  • Adaptability to handle changing priorities, re-triage tasks, and respond effectively to new requests.
  • A collaborative, approachable attitude , whether fixing a simple issue or diving into a complex challenge.
  • Willingness to pitch in with everything from running cables to contributing to larger-scale technical projects.
  • Eagerness to learn different technologies and continuously expand your skill set.
  • Ability to work primarily on-site in our Richmond, Virginia offices, with occasional flexibility for remote work when business needs allow.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficient with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 administration.
