IT Systems & Security Support Specialist I – Job Description

Improve Group is seeking an IT Systems & Security Support Specialist to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of how we design, coordinate, and deliver innovative construction projects.

The IT Systems & Security Support Specialist I serves as the first line of technical support for the organization while also playing an active role in technology deployments, device management, and security operations. Excellent customer service and communication are just as important as technical aptitude, as this role regularly works with employees across the organization to troubleshoot issues, communicate solutions, and provide technical guidance.

This role is ideal for someone who is curious, enjoys solving problems, and wants to continuously expand their skills across Microsoft 365, cloud technologies, cybersecurity, automation, and IT operations.

Our team works across Microsoft 365, cloud technologies, cybersecurity, automation, and endpoint management, giving team members opportunities to develop broad technical skills while delivering exceptional support.

As your technical skills and experience grow, this role can expand into Microsoft 365 administration, cybersecurity operations, identity & access management, cloud administration, or automation/AI-enabled IT operations.
