JOB SUMMARY:
The IT Support & Systems Administrator is a versatile, hands-on position that will handle the full spectrum of day-to-day technical support - from basic user requests to more advanced systems administration tasks - while also providing essential administrative support to keep the IT function running smoothly. A successful IT Support & Systems Administrator is self-sufficient, adaptable, and comfortable switching between end-user support and back-end system maintenance as business needs demand.

2. Systems & Infrastructure Administration
Assist with the administration of on-premises and/or cloud-based systems including servers, storage, and backups
Apply patches and updates and maintain endpoint security across the environment
Support identity and access management processes including MFA, group policies, and permissions
Assist with the administration of key business platforms such as Microsoft 365, cloud services, or line-of-business applications

Maintain and update IT documentation including network diagrams, system configurations, and procedures
Support IT onboarding and offboarding processes - provisioning accounts, equipment, and access in a timely manner
Assist with compliance-related tasks such as data retention, access reviews, and basic security audits
4. Projects & Continuous Improvement
Contribute to IT projects such as system upgrades, office moves, hardware refreshes, and software rollouts
Identify inefficiencies in current support processes and suggest practical improvements
Build and maintain a knowledge base of common issues, fixes, and how-to guides for staff self-service
Stay current with relevant technologies and make recommendations to improve the IT environment
