Our IT Group is highly regarded throughout the company and we're looking for a technically astute, customer-focused IT professional who can become an integral part of our team and support diverse users throughout the organization as well as interface with outside consultants, clinical sites, and vendors as you support our ongoing growth initiatives.

This role will evolve over time, but at a high level, you'll spend about 60% of your time on routine network administration/maintenance and the remaining 40% with development activities.

Keys to Success
Pivotal to your success in this role is strong technical savvy and outstanding troubleshooting skills. Equally important, however, will be your ability to keep our users content by ensuring they are satisfied with the support they receive. This will require you to comprehend their needs and requirements and to effectively speak to each user's level of technical understanding, which can range from the highly proficient to novice users with little technical background, with patience and consideration.
Getting ahead in our environment will also call for strong initiative and excellent multitasking ability, as you push to take on more responsibility and help keep our small -- and busy -- department on schedule.
Last, but certainly not least, you'll excel in this role by automating processes, identifying potential systems improvements, and proposing ideas that optimize our business and help our people achieve their goals more efficiently.
If this sounds like the right mix of challenge and opportunity, and you meet the required qualifications, we look forward to hearing from you
