Flexibility available for highly qualified candidates with strong cloud infrastructure and modernization experience.

Our client is building and modernizing their internal IT organization as part of a large-scale technology transformation initiative. This role offers the opportunity to join a growing team responsible for shaping the future of infrastructure, security, cloud operations, and technology governance.

The organization operates a multi-site environment and is actively investing in Microsoft cloud technologies, security enhancements, networking modernization, and operational maturity. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building, improving, and standardizing technology environments rather than simply maintaining them.

The environment is highly collaborative, fast-paced, and evolving. Team members will have the opportunity to influence technology strategy, establish best practices, and help create scalable infrastructure solutions that support long-term organizational growth.

The Systems Administrator II serves as a senior technical resource responsible for the administration, governance, security, and modernization of a Microsoft 365 ecosystem and cloud-first infrastructure environment. This is not a traditional maintenance-focused Systems Administrator role. The ideal candidate will be a builder who can assess current-state environments, identify risks and opportunities, establish standards, create documentation, and help drive infrastructure modernization initiatives.

This individual will partner closely with leadership and technical teams to improve security posture, strengthen governance, modernize infrastructure, and implement scalable operational processes.
