Overview

Role summary

We are looking for a Senior IT Support Admin to own and operate FINBOURNE's corporate IT estate β€” spanning identity and access management, endpoint and device management, workplace security operations, and office infrastructure.

This is a broad, hands-on role that sits at the heart of how FINBOURNE's staff work day-to-day, and requires someone equally comfortable responding to a staff ticket as they are designing a network VLAN or building an Okta lifecycle workflow.

You will be responsible for administering the full Saa S and device estate across mac OS and Windows, managing identity platforms including Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, and owning office networking across Cisco Meraki and Uni Fi.

You will act as the primary internal IT point of contact for all staff, manage the relationship with our third-party MSP, and contribute directly to audit and compliance evidence for SOC2 and ISO.

You will be expected to actively leverage AI tools β€” including Claude and Claude Code β€” to automate routine tasks, accelerate scripting, and improve documentation.

  • Maintaining IT runbooks, admin guides and onboarding / offboarding documentation in Notion as the system of record
