Providing comprehensive food services with a focus on the highest quality and freshest ingredients, impeccable service and total value is the reputation we have earned and live up to everyday.

Classification: Full-Time, Exempt

Position Summary

The Executive IT Support Lead provides dedicated, "concierge-style" technical support to the organization’s C-Suite and family owners. This role acts as a bridge between high-level business objectives and technical execution. The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who maintains extreme discretion, excels under high-pressure scenarios, and can translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable advice for non-technical leadership. The salary range for this position is $75,000 to $90,000.

Key Responsibilities

White-Glove Support: Provide 24/7 (on-call) priority response for all hardware (Mac/PC/Mobile), software, and connectivity issues for the executive team.

Proactive System Health: Conduct "morning-readiness" checks on executive offices, boardroom AV systems, and personal devices to ensure zero-latency starts to the business day.

Remote & Residential Support: Manage and secure home office environments, ensuring enterprise-grade connectivity and security for family principals outside the corporate office.

Security Stewardship: Implement and manage advanced security protocols (MFA, encrypted messaging, VPNs) specifically for high-target individuals. Conduct periodic "digital footprint" audits for executives.

Technical Onboarding/Offboarding: Manage the bespoke setup of technology for new executive hires, ensuring a seamless transition with zero downtime.

Vendor Liaison: Manage relationships with premium service providers (ISP, mobile carriers, specialized hardware) to ensure priority service levels.

Required Qualifications

Experience: 7+ years in IT support, with at least 3 years specifically supporting C-Suite or high-net-worth individuals in a corporate or family-office environment.

Technical Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of Microsoft 365, iOS/Android ecosystems, MDM solutions (Intune/Jamf), and advanced home networking (Mesh, Ubiquiti, etc.).

Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. Ability to remain calm, professional, and empathetic during stressful technical failures.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience.

Core Competencies for the Family-Owned Environment

Discretion & Trust: Absolute commitment to confidentiality; ability to handle sensitive family and business data with total integrity.

Predictive Service: The ability to anticipate technical needs (e.g., preparing a travel kit with international adapters and hotspots before an executive asks).

Professional Presence: Polished demeanor suitable for boardrooms and private residences.

Adaptability: Willingness to support "gray area" tech—where personal devices and business systems intersect—to ensure the principal's total productivity.

Executive Satisfaction Score: 95%+ satisfaction rating from the executive leadership team.

Resolution Speed: Critical issues resolved or bypassed within 30 minutes.

Zero Meeting Downtime: 100% uptime for high-stakes board meetings and town halls.

Security Compliance: 100% adoption of mandated security protocols among the executive tier.
