About The Position

The IT Project Manager / Systems Administrator is an experienced, organized, and technically capable IT professional joining our team in a hybrid role: part IT project manager, part junior systems administrator.

This role is a fit for someone with a few jobs into their career who has built solid systems administration fundamentals. Likely in a junior system admin or MSP role who is ready to broaden their scope. You'll take ownership of the IT project portfolio, mature our documentation and process practices, and continue to sharpen your technical depth across a full Microsoft enterprise stack. The role has exposure to security, compliance, infrastructure, and data, with a clear path to grow into senior systems responsibilities over time.
