Job Summary The Systems Administrator is responsible for the day-to-day operation and support of Accuity's enterprise IT environment. Reporting to the Manager, IT Operations, this role is the primary hands-on owner of employee technology support, account and access administration, endpoint management, and routine systems maintenance for a fully remote workforce. This role works alongside Accuity's managed service provider as the internal point of contact who triages incoming issues, routes and escalates work appropriately, and follows provider work through to resolution rather than duplicating it. It is the first line of support for employees and the day-to-day execution layer beneath the Manager, IT Operations. Because Accuity operates in a HIPAA and HITRUST regulated environment, the Systems Administrator works within defined security and compliance controls at all times, particularly around identity, access, endpoint configuration, and evidence of the work performed. Responsibilities End User Support and Service Delivery Serve as the primary internal point of contact for employee technology support, including intake, triage, prioritization, and resolution or escalation. Resolve common issues such as password resets, multifactor authentication enrollment and recovery, account lockouts, mailbox and file access, connectivity, and software installation. Meet defined response and resolution expectations, and keep employees informed of status through to closure. Document issues, actions taken, and resolutions in the ticketing system so history is complete, searchable, and reportable. Identify recurring issues and recommend permanent fixes, automation, or documentation rather than repeating manual remediation. Build and maintain self-service guidance and end user documentation for common tasks. Identity, Access, and Account Administration Administer user accounts, groups, and licenses in Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365, including creation, modification, and disablement. Execute employee onboarding and offboarding, including timely provisioning of accounts, licenses, groups, and equipment, and complete, verified deprovisioning on departure. Process access requests against approved role-based entitlements and least privilege, escalating anything outside standard entitlement to the Manager, IT Operations. Support multifactor authentication, conditional access and password policy administration. Maintain accurate access records and produce evidence for periodic access reviews and audits. Endpoint, Device, and Asset Management Administer endpoints through Microsoft Intune, including enrollment, configuration baselines, compliance policy, patch deployment, and remote remediation. Manage the device lifecycle, including procurement support, configuration, shipment to remote employees, return, secure wipe, and disposal. Maintain accurate IT asset and software license inventory, including assignment, status, and periodic reconciliation. Ensure operating system, security agent, and application updates are applied on schedule and verified as applied. Support secure remote access and virtual desktop configuration for employees working in client environments. Systems Operations and Maintenance Perform routine administration and monitoring of Microsoft 365 services, Azure tenant services, file and collaboration platforms, and related enterprise systems. Execute scheduled maintenance, backups, restores, and recovery testing according to documented procedures. Monitor system health and alerts, respond within defined thresholds, and elevate promptly when an issue exceeds the scope of the role. Support telephony, conferencing, and collaboration tooling used across the organization. Follow change management procedures for production systems, including documentation, approval and rollback planning. Participate in scheduled maintenance windows and an after-hours or on-call rotation as required to maintain service availability. Service Provider and Vendor Coordination Serve as the day-to-day internal coordinator with Accuity's managed service provider, triaging what is handled internally versus routed to the provider. Track provider tickets through to resolution, verify the quality of work delivered, and elevate delays or repeat issues to the Manager, IT Operations. Support vendor coordination for hardware, software, licensing, warranty, and support cases. Maintain accurate records of vendor interactions, entitlements, and open issues. Security and Compliance Support Operate within Accuity's security controls at all times, including least privilege, endpoint protection, application control, data loss prevention, and monitoring tooling.

Support security awareness activities, including phishing simulation follow-up and workforce training administration. Handle protected health information and other sensitive data strictly in accordance with policy.
