Quick overview
Job description
Keep 14 people secure, patched, backed up, and productive—without unnecessary IT overhead.
We’re looking for a US-based independent IT administrator or small MSP to personally manage IT and security for a 14-person team using a mix of Mac and Windows devices and Google Workspace.
Our security onboarding and policy documentation are already in place. We need a hands-on partner who can take ownership of the technical execution and keep things secure without overcomplicating them.
Location: US Based - Fully Remote
Your Mission: Day to Day Responsibilities
Manage endpoint protection and device security across Mac and Windows.
Administer Google Workspace account security and access controls.
Keep operating systems and key software patched and up to date.
Monitor and respond to security alerts.
Manage device and data backup coverage.
Handle routine IT/security maintenance and troubleshooting.
Complete an initial transition/setup project, then provide ongoing lean maintenance.
Document the environment and flag security or reliability issues before they become problems.
Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful
Strong experience supporting small businesses of roughly 10–30 users.
Hands-on experience with both macOS and Windows.
Strong Google Workspace administration and security experience.
Endpoint protection, patch management, device security, and backup expertise.
Huntress experience strongly preferred, ideally with an existing Huntress partner account and the ability to provide licenses.
Able to personally perform the work rather than primarily subcontracting it.
Strong communication, documentation, and security practices.
References from similar small-business clients are highly valued.
US-based required.
Your Perks: What's in it for you
A straightforward 14-user environment with a defined scope.
Opportunity for an ongoing client relationship rather than a large, complex MSP engagement.
One-time transition/setup project + recurring maintenance package.
Target recurring budget: $500–$800/month, including software/licenses.
We value practical security, responsiveness, and a partner who can work independently.
