Jobbeschreibung

We are seeking a proactive, autonomous IT Systems & Compliance Administrator to assist in managing our core IT infrastructure and meeting our corporate compliance requirements. In this versatile generalist role, you will hold two primary assignments: maintaining, integrating, and securing our cloud environments, and actively driving the creation, decision‑making, and enforcement of our IT policies and documentation.

The ideal candidate is a true "jack-of-all-trades" who enjoys the technical side of back‑end cloud administration just as much as organizing data governance and preparing the organization for external compliance audits. Based in the Huntsville defense hub, this role requires a solid foundational knowledge of CMMC and NIST 800‑171 frameworks to protect our digital perimeter and ensure continuous audit readiness.

• App Integration: Configure secure enterprise application integrations within Azure, managing API permissions, single sign‑on (SSO), and Entra ID identity governance.
• Infrastructure Operations: Maintain core hybrid IT systems health, troubleshoot back‑end infrastructure escalations, and assist with occasional Linux server management or troubleshooting.
• Emerging Tech Adoption: Assist with the safe, compliant integration of Enterprise AI tools into the existing company workflow.

2. Compliance, Policy & Data Governance (approx. 40%)

• Framework Alignment: Direct daily IT configurations to explicitly meet NIST 800‑171 controls and prepare the company for upcoming CMMC assessments.
• Policy & Documentation Ownership: Author, update, and organize critical compliance artifacts, including System Security Plans (SSPs), Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), and internal IT policies.
• Information Protection: Deploy and manage Microsoft Purview for data classification, data loss prevention (DLP), and corporate data retention rules.
• Audit Readiness & Enforcement: Lead internal vulnerability scans, log reviews, and access audits to ensure staff compliance and smooth external audit operations.
