Proof of the Pudding is a chef-led hospitality company delivering food and beverage experiences at some of North America's most complex sports, entertainment, cultural, and live-event venues.
Founded in Atlanta in 1979, Proof has built a national reputation for doing hospitality differently—from-scratch cooking at scale, hyper-local sourcing, and a partnership-first approach that treats clients as collaborators, not contracts. The company serves professional and collegiate sports venues, convention centers, cultural institutions, and large-scale destination events across the United States and internationally.
This position will be the face of IT for our employees—the person they call when a laptop won't start, a login won't work, or a new team member needs to be up and running on day one.
This is a genuinely exciting time to join. We're building a modern, cloud-first IT environment on Microsoft 365, Intune, Autopilot, and Entra ID, and you'll work alongside the IT Lead and a senior Microsoft 365 specialist as we do it. The role also includes travel, and if you enjoy getting out from behind a desk and meeting the people you support, you'll feel right at home.
This position reports directly to the CFO and works collaboratively with internal colleagues and external technology partners. This position may require travel among our venues.
