Responsibilities

  • Manage IT support and service delivery. You’ll run our ticketing system, triage requests, resolve day-to-day issues, and ensure the team has responsive, high-quality IT support.
  • Oversee device and access lifecycle. You’ll handle provisioning and de-provisioning of laptops, mobile devices, applications, and user access.

  • Someone comfortable being hands-on with day-to-day IT support while also thinking strategically about how systems, processes, and controls need to evolve.
  • You'll be comfortable with ambiguity and building as you go, creating processes and standards where they don't exist yet.
