The Role:

We are seeking an IT Support Lead to own day-to-day IT operations, user lifecycle management (onboarding/offboarding), and identity & access management (IAM) for our growing, distributed team. This role goes beyond execution; you'll set the standards, own the processes end-to-end, and serve as the primary technical escalation point and the CISO's key operational partner on access and security matters.

You'll be the go-to person for end-user technical issues across a distributed, remote-first team, while owning the processes that keep access to our systems secure and audit-ready. This is a hands-on role: you'll be provisioning and deprovisioning accounts, managing devices through Intune, driving IAM strategy, and making sure the right people have the right access at the right time.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune, Google Workspace administration, IAM/access control, core security fundamentals, and thrives in a fast-paced, compliance-driven environment (HIPAA). You've ideally operated as the sole or senior IT resource at a startup, comfortable wearing every hat, owning ambiguous problems independently, documenting your work, and balancing reactive support with proactive process

improvement.

Schedule: Mon-Fri 8am-5pm ET, and as needed to respond to urgent issues.

Required Qualifications

• 4-6+ years of IT support experience, including experience as the senior or sole IT resource
• 2-3 years of experience in a startup environment

• Strong working knowledge of security fundamentals: endpoint protection, identity/access security, encryption, patch management, and security best practices in a remote-first environment
• Experience handling PHI and working in HIPAA-regulated environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical staff and represent IT to leadership
• Customer service experience with a deep ability to remain patient, empathetic, and reassuring when supporting our team
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune
• Experience supporting both Windows and macOS environments
• Experience owning IAM / access management strategy and end-to-end onboarding-offboarding processes
• Experience with ticketing systems and managing work within SLAs
• Scripting experience (PowerShell, Bash) for task automation
• Willingness to ship, receive, and temporarily store company equipment (e.g., laptops) at their home as part of device lifecycle logistics
• Ability to work independently, own ambiguous problems, and manage competing priorities in a remote environment
• Must be based in the United States, Eastern Time Zone

Preferred Qualifications and Certifications

• Familiarity with least-privilege access principles
• Security certifications or demonstrable security-focused project work (e.g., implementing MFA rollout, endpoint hardening, incident response)
