The Role

The platform is in place; the function is not. This is a build, not an inherited, well-run stack. We are standing up a real IT function for the first time. NinjaOne is our RMM and unified endpoint management platform and it is already in use, but it was set up before anyone at the firm owned it.

We need someone to take ownership of it, audit and correct its configuration, and own everything that runs on top of it: endpoint management, mobile device management, automated software installation, patch management and operating system updates, backup management and automation, remote endpoint administration, and support ticketing for every employee. You would also own IT security operations and access governance. There is no direct report: this is a sole-practitioner function.

Endpoint Lifecycle

Manage full device lifecycles via NinjaOne (zero-touch deployment, hardware logistics, remote lock/wipe) and GCPW/macOS sign-ins.

Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Enforce configuration, compliance, remote wipes, and BYOD policy across iOS, Android, and macOS.

Patch Management

Execute end-to-end OS and third-party patching via NinjaOne automations, managing risks, rollbacks, and compliance metrics.

Backups & Restores

Manage endpoint, server, and SaaS (Workspace) backups, enforcing client retention policies and conducting scheduled restore tests.

Helpdesk & Remediation

Own NinjaOne ticketing and support, prioritizing scripted remediations to permanently reduce repeat issues.

Client Credential Governance

Administer client marketplace (Amazon, Walmart) access via strict RBAC, API/token management, and instant offboarding. Managing Partner approval is required for escalations.

Cloud & AI Admin

Manage BigQuery IAM/costs and enterprise AI (Gemini, Claude) access, holding the final security veto over data connectors.

Workspace & Chrome

Administer Google Groups, user profiles, shared drives, and enforce a strict allowlist for Chrome extensions.

Security Operations

Own device hardening (MFA, disk encryption), incident response, and quarterly access reviews across all platforms.

NinjaOne Admin

Optimize platform structure, script libraries, API integrations, tuned alerts, and internal documentation.

Business Continuity

Author and actively test disaster recovery plans for critical scenarios (e.g., ransomware, lost devices).

Vendor & Cost Management

Manage IT vendor relationships, reclaim unused software licenses, and advise the IT budget.

Client Setup & Teardown

Build secure, isolated engagement environments (2FA, vaults) at onboarding, and execute verified, complete access revocations at offboarding.

Documentation Standards

Set and own firm-wide governance standards (runbooks, access records, retention), defaulting as the owner across technical roles.

Absence Coverage

Guarantee IT continuity during your time off via robust runbooks, limited cross-training, and managing an external on-call provider.

Policy Authorship

Draft comprehensive IT and InfoSec policies (access, devices, incident response) for Managing Partner approval.

Requirements

• Scripting: PowerShell and macOS shell for automation.

• Cloud & SaaS Admin: Cloud IAM (GCP/BigQuery or AWS/Azure) and enterprise SaaS/AI data governance (retention, connector permissions).
