Key Responsibilities

Own day‑to‑day management of our 6 Windows Server / SQL Server instances (currently hosted with Liquid Web), including our production. Acumatica environment and separate demo/sandbox environments.
Establish and maintain a patch management cadence for OS and SQL Server updates.
Design and maintain backup and disaster recovery procedures, with defined recovery time/point objectives (RTO/RPO) at minimum for production systems.
Own SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle management across all company domains and servers (currently issued through GoDaddy and renewed manually) — eliminate reliance on manual renewal.
Evaluate and recommend hosting strategy (continue with current provider vs. alternatives) as the environment grows.

ERP Administration And Management

Operate as our Acumatica System Administrator to support internal IT projects, upgrades, etc.
Help generate reports, dashboards, and integrations as requested by the leadership team.

Administer Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace: user provisioning/deprovisioning, security configuration, MFA/conditional access enforcement.
Periodically review license utilization and recommend consolidation opportunities across our dual Microsoft/Google environment.

Security & Endpoint Management

Deploy and manage business‑grade endpoint protection (antivirus/anti‑malware) and VPN across all company devices.
Administer enterprise password management across the organization.
Build and maintain a cybersecurity awareness training program for all staff
Evaluate and, subject to budget approval, implement endpoint detection & response (EDR/XDR) and/or outsourced SOC monitoring.

AI & Productivity Tooling

Administer business‑tier AI tooling subscriptions including license provisioning and usage governance.
Evaluate new AI/productivity tools as requested by leadership and manage the resulting vendor relationships.

Help Desk & Vendor Management

Serve as the primary point of contact for internal IT support requests; establish a lightweight ticketing process and informal response‑time targets.
Own relationships with technology vendors (hosting, SaaS subscriptions, hardware suppliers) including renewals, negotiations, and invoice review.
Maintain an accurate inventory of company software licenses, hardware assets, and vendor contracts.

Required Qualifications

3+ years of hands‑on experience administering Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server environments.

Working knowledge of endpoint security tools (antivirus/EDR), VPN technologies, and password management platforms.
Practical understanding of backup/disaster recovery design and patch management practices.
Comfortable being the sole in‑house IT resource — strong troubleshooting skills and ability to prioritize independently.
Clear, professional communication skills for supporting non‑technical end users.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Acumatica or another mid‑market ERP platform.
Experience managing SSL/TLS certificates and domain administration (e.g., GoDaddy).
Security certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CySA+) or willingness to obtain one.
Prior experience at a managed service provider (MSP) or as a sole IT generalist for a small/mid‑size company.
Familiarity with AI productivity tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Fathom, etc.) and associated data governance considerations.
