The ideal candidate has hands-on experience leading Active Directory cleanup and restructuring, with strong expertise in Windows Server across on-premises and Azure. This is a full-time, on-site role reporting to the IT Manager, requiring you to enforce standards, drive remediation, and operate effectively in M&A-driven environments while working independently and collaborating across teams.

    • Enforce standards for naming, access, group design, and least-privilege
  • Server & Infrastructure Management
    • Build, administer, and maintain Windows Server environments (on-prem and Azure)
    • Manage physical/virtual infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, Azure, Scale) and lifecycle
    • Support modernization efforts, including migration to hybrid/cloud environments

    • Develop PowerShell automation to improve efficiency and consistency
  • Backup & Resilience
    • Own backup strategy and systems; ensure regular recovery testing for disaster recovery readiness
  • Security & Remediation
    • Lead remediation of findings from audits, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests
    • Implement and maintain infrastructure security and hardening standards
    • Administer and maintain security platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, Defender) in coordination with eSentire (SOC-as-a-Service)
  • Acumatica ERP Administration
    • Administer and maintain the Acumatica ERP instance, including system configuration, screen customizations, and workflow automation
    • Manage Acumatica user roles and security configurations to enforce least-privilege access
    • Manage Acumatica license allocation and API/integration connections (SOAP/REST)
    • Monitor data integrity and integrations with third-party applications (EDI, payroll, field service tools, and similar)
    • Build and maintain Generic Inquiries (GIs), dashboards, and reports to support business reporting needs
    • Coordinate and test Acumatica version upgrades, patches, and hotfixes in a sandbox environment before rolling out to production
    • Provide Tier 1/2 support to end users, troubleshoot issues, and escalate to Acumatica support or implementation partners as needed
    • Support ongoing data cleanup and validation tied to the transition from Sage Accpac
    • Document system configurations, processes, and standard operating procedures
  • Collaboration
    • Partner across finance, operations, IT Infrastructure, Applications, and Development teams to gather requirements and understand business needs
    • Communicate impacts and align priorities with business stakeholders
    • Operate independently while aligning with IT priorities and standards

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent work experience
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience administering Windows Server and Active Directory environments, on-premises and in Azure
  • Proven experience owning and redesigning Active Directory environments, not just supporting them, including AD cleanup/consolidation/restructuring, GPO design and standardization at scale, and managing multi-domain and/or M&A-driven environments
  • Strong expertise in Active Directory (DNS, GPO, replication, trusts), identity & access management principles, and PowerShell automation
  • Experience leading security remediation efforts from audits, vulnerability scans, or penetration tests
  • Experience with hybrid identity (Entra ID / Azure AD Connect) and hybrid-joined environments
  • Experience with infrastructure patching and configuration management, and backup/disaster recovery planning and validation
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, VLANs, segmentation)
  • Ability to manage projects and priorities independently, without constant supervision, and to collaborate effectively within a distributed IT team

Preferred Qualifications
  • Working knowledge of Acumatica ERP in a business setting; Acumatica Certified Professional a plus
  • Direct experience migrating from Sage Accpac/Sage 300 to Acumatica

Compensation and Benefits:
