About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive IT Administrator to join our Corporate Support Services team.

Ability to perform root-cause analysis and forensic investigations.
Capable of translating complex technical risks into business-friendly language for leadership.
High attention to detail for inventory management and compliance logging.
Ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams, provide responsive support to end users, communicate clearly, share knowledge, solve problems proactively, and recommend process and technology improvements.

Responsibilities

Configure, deploy, and manage company laptops and peripherals; maintain accurate inventory tracking from provisioning to secure decommissioning.
Maintain local and cloud-based network infrastructure (firewalls, switches, VPNs), ensuring redundancy and optimal remote access security.
Oversee company-wide software installations, patching, and updates to ensure stability and regulatory compliance.
Monitor logs and security tools for threats; lead vulnerability management and proactive incident response.
Ensure IT operations meet NIST, ISO 27001, and CMMC standards; maintain detailed security documentation for business proposals and audits.
