What is a Jr. IT Administrator? 
We are growing fast and need help administering the software and hardware systems our employees use to do their jobs. Our team is highly technical and can usually solve their own technical issues however sometimes they need help. Your desire and skills at finding solutions to issues quickly and efficiently are key to this role.

Clearcover is a SaaS first company -- virtually all the systems we use are cloud based. While cloud based systems solve a lot of problems, we still need to provision and configure them, they need to be monitored for issues and when things go wrong they need to be fixed or support needs to be engaged. That’s where you come in.

Most of our users are on Mac’s and we have a modern mobile device management (MDM) system to monitor and provision them which makes this part of the job a joy. A few of our users are on Windows and you will be responsible for supporting them too. Of course, computers break and employees need upgraded computers, you’ll be responsible for helping people get back up and running quickly when they do have an issue. Finally, we have a pretty mobile staff and we are heavy users of web conferencing systems which you will support.
