Role summary
The IT Support Specialist plays a key role in managing and supporting the company's IT offices and internal network infrastructure. This role ensures reliable, secure, and user-centered technology services for Ridgeline employees, with dedicated ownership of the New York (in-person support) and Dublin (virtual support) offices.
