Senior IT Analyst
Summary
The Senior IT Analyst will manage internal IT systems, identity platforms, and security compliance while providing technical escalation support and mentoring junior staff. This role requires a hands-on professional to work from the Toronto office four days a week, focusing on cloud infrastructure, MDM, and automation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Own escalated and complex user tickets (P0–P3), serving as the technical escalation point for identity, endpoint, and cloud platform issues across our global teams.
-
Work closely with security compliance programs (ISO27001, ISO42001, SOC2 Type II) — including monitoring and resolving test problems, collecting evidence, and collaborating with auditors and the internal security team.
-
Design, scope, and implement improvements to internal policy, procedures, and our tool stack with minimal direction; bring recommendations proactively.
-
Administer and optimize our identity platform (Okta), including Lifecycle Management (LCM), workflow automation, SCIM provisioning, MFA policies, and app integrations.
-
Manage user access and entitlements across cloud platforms: Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian Cloud, AWS, GCP, and Azure.
-
Develop scripts and automation to reduce manual IT toil and improve operational efficiency (Python, Bash, or similar).
-
Evaluate, onboard, and integrate new vendors and technologies — including security posture review and interoperability assessment within our best-of-breed stack.
-
Lead hardware procurement cycles, enforce asset management standards, and maintain accurate inventory.
-
Manage software license and subscription allocations; optimize spend and report on utilization trends.
-
Own the central IT knowledge base — set documentation standards, maintain accuracy, and drive team-wide adoption (Notion, Confluence, or similar).
-
Mentor and support junior IT staff through knowledge-transfer, pairing, and work review.
-
Drive cross-functional IT projects from scoping through delivery, coordinating with stakeholders across the business.
REQUIREMENTS
-
Excellent interpersonal skills with a genuine customer-service orientation — you treat every ticket as an opportunity to leave someone better off than you found them.
-
A self-starter who can prioritize effectively, work independently, and take full ownership of their work without needing to be managed.
-
Positive energy and openness — you bring good vibes to the team and approach every situation, even messy ones, with a can-do attitude.
-
Reliable and consistent — people know they can count on you to follow through, communicate proactively, and not let things fall through the cracks.
-
Confidence in your abilities, paired with the humility to know when to ask for help or escalate.
-
Outstanding troubleshooting, problem-solving, and rationalization skills — you can systematically work through complex issues, identify root causes, and clearly explain your reasoning to others.
-
The resilience to thrive in a fast-moving, scale-up environment where priorities can shift and ambiguity is the norm.
-
A strong team player who wants to grow, mentor others, and share knowledge freely — you make the whole team better.
-
Deep expertise in Okta — Lifecycle Management, workflow builder, MFA policy design, and SCIM integrations with third-party apps.
-
Strong knowledge of MDM platforms (Jamf preferred) and macOS administration at an admin level.
-
Hands-on experience with ISO27001, SOC2 Type II, or equivalent compliance frameworks — active participation in audits, not just awareness.
-
Solid Google Workspace administration skills (Org Units, GAM, API-level access, advanced reporting).
-
Experience managing cloud IAM across at least two of: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
-
Scripting or automation experience (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar) applied to real IT operational problems.
-
Security-minded with a proactive approach to risk identification, vulnerability triage, and remediation.
-
Loves documentation — you take pride in clarity and completeness, and maintain a central knowledge base others actually want to use (Notion, Confluence, etc.).
-
An ability to connect and communicate effectively with employees, clients, and vendors at all levels.
-
Mentorship or informal team-lead experience is a strong asset.
-
Familiarity with secure software development practices and developer tooling environments is an asset.
