About Employee Navigator

Employee Navigator is a fast-growing, profitable SaaS company that partners with leading insurance carriers, payroll providers, and insurance brokers to help make managing employee benefits and HR a whole lot easier. Our platform simplifies the day-to-day work behind benefits administration, employee onboarding, and other HR tasks. As the leading broker-focused platform, we serve more than 180,000 companies and over 14 million employees around the country. We’re also honored to have been named a Washington Post Top Workplace for six consecutive years.

About The Role

Data security and efficient IT operations are important to us, and as a result we are looking for a sharp candidate with a strong IT troubleshooting and systems administration background to support our growing organization and help strengthen our IT practices. The IT Administrator will support our organization in several ways, including Microsoft 365 and Azure administration, Windows and macOS device management through Intune, ticketing system support, and hardware logistics. Our ideal candidate will be a critical thinker who consistently seeks to improve processes and their own knowledge, strives for high-quality work, genuinely wants to help others, and is looking for a long-term place to grow their career. We're looking for individuals to join the team who very much want to know why something happened in addition to just that it happened. We have a lot of ideas but are hopeful your perspective will push us forward together to deeper understanding.

• Maintain and improve hardware inventory, procurement processes, and device lifecycle management
• Create, update, and maintain IT documentation, procedures, and technical standards
• Research new tools, technologies, and best practices, and propose improvements to enhance security, reliability, and efficiency
• Support office infrastructure such as networking, cabling, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and AV systems
• Assist with configuration and maintenance of switches, firewalls, and other network appliances as needed
• Collaborate with Security, Engineering, HR, and other teams on cross-functional initiatives
