the role
As our IT Specialist, you'll be the day-to-day technology expert
for our agency (and allllllll of the mac devices we use),
navigating the complexities of a modern, remote workforce. Sure, we

counting on you to solve the more intricate tech problems that go
beyond the basics. When something-anything-tech-related doesn't
work (which, trust us, happens a lot), you'll be our go-to fixer.
On top of troubleshooting, you'll help us modernize our workflows,
improve efficiency, and bolster our security, ensuring that our
teams can stay focused on their work, not on error screens. And
