Description
Role Purpose
The IT & Security Operations Specialist will be the hands-on operator responsible for keeping Get Levrg’s day-to-day IT environment secure, stable, organized, and easy for the team to use. This role exists to strengthen the practical execution layer of IT and cybersecurity: access control, user support, device and asset management, SaaS administration, password and MFA hygiene, security monitoring, documentation, vendor coordination, and issue resolution.
This is not a senior governance-only or management-heavy role. The right candidate should be highly technical, curious, resourceful, and willing to get hands-on every day — troubleshooting user issues, cleaning up systems, documenting processes, following through on access requests, and escalating risks before they become operational problems.
Why This Role Matters at Get Levrg
Get Levrg operates with distributed teams, client-facing delivery workflows, multiple SaaS platforms, and sensitive internal and customer data. Reliable IT operations and strong security hygiene directly affect productivity, customer trust, risk management, and operational discipline.
This role will help ensure that employees have the right tools and access to do their work, that company systems are properly controlled, and that IT issues are solved quickly without creating unnecessary complexity. The IT & Security Operations Specialist will help build a more organized, secure, and accountable technology environment as the company scales.
