About The Position

We are looking for a hands-on IT Systems Administrator to own the day-to-day administration of our core IT, productivity and security systems.

Microsoft 365 is central to how we operate. You will be a key administrator of our Microsoft environment, helping ensure our users, devices, collaboration tools and security controls are well-managed, reliable and scalable as the company grows. Working closely with the Head of Engineering and IT/security leadership, you will play a key role in strengthening how we manage identity, devices, security tooling, Microsoft 365 and IT service delivery across the business.

• Hands-on experience administering some combination of IAM, endpoint protection/EDR, MDM and Microsoft 365.
• Experience participating in SaaS or security-tool vendor evaluations and managing vendor relationships.
• Confidence working directly with end users on training, support and rollout communications.
• Strong documentation habits and an ability to build clear processes from scratch.
• Familiarity with core security practices, including least privilege, MFA, endpoint hardening, conditional access and phishing awareness.

• Experience with Microsoft 365 tenant migrations, tenant consolidation or post-acquisition integration.
• Experience with Microsoft Defender, Intune, Entra ID, Purview or related Microsoft security and compliance tooling.

• Experience supporting a business through an acquisition, merger or tenant consolidation.
• Exposure to SIEM/SOC tooling, NAC or DLP solutions.
• Administrative familiarity with AWS, Azure and/or GCP.

• Experience with Business Central or a similar ERP platform.
• Relevant certifications, such as Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert, Microsoft Security certifications or CompTIA Security+.

• Act as a primary administrator for Microsoft 365, user accounts, licences, groups, mailbox and collaboration settings, security controls and access policies.
• Support requirements gathering, evaluation and selection of a new identity and access management (IAM) platform.
• Configure, launch and administer the IAM platform, including user lifecycle management, access policies and integrations.
• Help maintain a secure, consistent Microsoft identity environment, including MFA, conditional access, role-based access and onboarding/offboarding processes.
• Administer 1Password, including vendor management, user onboarding, training and policy setup.

• Support the evaluation, rollout and administration of endpoint protection / EDR tooling.
• Manage mobile device management (MDM) and the broader managed-device fleet, including provisioning, patching, compliance policies and endpoint-security standards.
