Overview

Hi, I'm Al Shvarts, Senior Manager, IT, and I'm looking for a part-time Sr. IT Specialist contractor to join our globally distributed IT team as we scale. This is a hands-on role focused on keeping our people productive and our systems secure across a fully remote, SaaS-first environment. You'll execute day-to-day support, improve and automate lifecycle workflows, and contribute to our security and compliance posture through reliable operational follow-through.

This is a great opportunity to get exposure to IT operations at a fast-growing SaaS company, with a clear path to full-time conversion based on performance and business need.

Some of the things you'll do

- Own tier 1-2 support across hardware, software, SaaS apps, and remote connectivity, with a customer-service-first mindset

- Execute employee lifecycle workflows (onboarding, offboarding, role changes) and improve assigned steps through automation and process refinement

- Administer identity and access management: provisioning, SSO, group and role-based access across core systems

- Maintain day-to-day device fleet health via MDM (device compliance, endpoint protection, patching, configuration)

- Support SOC 2, ISO, and HIPAA compliance through evidence collection, access review prep, and control adherence

- Work across our core tools - Okta (or similar), Jira, Notion, Linear - to triage, track, and resolve requests

- Create and update operational documentation for owned workflows

- Partner with People, Security, and Engineering on cross-functional projects
