IT Operations Manager

What You'll Do:

• Run IT operations day to day: set priorities, own help desk response targets and ticket metrics, and run the on-call schedule.
• Lead IT support, including the help desk and onboarding: work the queue hands-on when needed, take escalations, cover after-hours on-call.
• Set up and run standard IT processes: incident, request and change handling, and the asset lifecycle from purchase and deployment through recovery and disposal, including license counts and renewal dates.
• Manage our key IT vendors, including Granite, MetTel, RingCentral, our security provider and hardware vendors: the day-to-day relationship, escalations, and renewal recommendations for the Department Head to approve.
• Draft and maintain IT policies and a yearly infrastructure plan for the Head of IT/BI to approve, and report monthly on IT operations.
• Run the network at all 14 locations, including firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, Tailscale remote access and internet service through Granite, and lead the IT side of branch openings, moves and closures, from network and Kisi door access to on-site setup.
• Administer Google Workspace, our primary platform: tenant settings, security policies, SSO, MFA, groups and privileged accounts. Support Microsoft 365 and Entra ID as we phase them out.
• Own device management in MaaS360 for Windows and Mac laptops and a fleet of 200+ iPads and Android devices: policies, compliance, app deployment and the standard laptop build. Work with MetTel on device logistics as the field workforce ramps up and down each season.
• Own security operations: Huntress, vulnerability scanning, security awareness training, and incident response, working with our security provider.
• Run our phone, web and cloud services: RingCentral numbers and call flows, Cloudflare DNS and domains, email authentication (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), website hosting, SSL, backups and uptime, and AWS account security and cost monitoring.
• Automate onboarding and offboarding from Rippling into Google Workspace, MaaS360 and RingCentral, and run quarterly access reviews.
• Keep runbooks, network documentation and the disaster recovery plan current.

• 5+ years in IT systems administration, including time as a senior or lead IT person at a small or mid-sized company
• Hands-on experience with firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi across multiple sites

• Security fundamentals: endpoint protection, patching, MFA and SSO, backups and incident response
• Experience leading or mentoring at least one person, and managing vendor relationships and escalations
• Comfortable running a help desk queue while carrying project work, covering after-hours on-call, and traveling to branches on rare occasions
