The role:
- We're looking for an IT Support Specialist to keep Maple's day-to-day technology running smoothly for our 200 (and growing) employees. This role is central to maintaining a dependable, high-touch support service across our hybrid workplace.
- In this position, you'll resolve technical requests, configure and ship hardware, manage application access, maintain precise inventory records, and refine the processes that make IT support seamless. You'll partner closely with Business Technology, Information Security, and People & Culture to deliver smooth onboarding/offboarding experiences, coordinate technology for company events, and power the tools that keep our team connected.
Your responsibilities:
- Provide responsive technical support to Maple employees and contractors across the IT Help Desk, Slack and email
- Drive employee onboarding, offboarding, and role transfers by provisioning software access and setting up, imaging, and shipping hardware
- Maintain an accurate hardware inventory, overseeing device check-ins/check-outs, shipping logistics, returns, procurement, and end-of-life retirement
- Configure, troubleshoot, and maintain Mac and Windows devices
- Execute system administration tasks, including application integrations, deployments, migrations, and software upgrades
- Perform monthly security reviews and quarterly application access audits in collaboration with the Information Security team
- Partner with People & Culture to execute technology for company events (including All-Hands and Town Halls), setting up presentation equipment for on-site attendees and hybrid video conferencing

By the end of month three, you'll be independently resolving over 50% of monthly support requests.
- Over your first 12–18 months, you'll take full ownership of the technical aspects of onboarding/offboarding, hardware lifecycle management, and office technology maintenance. You'll help automate routine workflows, execute quarterly access audits and monthly security reviews, and maintain meticulous asset records.
