Job description

About the Job In this role you will serve as the first point of contact for employee technology needs and as a hands-on administrator for accounts, devices, and business applications. You will also be the primary day-to-day liaison with our managed service provider, partnering with the IT Manager on items that require approval. The IT Manager will continue to lead systems architecture, integrations, security policy, and vendor strategy. We are looking for a self-directed professional who takes ownership of their work. You will be entrusted with assignments and given the autonomy to see them through to completion, coordinating with employees, our managed service provider, and software vendors as needed. The IT Manager will provide training and guidance along the way, and we value someone who approaches each challenge with initiative, resourcefulness, and sound judgment. Documentation is central to this role. As you learn and refine processes, you will capture them as clear standard operating procedures (SOPs), building a knowledge base that keeps our work consistent, efficient, and easy to share across the team. Within your first year, success will look like this: new hires have full access on their first day, departing employees are removed from all systems on their last day, every request is tracked through to resolution, and our procedures are documented clearly enough for anyone on the team to follow.
