[Hiring] IT & Security Administrator @Adaptive Teams

Role 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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Benefits

• 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.
