About The Position

At Fluency, we come together under two shared passions that drive our culture: the scaling of digital ad operations, and fostering a workplace environment rooted in open communication, inclusivity, and a growth-oriented mindset. These passions not only set us apart in the industry, but also fuel our collective drive to reshape the industry and reinvent ourselves along the way. We're not just revolutionizing the digital advertising horizon, we're shaping an organization where every member feels a sense of pride and is inspired to do their best work. Fluency's IT team is small, strategic, and high-impact. We operate at the intersection of infrastructure, enablement, and security, building the systems and processes that let every team at Fluency do their best work. We believe that great IT is invisible when it works and indispensable when it matters. We're building a team of people who take ownership, think in systems, and care about the details that make a real difference. As part of a growing Engineering division, we work closely with cross-functional partners to ensure Fluency's technology ecosystem is secure, reliable, and built to scale. We're looking for people who want to build something, not just maintain it. As the IT Ops Analyst, you will be the operational backbone of IT at Fluency. This is the second hire on the IT team, and your impact will be immediate. You'll own the day-to-day: helpdesk support, onboarding and offboarding, device management, access provisioning, and the documentation and automation that makes all of it scale. But this isn't just a support role. You'll be expected to identify patterns, eliminate recurring issues, build automation, and improve the way IT works across the organization. The right person sees a manual process and thinks, "I can fix that." You'll operate with autonomy, make sound decisions around access and security, and take real ownership of your domain. This role directly unlocks the IT team's ability to focus on strategic initiatives like zero trust architecture, AI adoption, data loss prevention, and security leadership by ensuring that Fluency's employees get fast, reliable, high-quality support every day.
