About The Position

At HUB International, we are a team of entrepreneurs. We believe in protecting and supporting the aspirations of individuals, families, and businesses. We help our clients evaluate their risks and develop solutions tailored to their needs. We believe in empowering our employees to learn, grow, and make a difference. Our structure enables our teams to maintain their own unique, regional culture while leveraging support and resources from our corporate centers of excellence. HUB is a global insurance and employee benefits broker, providing a boundaryless array of business insurance, employee benefits, risk services, personal insurance, retirement, and private wealth management products and services. With over $5 billion in revenue and almost 20,000 employees in 600 offices throughout North America, HUB has grown substantially, in part due to our industry leading success in mergers and acquisitions. Why This Role Exists HUB’s workforce is large and distributed. Every new hire, contractor, and departing employee represents a series of IT actions that must happen accurately and on time — user identity created, system access granted, hardware provisioned, remote user support delivered, and assets reclaimed. When onboarding is delayed, offboarding is incomplete, or users can’t get the access and support they need, the impact is immediate: lost productivity on day one, security gaps from lingering access, and employees left without the tools to do their jobs. The IT Onboarding Associate supports the enablement team by assisting with the daily execution of onboarding, offboarding, and user enablement activities. Working under the guidance of the Onboarding Analyst and team leadership, this role helps ensure that new hires and contractors are set up on time, that departing users are offboarded completely, and that the routine IT tasks supporting these workflows are completed accurately and consistently. This is a hands-on, task-focused role ideal for someone building a career in IT service delivery who is eager to learn, follow established processes, and grow into broader responsibilities.
