About this role
Antora Energy delivers affordable, reliable energy to industry, data centers, and the grid. Our thermal batteries turn low-cost electricity into always-on heat and power, without supply-constrained critical minerals or multi-year construction timelines.

Position Summary
Antora Energy is hiring its first Senior IT Manager to serve as the internal owner of the company's IT infrastructure, cybersecurity posture, and enterprise technology environment. This person will combine strategic leadership with hands-on execution — leading IT planning and governance while directly improving systems, security, and operational reliability across corporate, factory, and project-site environments.
The IT Manager will partner with internal engineering teams and external technical specialists (including Antora's outsourced IT partners) to ensure our corporate, operational technology, and AI environments are secure, scalable, and well-managed. A core focus of this role is strengthening Antora's network, infrastructure, and cybersecurity foundations as the company prepares for its next stage of growth and investment.
Over time, this person will lead the evolution of Antora's IT capabilities from a vendor-supported model to a more internally led function — building the team, processes, and systems to support that transition.
