The Opportunity

We're looking for a hands-on Specialist to join our productivity team to strengthen our

and other systems. Triage, investigate and resolve technical incidents and requests.

  • Drive Cybersecurity Initiatives:

Proactively identify risks, research best practices, and suggest improvements in

cybersecurity. Monitor systems for vulnerabilities, maintain endpoint protection and assist

in incident response.

  • Lead and Support IT Projects:

Contribute to IT infrastructure and security projects, from design through

implementation. Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance productivity

and reduce risk.

  • Collaborate and Communicate:

Partner with internal stakeholders across teams to ensure smooth operations and

knowledge sharing. Document procedures, insights and system changes clearly.

administration and cybersecurity.

  • Technical Skills:
  • Microsoft 365 and SharePoint administration.
  • Windows Defender and Intune familiarity.
  • Basic understanding of networking, identity, and endpoint security.
  • Exposure to Salesforce or other enterprise SaaS systems is a plus.
  • Mindset:

  • Resourceful, proactive, and curious — you enjoy learning and solving problems deeply.
  • Customer-focused, calm under pressure, and collaborative.
  • Experience using AI tools (like ChatGPT) for troubleshooting and automation.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft 365, Security+, Azure Fundamentals).

Why Join Us

  • Impactful Work:

Your decisions and insights will directly influence our cybersecurity posture and user

experience.

  • Autonomy with Support:

Operate in a small, highly skilled team where you'll have ownership but also mentorship

and guidance.
