• Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues for PCs, Macs, mobile devices, and peripherals, coordinating vendor repair or replacement when necessary
• Set up, configure, and troubleshoot printers and multifunction devices, including network connectivity, driver issues, and print queues in office environments
• Support collaboration and productivity tools such as Zoom and Slack, including user setup, basic administration, and troubleshooting meetings, channels, and integrations
• Assist with basic network and security troubleshooting (e.g., wired/wireless connectivity, VPN access) in environments leveraging Juniper networking and Palo Alto firewalls/VPNs, escalating complex issues to senior engineers or vendors
• Complete ongoing security awareness training and comply with company policies to the requirements section
• Identify and escalate security risks to the appropriate Executive Leadership Team member and actively contribute to remediation efforts
• Other duties as assigned
  
  

Desired skills and experience:

• 2+ years of experience in an IT help desk, service desk, or systems administration role supporting a hybrid and/or fully remote workforce
• Practical administration experience with Microsoft 365 (e.g., Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), including user lifecycle management and security groups
• Experience managing and securing endpoints with Microsoft Intune or a similar MDM/endpoint management platform, across both Windows and macOS devices
• Strong troubleshooting and customer service skills across PCs, Macs, printers, and common SaaS applications, with clear written and verbal communication that adapts to technical and non-technical audiences
• Comfortable working independently, prioritizing and owning tickets through resolution, and knowing when to escalate issues or seek guidance
• Experience administering Zoom and Slack; using and/or managing 1Password or other enterprise password managers; working with Jira or similar ticketing systems; and familiarity with Juniper wired/wireless networking and Palo Alto firewalls/VPNs are a plus!
