The analyst will work within established approval requirements, maintain accurate ServiceNow ITSM records, and coordinate with service desk and engineering teams to complete work from request through verified resolution.\nSuccess requires a hands-on analyst who can learn quickly, work independently, identify unclear requests before granting access, and communicate effectively with employees and managers.\nService continuity and control quality are the priorities; process improvements should support those priorities and follow established change control requirements.\nKey Responsibilities\nSupport employees with Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, Box, approved SaaS applications, authentication, and routine endpoint issues. Troubleshoot directly within assigned access and coordinate specialist support when needed.\n\nManage assigned onboarding, role changes, and terminations across Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and other approved applications. Validate approvals, group memberships, application entitlements, and removal of access no longer required.\n\nCoordinate account provisioning, equipment readiness, hardware delivery and return, and remaining onboarding or offboarding tasks with service desk teams and internal stakeholders. Verify completion across each responsible team.\n\nValidate inconsistent manager, department, title, or access information before proceeding. Apply least privilege and approved access patterns; seek appropriate management approval for exceptions or unresolved access decisions.\n\nOwn assigned ServiceNow ITSM tickets through closure, documenting approvals, actions, validation, unresolved dependencies, and clear updates to the requester. Escalate blocked or high-risk work promptly.\n\nSupport access reviews, stale account cleanup, and access-related audit evidence requests for SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST i1, and other assigned compliance activities. Retain complete, retrievable records of work performed.\n\nFollow established requirements for handling confidential and sensitive information, including PHI and PII where applicable. Report suspected security incidents or inappropriate access promptly to designated contacts.\n\nKnowledge Transfer and Operational Expectations\nAt the beginning of the engagement, review recurring tasks, open tickets, application ownership, access procedures, escalation contacts, and known exceptions with relevant team members. Validate required system access and document any remaining knowledge gaps.\n\nThroughout the engagement, maintain runbooks and a visible list of open work, risks, and dependencies. Provide regular status updates to the designated IT leadership contact at an agreed cadence.\n\nComplete routine work independently within documented authority. Escalate security concerns, unclear approvals, and decisions outside the assigned scope with a concise explanation and recommended next step.\n\nAt contract completion, provide an organized transition handoff covering completed work, outstanding requests, access exceptions, procedure changes, and follow-up actions.\n\nSuccess Measures\nNew hires have approved access and coordinated equipment readiness for day one; role changes and terminations meet agreed service levels with verified completion.\n\nEmployee requests receive timely communication and resolution or a documented escalation, with no avoidable gaps between internal IT and external service provider teams.\n\nTickets and access evidence are accurate and retrievable, and recurring tasks continue without requiring constant management oversight.\n\nRunbooks and the final handoff support continuity of IT operations.\n\nSmall process improvements are documented and implemented only with appropriate approval.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nHands-on IT support and identity administration experience, including practical administration of Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 in a SaaS environment.\n\nExperience completing onboarding, role changes, terminations, group and application access changes, and access validation from initial request through closure.\n\nStrong troubleshooting skills and a service-oriented approach to supporting a fully remote employee community.\n\nSound judgment when requests are ambiguous, approvals are missing, or requested access exceeds the business need; ability to resolve routine issues without unnecessary escalation.\n\nClear written communication and disciplined ticket documentation suitable for operational review and audit evidence.\n\nAbility to prioritize competing requests, learn existing procedures quickly, and take ownership within a small team with limited management bandwidth.\n\nAbility to work independently in a contract-based engagement and deliver against defined operational priorities and timelines.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in lean IT teams, alongside a managed service provider (MSP), or in healthcare or another regulated environment; familiarity with HIPAA and handling sensitive information is helpful.\n\nExperience with Salesforce, Box, Intune or another MDM platform, CrowdStrike Falcon, Zscaler ZIA, KnowBe4, or access review and audit evidence tools.\n\nExperience supporting AI platforms such as Claude Enterprise and OpenAI, including user access, approved assistants, GPTs, or similar tools.\n\nExperience documenting runbooks or improving identity workflows. Automation experience is helpful but is secondary to reliable IT operational support.\n\nWorking Environment\nCore tools include ServiceNow ITSM, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365, Box, Salesforce, endpoint management and security tools, and external service provider escalation channels.\nAccess processes include manual steps and shared responsibilities across internal IT and external service providers. The analyst must verify handoffs, document exceptions, and work within assigned administrative permissions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6663,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Managed IT Services (MSP)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T00:34:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexustek-it-analyst-contract","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexustek-it-analyst-contract.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T11:51:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15080,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2054979},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2054979"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnexustek-it-analyst-contract"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnexustek-it-analyst-contract"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnexustek-it-analyst-contract"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nexustek-it-analyst-contract\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnexustek-it-analyst-contract"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3715422}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nexustek.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3715422},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
