workspace and Slack at companies with 1,000+ users, including complex migrations and governance work

~ Direct experience with compliance and legal workflows, legal holds, eDiscovery, regulatory data productions, and compliant archiving platforms

You operate end‑to‑end: scope the problem, design the solution, execute it, and close it out cleanly, especially under the time pressure of a deal
You understand that clean infrastructure is a security control, not an operational nicety
Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, Corporate Development, and the acquired teams you're integrating
You take ownership: if something's broken, you fix it
