IT Consultant (Office-First Hybrid [local candidates only]) — Desktop or Infrastructure Track
About the position We’re a small, highly-responsive IT consulting company that operates like a traditional MSP—but with a twist. We bill hourly, don’t resell hardware or software, and we don’t push unnecessary products or services. Instead, we focus on solving real problems, advocating for users, and giving clients confidence in their technology. Our approach is white-glove, not bargain-bin. We move fast, think critically, and always put the user experience first. We’re proud of our ability to manage vendors, stand up for clients, and ensure that users are never made to feel like they’re asking too much. We’re growing and need to add key team members that are a blend of strong technical generalists, software-savvy problem solvers, and client-relations pro. This role is a great fit for someone a bit overqualified who thrives on autonomy, knows how to ask for help when needed, and genuinely enjoys helping people.
