What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Security Specialist position at AssetWorks Inc?
Job Summary: AssetWorks is hiring an IT Security Specialist to handle the daily operation of our endpoint security tools and manage the full employee provisioning lifecycle. This role sits within the Tech Services & Data Security team, reporting to the Manager, Tech Services & Data Security, who retains overall ownership of our security tooling strategy and final decision authority on security matters. You'll be the person actively working in our security tools every day, running routine operations and handling standard issues on your own, while recognizing when something needs to go to the Manager rather than being handled solo. This isn't a subject matter expert role: we're looking for someone comfortable navigating these platforms day to day and exercising good judgment about what to escalate, not someone who needs to design our security strategy. We're looking for a high performer for this seat, someone who takes ownership of their day-to-day scope without needing it broken down for them, stays on top of routine tasks consistently, and knows when to bring something to the Manager rather than let it sit. This is a hands-on, internally facing role covering employees from day one through offboarding.
