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.
