Enterprise Technology Services Specialist

New York, NY

Role summary

The IT Support Specialist plays a key role in managing and supporting the company's IT offices and internal network infrastructure. This role ensures reliable, secure, and user-centered technology services for Ridgeline employees, with dedicated ownership of the New York (in-person support) and Dublin (virtual support) offices. This role requires Level 3 IT support expertise, including using and improving AI bots so they give reliable responses and resolutions to IT issues. The role manages corporate accounts, devices, and office network services, and partners with Security and the rest of the IT Enterprise Workplace team.

As the regional IT lead, you'll make sure employees in New York and Dublin get the same fast, high-quality support as every other Ridgeline location. That covers on-site services, local vendor and ISP relationships, office AV and network health, and support coverage that bridges US and Dublin time zones.

AI and automation are a core part of this job. You'll spend a significant share of your time replacing manual, repetitive IT work with reliable automations, AI-assisted workflows, and agents. You'll own each one from idea through production and ongoing monitoring, to Ridgeline's security, privacy, and quality standards. The ideal candidate is a skilled troubleshooter and builder. 

What you'll do

Support & operations

  • Provide advanced ITSM support and independently resolve complex issues, including software and license requests, endpoint device problems, identity and access failures, and network connectivity issues.
  • Serve as the L3 escalation point.. Own root-cause analysis and post-incident write-ups for recurring or high-impact issues.
  • Lead onboarding, offboarding, and account lifecycle management, including the automation behind them.
  • Provide on-site support for security and physical entry/exit systems.
  • Track your queue against the team's SLOs and surface issues with proposed fixes.

New York & Dublin regional ownership

  • Serve as the primary IT owner for both offices, covering walk-up support, conference room and AV readiness, office network health, and executive and VIP support.
  • Provide coverage across US Eastern and European time zones. Partner with the broader IT team on handoffs so regional tickets meet SLOs.
  • Manage local vendors, ISPs, facilities partners, and hardware suppliers, including circuit installs, outages, repairs, and service contracts.
  • Handle regional hardware logistics for US and EU employees: procurement, shipping, imaging, returns, customs, VAT, warranty and repair, and ISO/UK keyboard and power standards. Lead hardware refreshes and in-person onboarding, including day-one setup, badges, access, and orientation.
  • Support office moves, build-outs, expansions, and events, including network, AV, and Zoom Rooms planning and installation.
  • Help the manager oversee inventory, office IT supplies, and network hardware purchasing, and contribute to security awareness efforts.

Networking

  • Resolve wired and wireless connectivity, DHCP, DNS, VLAN, and switch port issues, and manage access points, switches, and firewalls through cloud-managed platforms. Diagnose performance and reliability issues 
  • Support secure network access, including 802.1X/RADIUS Wi-Fi authentication, guest segmentation, 

AI & automation

  • Own a roadmap of automation and AI opportunities for IT. Prioritize the highest-volume, highest-effort manual work, and turn recurring tickets into automations and self-service content, including region-specific guides.
  • Build and own automations (Python/Bash/JavaScript, APIs, webhooks) from problem definition through testing, rollout, documentation, and monitoring.
  • Design and maintain AI-assisted workflows and agents, such as ticket triage and routing, self-service answers in Slack, access request handling, onboarding and offboarding orchestration, and after-hours cross-time-zone coverage.
  • Use AI daily for triage, KB drafting, and automation script generation.
  • Validate every AI output and automation for accuracy, security, privacy, and maintainability, applying least-privilege access, audit logging, and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Help measure and report impact (hours saved, ticket deflection, resolution time, SLOs). Document each workflow with runbooks and a named owner, and retire automations that aren't delivering value.
  • Mentor teammates and champion practical AI adoption across IT.

What you bring

  • 5+ years in IT operations, service desk, endpoint management,, with a track record of independent resolution at L3.
  • Experience supporting multiple offices or regions, ideally across the US and Europe, with flexibility for occasional early or late coverage.
  • Hands-on Mac administration and troubleshooting.

  • Working IAM knowledge (SSO, MFA, least privilege, RBAC, audit logging, joiner/mover/leaver), enough to identify issues with access permissions.
  • A track record of building and running automations in production, including scripting (Python, Bash, or JavaScript), APIs, webhooks, JSON, auth, and integration debugging.
  • Hands-on experience building AI-assisted workflows or agents in an IT or support context, with the judgment to catch where the model is wrong or unsafe.
  • Strong root-cause analysis, ITSM fluency.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
