We’re here to ensure the advertising industry and the people in it are healthy and engaging positively and effectively with those around them. We’re here, ultimately, to improve the lives of people working in the media industry. And we take our responsibility seriously.
 

ABOUT THE ROLE

 

The IT Specialist is a technological Swiss army knife who has a passion not only for gadgets and technology, but also a passion for helping others with even the smallest tech questions.  They are regularly called a hero for saving someone’s day or a teacher for helping a new employee understand their new laptop.  When the IT Specialist isn’t helping out on our help desk, they are helping the rest of the team with core projects or tapping into their endless quest for knowledge by researching new technologies that will benefit the entire company.  The IT Specialist may not know the answer to everything, but they never give “I don’t know” for an answer.

 

ABOUT THE TEAM 

 

The Corporate IT team has decades of combined experience, but the fact that we stay current with this experience keeps us from being dinosaurs.  We oversee a mid-sized, modern, secure network of nearly 700 clients running primarily Windows 10, with a dose of OSX for good measure.  Window Server 2012 and CentOS rule the server landscape.  Most importantly, the line between help desk and administrator is thin, and we all take every opportunity to educate each other on our increasingly-complex network and brainstorm ways to make it better.  Our customers are our fellow employees, and we consistently receive accolades for our excellent service and solutions.
