Qualifications

• 5+ years in IT support or IT operations, ideally at a fast‑growing company.

• Give every new hire a great first day, from a ready‑to‑go laptop to working accounts, whether they’re in the office or remote.
• Run onboarding, role changes, and offboarding through our automated workflows, and catch the exceptions they don’t cover.
• Keep the office running smoothly: conference rooms and AV, network and Wi‑Fi, printers, and walk‑up support on office days.
• Support new office buildouts and plan workplace IT as we grow.
• Manage IT assets, and vendor relationships, including stock and shipping for remote teammates.
• Build a self‑serve knowledge base and workflows that reduce ticket volume and help people help themselves.
