We’re hiring a hands-on IT Systems & Security Specialist to design, secure, and continuously improve our internal IT environment: endpoints, identity, networking, collaboration platforms, and compliance evidence.

This Role requires

• IT security & compliance execution : implement controls, policies, and evidence collection aligned to CMMC readiness (e.g., practices associated with NIST SP 800-171), and keep the program operational.
• Secure identity and access across Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365/SharePoint:
• MFA, SSO, conditional access, least privilege, privileged access workflows

• Harden and manage endpoints (Windows/macOS/Linux as applicable):
• MDM (Intune/Jamf/other), patching, configuration baselines
• EDR/AV, disk encryption, device compliance, secure remote access
• Design and secure networking for an SME environment:
• Firewalls, VLANs, VPN/zero-trust access, Wi-Fi security, DNS/email security
• Vendor/ISP coordination and reliable site operations
• Build strong operational hygiene :
• Asset inventory, vulnerability management, logging/monitoring, incident response
• Backups, disaster recovery, business continuity testing
• Create audit-ready documentation :
• Security policies/procedures, diagrams, system inventories, evidence binders
• Manage POA&Ms and track remediation to closure
• Be the go-to security partner for the business:
• Risk assessments for new tools/vendors
• Security awareness and “secure-by-default” enablement

Required qualifications

• 5+ years in hands-on IT infrastructure + security roles (SME environment strongly preferred)
• Proven experience securing Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365/SharePoint (admin-level)
• Strong fundamentals in:
• IAM (MFA, RBAC, least privilege), endpoint management, networking, logging/monitoring
• Experience building security documentation and operating a compliance program (CMMC/NIST-style controls, SSP/POA&M concepts, audit prep)
• Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and drive work to closure

Nice to have

• Direct experience with CMMC assessments and coordinating third-party audits
• Familiarity with defense-adjacent requirements (e.g., handling CUI, DFARS-adjacent workflows)
• SIEM experience, email security, DLP, CASB, scripting/automation (PowerShell/Python)
• Security certifications (Security+, SSCP, CISSP, CISM, CCSP) or equivalent experience
