In this role, you will be the first contact of our IT operations, ensuring that our designers, account managers, and executives have the seamless technology they need to meet tight deadlines.

The ideal candidate has a "no task too small" attitude, thrives in a high-pressure environment, and is equally comfortable troubleshooting a Windows server as they are clearing up stubborn printer jams.

Our office is located in midtown Manhattan. This role is required to be in-person 5 days a week (Mon-Fri).

-   Network Maintenance: Monitor and maintain the agency’s internal network, ensuring high-speed connectivity for large media file transfers and cloud backups.
-   Hardware Lifecycle: Manage the deployment, imaging, and hardware repair of laptops, desktops, and peripherals (Wacom tablets, monitors, etc.).
-   AV & Presentation Support: Set up and troubleshoot conference room technology for high-stakes client pitches.
-   Onboarding: Lead IT orientation for new hires, ensuring all hardware, software, and access permissions are ready on Day 1.

## Requirements

-   Experience: 2–3 years of professional IT support experience, preferably within a creative agency, production house, or similar fast-paced industry.
-   Certifications: Active CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+ certifications are required.
-   OS Expertise: Deep knowledge of macOS and Windows troubleshooting.
-   Networking: Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, and WiFi troubleshooting.
-   Communication: Ability to explain technical concepts to "non-techy" creative professionals with patience and clarity.

## Benefits

We offer a competitive base salary and a range of benefits and perks:

-   **Salary range: $65,000 - $85,000 per year, commensurate with experience**
-   Health care plan (medical, dental and vision)
-   Retirement plan with employer match
-   Life and disability insurance
