IT Manager

The Role

Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF) is seeking a versatile, proactive, and highly organized IT Manager to serve as the primary technology resource for our company. As our in-house IT expert, you will wear many hats-from troubleshooting daily user issues and provisioning equipment, to managing our network infrastructure and safeguarding our data. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in an autonomous environment and can translate technical concepts to non-technical team members with patience and clarity.

What You'll Do

• IT Operations & Strategy: Build, manage, and optimize all internal IT operations, systems, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Vendor Management: Act as the primary liaison with third-party technology vendors, internet service providers, and software support teams.
• Budgeting & Planning: Develop and manage the annual IT budget, forecast technology expenditures, and align software/hardware investments with business objectives.
• Policy & Compliance: Establish and enforce IT security, data privacy, device usage, and remote work policies. Ensure compliance with relevant industry regulations.
• Project Management: Plan and execute IT projects end-to-end, including cloud migrations, system upgrades, office expansions, and software rollouts.
• Infrastructure & Systems Administration: Install, configure, and maintain local network infrastructure (switches, routers, firewalls, Wi-Fi), servers, and storage systems.
• Cloud & User Administration: Manage identity and access management systems (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure AD / Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta).
• Cybersecurity & Data Protection: Implement network security measures, endpoint protection, patch management, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and automated backup/disaster recovery solutions.
• End-User Support: Provide primary or escalation support for workstation hardware, operating systems (Windows/macOS), software applications, and network connectivity issues.
• What You'll Bring
• 5+ years of progressive experience in IT systems administration, network administration, or IT support engineering.
• 2+ years in a supervisory, team lead, or sole-contributor IT manager role with direct responsibility for overall IT environment health.
• Proven track record of managing end-to-end IT projects without heavy external assistance.
• Deep familiarity with TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, VLANs, firewalls (e.g., Fortinet, SonicWall, Cisco Meraki), and wireless networking.
• Expert administrative capability in Microsoft 365 / Entra ID or Google Workspace, as well as Windows Server or Linux environments.
• Experience with MDM/RMM tools (e.g., Intune, Jamf, NinjaOne, Datto) for automated device provisioning, patching, and monitoring.
• Hands-on experience configuring firewalls, antivirus/antimalware systems, spam filtering, and automated cloud/on-premise backups (e.g., Datto).
• Successful applicants will be asked to show proof that they can legally work in the U.S
