IT Specialist

We are a premier third-party logistics company (3PL).

ARS Group was started in 2002 by Mike Paradee San Jose, CA. In 2012 we joined Trinity Logistics as an independent agent. In 2017 we opened an office in Charlotte, NC.

Our mission Is to provide a Premium Partnership without the premium price tag.

Premium – “Excellence is never an accident; it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution, and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.” - Aristotle

Partnership – We engage to change and improve people’s lives and businesses. We treat our customers’ money like it’s our money. We build trust through transparency and communication.

Value – We don’t chase the dollars; we pursue excellence, we take care of the pennies, and the dollars follow. We reduce waste through efficiency and continuous improvement.

This is a remote position.

We are looking for an IT Specialist to join our IT department and work closely alongside our IT Administrator. This is a broad, hands‑on role for someone who thrives in a small team environment, enjoys wearing multiple hats, and wants to grow into a key pillar of the company's technology operations.

You will support day‑to‑day IT operations, assist with infrastructure management, and play a meaningful role in building out our data infrastructure — contributing to dashboards, pipelines, and analytics tooling that the wider business relies on. Over time, this person will develop the capability to manage IT operations independently and serve as backup coverage for the IT Administrator.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is eager to learn fast, or a mid‑level candidate who already has solid foundational skills and wants broader ownership.

Schedule is 8 hours/day, 8am to 5pm, Eastern Time, Mondays to Fridays.

• Serve as a first point of contact for internal IT support requests from employees
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and connectivity issues in a timely and professional manner
• Manage and maintain IT ticketing and support workflows
• Provide excellent customer service — communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical staff

• Assist in the administration and maintenance of Microsoft 365 and Azure environments (user provisioning, licensing, security policies, Entra )
• Support on‑prem and cloud‑based systems, including patching, monitoring, and maintenance
• Help manage and maintain network infrastructure, including switches, firewalls, and VPNs
• Assist with backup, disaster recovery, and endpoint management processes

• Support the build‑out of a modern data stack, including data pipelines and a centralized data warehouse
• Assist with administration and maintenance of Metabase and Grafana for internal reporting and dashboards
• Help develop and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines to centralize data from various business tools
• Collaborate with stakeholders to build and maintain dashboards and reports that support decision‑making
• Contribute to the evaluation and implementation of data tooling (e.g., data warehouse platforms, transformation layers such as dbt)

• Maintain clear and up‑to‑date documentation of systems, configurations, processes, and procedures
• Assist in creating run‑books and internal knowledge base articles
• Help identify gaps in existing IT processes and propose improvements
  
  Work closely with the IT Administrator to learn all aspects of the IT environment
• Over time, develop the skills and knowledge to manage IT operations independently and act as backup coverage
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with other departments to understand their technology needs

Our IT department is a lean, high‑impact team currently run by a single IT Administrator. We manage the full breadth of technology operations for the company — from end‑user support and systems administration through to data infrastructure and analytics tooling. This new hire will be a foundational addition to the team, with real opportunity to shape how IT grows alongside the business.
