Information Technology Operations Software Licensing Sysadmin Adobe Gsuite

Job description

We’re looking for an organized, people-friendly coordinator to own the day-to-day IT operations that keep the studio running: accounts, access, equipment, licenses, and the help desk queue. This is an operations and administration role, not a deep technical one. You don’t need to be a sysadmin, but you should be comfortable with technology and great at following things through to done. Think of it as a customer-service role for IT. When someone needs a license, a laptop, or a password reset, you’re the person who makes sure it actually happens. When something unfamiliar breaks, you’re the kind of person who can Google the problem, work through it to a resolution, and jot down what you learned for the next time. What you’ll do

  • Run the IT help desk: be the first point of contact, resolve routine requests yourself, escalate technical issues to engineering with clear context, and track everything to closure.
  • Manage accounts, access, and software licenses across the tools the studio runs on (Google Workspace, Slack, JumpCloud, Adobe, and others).
  • Handle the IT side of onboarding and offboarding for employees and contractors.Keep our hardware inventory accurate and coordinate equipment purchasing, shipping, repairs, and returns.
  • Stay ahead of software renewals and subscriptions so nothing lapses or auto-renews at a surprise price.
  • Keep documentation and checklists current so common requests get easier over time.
  • Pitch in on general administrative tasks as needed - the odds and ends that keep a small studio running.

Requirements

  • Reliable transportation to our Chicago office. This role handles physical equipment, so regular on-site presence is required.
  • Strong organization and follow-through. You own tasks from start to finish and nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Comfort with technology. You can navigate admin dashboards, follow technical documentation, and pick up new tools quickly.
  • Clear, friendly communication. Most of this job is helping colleagues who are varying degrees of stressed about a thing that isn’t working.
  • Experience administering Google Workspace, Slack, or similar tools.
  • Prior help desk, IT support, office management, or operations coordination experience.

Benefits & conditions

Schedule, pay, and benefits

  • Part-time, approximately 20 hours per week, generally spread across weekdays. We care about coverage and clear availability, not rigid shifts. We can work out a schedule that fits you.
  • $25-35 per hour, depending on experience.
  • Paid time off
  • 401K with company match, + $20.00 per hour Pay Rate: $20 per hour Schedule: Mon, Thur & Fri 8:30am - 4:30pm The Customer Relations Coordinator provides front-line administrative and customer service support to ensure ac…
