Our team manages elements of our internal office tech infrastructure, including email and calendar administration, employee onboarding, network administration, SaaS management, asset management, and more. You will have the opportunity to design, implement, operate, and troubleshoot the systems, services, and tools we own, in both physical and cloud-based environments.

We believe strongly in personal growth and mentorship,  so your ability to succeed is directly related to your desire to grow.

• Help our colleagues maximize their abilities through the effective use of technology: investigate their issues and perform hands-on troubleshooting if necessary
• Provide exceptional support to general staff and executives based in the US West region
• Be a strong technical voice within the organization by providing training for colleagues and developing self-service resources where possible
• Participate in on-call support rotations; be available for off-hour maintenance and upgrades
• Provide support for network, telephone and audio/visual systems, both day-to-day as well as support for company meetings and events
• Configure, deploy, and maintain user devices and accounts, automating the process wherever possible
• Maintain detailed documentation of work completed, using the information gathered to develop self-service knowledge bases and improved user guides

Success Measures:

The IT Support Specialist will be successful in this role when they can execute the following strategic tasks/responsibilities:

• Maintain an accelerated personal growth path:
• In 3 months you’ll be fully up to speed on the services and technologies we deploy and maintain, having the ability to independently handle day-to-day IT tasks
• Within 6 months you’ll be actively developing novel solutions to inefficient processes and problems
• By 12 months you’ll be thinking largely in terms of efficiency and have the skills necessary to execute on your ideas. This could mean anything from becoming a networking wizard to an automation guru; your growth path is largely defined by your interests and desires.
• Customer Service: Provide an unparalleled customer experience by offering top-notch technical support, creating easy to follow self-service resources, and workflow automations for our colleagues
• Communication: Successfully communicate team challenges and support solutions internally and externally, while having the ability to communicate complex technical issues simply and convincingly to a wide range of audiences
