Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and highly trusted IT Administrator to become our first dedicated in-house IT hire, reporting to our Head of Infrastructure.

You will be the go-to person for day-to-day corporate IT at a 70-person Saa S company, with a primary focus on employee onboarding and offboarding and running our internal helpdesk.

You’ll also implement IT and security initiatives across our devices, accounts, and tools, working from a roadmap set by your manager.

This is a hands‑on individual contributor role with room to grow as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities

• Core focus
• Own employee onboarding and offboarding: hardware, accounts, and access provisioned by day one and revoked same-day at exit.
• Automate onboarding, offboarding, and other repetitive IT tasks using AI tools and scripts, so the IT function scales faster than headcount.
• Run our internal helpdesk: triage, resolve, and document IT issues across the company.
• Implementation
• Implement IT and security initiatives such as lightweight mobile application management and endpoint baseline enforcement (disk encryption, screen lock, EDR health).
• Administer Google Workspace day to day: user accounts, groups, org units, and security settings.
• Manage the device lifecycle through Iru endpoint management (formerly Kandji): procurement, enrollment, OS updates and patching, repairs, refresh cycles, and secure wiping of returned devices.
• Set up, license, and administer our core Saa S tools, handle access requests, and help evaluate new tools.
• Maintain the IT asset inventory and write clear runbooks and documentation.
• Run phishing simulation campaigns, enroll clickers into training, and track completion.
• Support the Infrastructure team during compliance engagements.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years in IT support or administration, ideally at a Saa S or tech company.
• Hands‑on experience running employee onboarding and offboarding and handling helpdesk requests.
• Google Workspace administration experience, including user provisioning, groups, and security settings.
• Experience with MDM/endpoint management in a mac OS‑first environment (Iru/Kandji, Jamf, or Mosyle); enough Windows familiarity to support a small number of exceptions.
• Comfort using AI tools and scripting to automate repetitive work.
• Discretion and sound judgment: this role holds privileged access to many of our systems, and a background check is required.
• Clear, friendly communication skills; you’re the approachable face of IT across the company.
• Strong documentation habits and attention to detail.
• Bonus Points
• EDR experience (Crowd Strike preferred).
• SSO/Id P administration (Okta, Google, Jump Cloud).
• Security awareness tooling (Know Be4 or similar).
• Apple Business Manager zero‑touch deployment.
• Certifications: Google Workspace Administrator, Jamf, Comp TIA A+, Security+, or similar.

Compensation & Benefits

• Work Environment: Hybrid from our mid-town Toronto office 2+ days/week.
• Benefits Package: Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage.
