• Management of Windows and macOS end-user devices, as well as shared technology resources and networks
• Procure, deploy, inventory, and retire hardware, and manage warranty repairs
• Monitor security alerts and apply best practices to protect client and company data
• Complete recurring compliance work such as partner and client security assessments, audit evidence, and incident response testing, and keep IT policies and documentation current
• Identify opportunities for improvement and work with team to standardize and improve IT processes
• Manage licenses, subscriptions, and IT spend, and research new tools and vendors

What You’ll Bring:

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in IT or a related field, or equivalent experience
• At least 3 years of IT administration experience, ideally supporting a distributed workforce
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Intune
• Proficiency supporting both Windows and macOS users
• Working knowledge of networking and security fundamentals (e.g., DNS, VPNs, firewalls, MFA, SSO)
• Experience working with MSPs and other IT vendors
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to work across time zones
• Microsoft certifications, Azure or AWS experience, or PowerShell scripting are a plus
• Ability to lift IT equipment up to 50 pounds and support occasional after-hours or weekend work

We hire qualified candidates who are legally eligible to work in the UK. However, we are not able to sponsor visas.
