Systems Administrator

📍 New York, NY, Midtown Manhattan - Hybrid Role

Overview

Our client, a private investment firm based in Midtown Manhattan, NYC, is seeking a Systems Administrator to join their team in a highly visible, hands-on capacity.

This is a unique hybrid role that blends high-level IT support with systems administration, ideal for someone who enjoys being both user-facing and technically involved across infrastructure, systems, and projects.

The Opportunity

This is not a "back-office" Systems Administration role. You’ll play a key part in ensuring the day-to-day technology experience runs smoothly across the firm, while also supporting and maintaining core systems and infrastructure.

The role offers a strong mix of hands-on IT Support, technology troubleshooting, working with users at all levels of the firm, systems ownership, and project-based work.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Provide high-touch onsite and remote support across desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and applications
• Troubleshoot and resolve both day-to-day and escalated technical issues
• Manage and track tickets while maintaining strong communication and follow-through
• Administer and support Windows Server, Active Directory, and core IT infrastructure
• Support networking, security tools, and enterprise systems
• Configure and deploy hardware including laptops, mobile devices, and A/V systems
• Lead and contribute to projects such as OS migrations, upgrades, and hardware refreshes
• Manage patching, updates, and overall system maintenance
• Coordinate with external vendors and internal stakeholders on escalations and initiatives
• Identify opportunities to automate processes and improve efficiency and user experience

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in a Systems Administrator and IT Support hybrid role
• Proven ability and desire to provide hands on troubleshooting across Windows, Mac, mobile devices, and enterprise environments
• Experience with Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and Windows Server
• Exposure to tools like VMware, Citrix, Mimecast, Sophos, or similar
• Comfortable working across infrastructure, networking, and end-user environments
• Strong communication skills with a service-oriented, white glove, user-first mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

• True hybrid role with exposure across both support and backend systems
• High visibility within a well-established private investment firm
• Strong mix of support, systems, and project work
• Opportunity to take ownership and grow technically in a stable, high-performing environment
