Jobbeschreibung

This role is based in Vancouver, BC. It is hybrid, with 3 days per week in office.

We're looking for an IT Administrator to join our team as we enter our next stage of growth. As our IT Administrator, you'll be the first point of contact for IT and run our day-to-day operations, while driving projects forward across several company objectives with little hand-holding. You'll own outcomes, not just tickets, and the role calls for strategic, systems-level thinking: you fix root causes, not symptoms, and treat the whole environment as yours. We use AI heavily as a productivity multiplier, not a replacement for effort, and you'll help lead the way. And IT here isn't tucked away in a back room: you'll be visible, approachable and part of the fun.

Who we are

At Traction Rec, community is at the heart of everything we do. We empower nonprofit organizations like YMCAs, Jewish Community Centers (JCCs), Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), and Salvation Army Kroc Centers to strengthen their communities through great technology built on the Salesforce platform. By enabling these organizations to deliver their services more efficiently, we help them focus on creating meaningful connections and driving positive change where it matters most.

We believe that business is a powerful force for good. As part of this belief, we’ve committed to the Pledge 1% for the Planet, dedicating 1% of our time, product, profit, or equity to supporting environmental and community causes. This commitment reflects our dedication to creating a positive impact that extends beyond technology.

Our Values

At Traction Rec, we live our values: Community, Authenticity, Impact, Fun, and Growth. As a Living Wage Certified employer in British Columbia, we are dedicated to supporting not just the communities we serve but also the people who make it all happen—our team.

If you’re passionate about making a difference and want to join a company that puts community first, we’d love to have you on this journey with us. Together, let’s create stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.

Skills

• 3-5+ years in an intermediate-to-senior IT support or systems administration role, including administrative and project work
• Hands-on administration of Google Workspace or other identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID: SSO, MFA, groups, provisioning and deprovisioning
• Experience managing Mac and Windows devices with MDM and endpoint security tools
• Solid security fundamentals: least privilege, password and vault management, security awareness training, patching, and change control
• Solid networking fundamentals (DNS, VPN, Wi-Fi, firewalls) and a working understanding of cloud networking in AWS or Azure, including subnetting and network segmentation for compliance
• A self-directed, "see something, do something" mindset: you manage multiple projects independently and act on problems people haven't reported
• A service-minded, patient approach: you're a welcoming, supportive resource for colleagues at every level, technical or not
• Excellent communication skills; you explain fixes in plain language, write clear documentation, and are comfortable coaching non-technical teammates
• A strong grasp of how a business operates end to end: you know few changes affect just one team, and you plan for the downstream impact of broad changes before you make them
• Sound judgment and integrity: you resolve root causes, weigh effort against business impact, know when to act and when to ask, and own your mistakes
• A commitment to continuous learning and growing both personally and professionally
• Hands-on experience using AI tools in your daily work, treating AI as a productivity multiplier, not a substitute for your own effort and review
• A working understanding of code and scripting (e.g. Python, PowerShell or Bash), enough to read, adapt and automate; familiarity with containers like Docker or Kubernetes a plus
• Experience with compliance audits (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA), Salesforce administration, or workflow automation tools like n8n a plus

What You Will Be Doing

• Working from our Vancouver office 3 days a week as the hands-on IT presence for the team: in-person support, hardware and device setup, office network, A/V, and meeting room tech
• Monitoring Slack, email, and our support channels for issues, including the ones nobody reports directly, and resolving sign-in, access and everyday tool problems
• Owning every issue as a closed loop: documenting the problem, symptoms, troubleshooting and resolution, and helping us build a more mature support practice
• Running onboarding and offboarding end-to-end, and fulfilling access requests with the right approvals and least privilege
• Owning the device lifecycle: provisioning, tracking, patching, and keeping our fleet compliant
• Administering our core SaaS stack and managing vendor relationships, from support cases and renewals to licensing and hardware orders
• Training our team to work with IT: open communication channels, a ticket-first mindset, and good collaboration habits
• Finding where knowledge is siloed and documenting our systems and procedures, so no single person is a point of failure
• Partnering with DevOps on our cloud environments, understanding how networks and workloads are segmented so access and changes stay compliant
• Keeping us audit-ready and acting as first responder on security questions, escalating real incidents quickly
• Driving IT projects end-to-end across several company objectives, reducing tech debt, and using quiet periods to clear backlog and improve our systems
• Automating repetitive work with workflow tools, scripting and AI agents, and helping our teams adopt new AI tools safely
• Occasionally working outside regular hours for planned maintenance windows or urgent incidents
