IT Administrator

Data security and efficient IT operations are important to us, and as a result we are looking for a sharp candidate with a strong IT troubleshooting and systems administration background to support our growing organization and help strengthen our IT practices. The IT Administrator will support our organization in several ways, including Microsoft 365 and Azure administration, Windows and macOS device management through Intune, ticketing system support, and hardware logistics. Our ideal candidate will be a critical thinker who consistently seeks to improve processes and their own knowledge, strives for high-quality work, genuinely wants to help others, and is looking for a long-term place to grow their career. We’re looking for individuals to join the team who very much want to know why something happened in addition to just that it happened. We have a lot of ideas but are hopeful your perspective will push us forward together to deeper understanding.
