This is an amazing opportunity to lead, grow, and further refine IT service delivery during an exciting time of growth.
THE TEAM
The Eventbrite IT team, or BriteTech as we are fondly referred to internally, is responsible for overseeing all internal corporate technology. This is a tight-knit, supportive, community-oriented, collaborative, and innovative team built around three key principles: Security, End User Experience, and Efficiency through Automation.

We are a diverse, global, forward-thinking group and are looking for that special someone to join us and lead this team!
THE ROLE

Leaning on the three key principles of security, end-user experience, and efficiency through automation, you will propel corporate IT forward into operational excellence and maturity and drive innovation that will support the company as it scales and grows. You are also proactive in fostering a dynamic, collaborative team environment where team members can be their authentic selves, coach and provide feedback, and build strong partnerships across the organization. You have hands-on experience across a wide range of IT areas and aren't afraid to dive into the details, but you also build trust among your team members and empower them to do their best work.
At Eventbrite, we strive to support our Britelings and their loved ones through different stages of life with robust and attractive benefits, financial and physical wellness options, and great perks. In addition to offering a competitive salary and company stock, we have other great benefits available. In the Briteland, you'll find great medical plans, fertility and adoption benefits, wellness reimbursement, generous parental leave, and much more.
We care about your mental health and wellbeing.
Our employees enjoy free coaching sessions with Modern Health. We also offer free therapy sessions with a psychologist. You'll also have access to private medical insurance for you and your family, that includes dental care. And our wellness program to pay for your gym expenses.
We work hard to cultivate a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where Britelings feel like they belong.
Employees can participate in resource groups and we offer programming throughout the year to support a diverse and inclusive workplace.
We offer ongoing training and career development that meets people where they are in their careers.
We offer unlimited access to courses in Udemy, leadership coaching for all managers, Briteling led talks, and weekly company-wide town halls with our CEO. We take culture seriously and design programs with employee feedback in mind to make Eventbrite a great place to work no matter where you work from in the world.
Work-life balance & flexibility is extremely important to us.
Our employees can choose what works best for them: work in one of our offices, be fully remote or the best of both worlds! We believe in a flexible working environment to allow Britelings to perform at their best ensuring a healthy work-life balance. We have recently implemented Britebreak Fridays: all Britelings turn off their computers and take the first Friday of every month off to focus on their wellbeing.
