We are seeking a seasoned IT Specialist to assume a dual role: responding to IT audit requests and maintaining critical IT systems and infrastructure. This individual will combine technical expertise in systems administration with strong knowledge of IT audit and compliance requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Audit Response & Compliance (Approx. 50%):
* Act as the main point of contact for internal, external, and regulatory audits involving IT.
* Collect, organize, and submit audit documentation, including evidence of access controls, system configurations, logs, and security policies.
* Coordinate with other IT and business units to ensure accurate and complete responses to audit inquiries.
* Support testing of IT general controls (ITGCs), application-level controls, and infrastructure safeguards.
* Maintain up-to-date compliance documentation and help prepare for recurring audits (e.g., PCI, SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST).
System Administration (Approx. 50%):
* Manage and maintain servers, networks, and IT infrastructure (Windows/Linux environments).
* Monitor system performance, backups, patch management, and security configurations.
* Administer user accounts, permissions, and group policies in Active Directory and cloud-based platforms.
* Ensure system integrity and availability through regular maintenance, updates, and proactive monitoring.
* Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and networking issues.
* Implement and maintain system documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and IT asset inventories.
The ideal candidate will possess a bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field; or equivalent hands-on experience. Strong working knowledge of Windows and/or Linux servers, networking, and cloud platforms is required. Familiarity with IT audit processes and frameworks (e.g., PCI, SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) is also essential.
Familiarity with GRC tools and ticketing systems (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira) is a plus. Exposure to virtual environments (VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) is also desirable. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong organizational and multitasking skills, high attention to detail, and excellent English communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
This role requires the ability to handle sensitive data with discretion and confidentiality. Self-driven, analytical, and adaptable individuals in a fast-paced IT environment are encouraged to apply.
