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 SaaS 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 SaaS 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 SaaS 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 macOS-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 (CrowdStrike preferred).
- SSO/IdP administration (Okta, Google, JumpCloud).
- Security awareness tooling (KnowBe4 or similar).
- Apple Business Manager zero-touch deployment.
- Certifications: Google Workspace Administrator, Jamf, CompTIA A+, Security+, or similar.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: 85,000 - 100,000 CAD
- Work Environment: Hybrid from our mid-town Toronto office 2+ days/week.
- Benefits Package: Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage.
