IT Support Specialist
nadiacare • Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Posted: August 18, 2026
Job Description
The Role:
We are seeking an IT Support Specialist to join our growing team. This role owns day-to-day IT support, user lifecycle management (onboarding/offboarding), and identity & access management (IAM), with hands-on device management and light compliance support.
You'll be the go-to person for end-user technical issues across a distributed, remote-first team, while also 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, 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, and IAM/access control, and thrives in a fast-paced, compliance-driven environment (SOC 2, HIPAA). You're comfortable working independently, documenting your work, and balancing reactive support tickets with proactive process improvements.
Schedule: Mon-Fri 8am-5pm ET, and as needed to respond to urgent issues.
Key Responsibilities
IT Support & Operations:
- Serve as the primary point of contact for Tier 1-2 technical support requests via ticketing systems (e.g., HappyFox)
- Support end users across both Windows and macOS environments, including hardware, OS, and application issues
- Troubleshoot connectivity, printing, email, and general software/access issues
- Triage and resolve tickets within defined SLAs, escalating complex issues as needed
- Maintain clear documentation of common issues, fixes, and internal how-to guides
User Lifecycle Management & IAM:
- Own end-to-end onboarding/offboarding: bi-weekly training new hires on company systems, attend onboarding meetings, account provisioning, device setup, and access control for new hires and departing employees
- Manage identity and access management (IAM), including periodic user access reviews, role/permission assignment, and timely deprovisioning
- Apply least-privilege principles when granting or reviewing access to systems and applications
- Support SSO configuration and troubleshoot SaaS application access issues
- Maintain accurate records of who has access to what, for audit and compliance purposes
Device, Hardware, and Endpoint Management:
- Administer Microsoft Intune (MDM) and O365 for a remote, multi-OS device fleet
- Enforce security policies across endpoints, including encryption, patching, and compliance configurations
- Support and monitor Microsoft Defender across managed devices
- Handle physical logistics for company devices, including shipping/receiving equipment via UPS or other carriers for new hires, offboarding, and repairs
- Track device inventory and assist with procurement and lifecycle management of company hardware
Systems Administration:
- Manage Google Workspace users, groups, and settings
- Maintain and troubleshoot core SaaS tools used across the organization
Automation & Scripting:
- Create and maintain scripts (PowerShell, Bash) to automate repetitive IT and access-management tasks
- Identify opportunities to streamline onboarding/offboarding and device provisioning workflows
Security & Compliance:
- Support SOC 2 and HIPAA controls relevant to IT operations and access management
- Assist with audit evidence collection and enforcement of security policies
- Work closely with the CISO on access-related audit requests and remediation items
Required Qualifications
- 2-5+ years of IT support experience supporting a remote or distributed workforce in the healthcare field
- 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
- 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 with IAM / access management and end-to-end onboarding-offboarding processes
- Experience with ticketing systems and managing work within SLAs
- Solid understanding of endpoint security fundamentals (encryption, patching, MDM policies)
- 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 and manage competing priorities in a remote environment
- Must be based in the United States, Eastern Time Zone
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with least-privilege access principles
- SOC 2 familiarity (nice to have, not required)
- Experience with Microsoft Defender, Azure AD
- Google Workspace administration experience
Preferred Certifications
- Microsoft Endpoint Administrator
- Google Workspace Administrator
- CompTIA Security+
- ITIL Foundation
What Success Looks Like
- New hires are fully onboarded and productive on day one, with no access gaps or delays
- Offboarding is complete and access is revoked promptly, with no orphaned accounts left behind
- IAM access reviews are conducted on schedule, with clean, audit-ready documentation
- Tickets are resolved consistently within SLA, with a track record of clear communication back to end users
- Endpoints remain compliant, patched, and properly enrolled in Intune
- The CISO can rely on this role for accurate, timely access and compliance evidence without having to chase it down
Compensation range for this position is between $60K-$70K. The exact amount will depend on direct, relevant experience.
