  • Support SOC 2 and related compliance efforts through evidence collection, access reviews, policy support, and control documentation.
  • Assist with cloud, endpoint, and security monitoring tools as needed.
  • Partner with HR, Finance, Operations, and leadership to support employee lifecycle and technology needs.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to internal IT processes, tooling, and employee experience.
  • Escalate complex security, networking, or infrastructure issues to external partners or specialized support when needed.
Prerequisites:
  • 8+ years of experience in IT operations, systems engineering, IT support, or security operations.
  • Experience supporting internal employees in a remote or hybrid environment.
  • Experience with SOC 2, access controls, endpoint security, and internal compliance processes strongly preferred.
  • Experience managing small IT environments with broad hands‑on responsibility.
  • Experience in healthcare, life sciences, hospitality, or similarly regulated environments is a plus.
