About The Position

We are looking for an experienced IT Support Lead to deliver exceptional technical support while helping scale and improve our IT operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, improving processes, and creating a great employee experience.

Requirements

10+ years of hands-on experience in IT Support, IT Operations, End User Services, or a similar technical support role. This person should be comfortable operating independently and handling a wide range of employee-facing IT issues.
Strong experience supporting macOS, Windows, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta, Slack, and SaaS-based environments. The ideal candidate can troubleshoot across identity, endpoints, collaboration tools, and business applications.
Experience owning onboarding, offboarding, endpoint provisioning, and access-related workflows. This includes preparing equipment, coordinating account access, ensuring secure deprovisioning, and improving the overall new hire experience.
Experience managing IT inventory, asset tracking, hardware logistics, and device lifecycle operations. Accuracy and follow-through are critical, especially in a fast-moving environment with remote employees, office equipment, and specialized devices.
Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and knowledge base management skills. This person should be able to solve issues directly, identify repeatable patterns, and turn tribal knowledge into clear, useful documentation.
Exceptional attention to detail, strong communication skills, and a service-oriented mindset. This role requires someone who can stay organized, handle sensitive access and asset processes carefully, and communicate clearly with employees at all levels.
