Job description

About Delinea:

Delinea is the identity security platform that continuously controls what AI agents, humans and machines can do and for how long. It extends privileged access management from the point of access to the moment of action, using just-in-time authorization to reduce standing privilege across on-premises, multi-cloud and short-lived infrastructure, without adding friction for legitimate users. Delinea provides visibility across every identity type, scores the risk each one carries, and preserves the context behind access decisions, making them auditable and defensible. It supports both static and ephemeral access, letting teams apply Zero Standing Privilege where risk demands it without replacing existing infrastructure.

Summary:

Our growing technology company seeks an experienced IT professional to join our elite team. We are looking for a self-motivated, customer service-oriented Lead IT Support Specialist to provide internal technical support in an efficient and accurate manner, serve as a senior escalation point for complex issues, and deliver high-touch, white-glove support to executive leadership. This role will partner closely with C-suite stakeholders, ensuring a seamless and secure technology experience through professionalism, discretion, and urgency. You will advise project teams on technology needs while contributing to the stability, maintenance, and continuous improvement of our IT systems, serving as a trusted front line and technical leader across the organization.

Ideally, the right candidate will be based in the San Francisco, CA metropolitan area. This position is not fully remote and requires regular in-office presence to support local operations (4 days per week onsite). Hybrid flexibility may be available depending on business needs; however, this role will have a higher expectation of in-office engagement.

What You'll Do:

•Perform daily system monitoring, verifying the integrity and availability of hardware, server resources, systems, and key processes; review system and application logs to ensure operational stability.

•Provide OS, application, hardware, VoIP, and collaboration support for on-site and remote users, serving as a senior escalation point for complex issues.

•Deliver high-touch, white-glove technical support to executive leadership, including proactive troubleshooting, confidentiality, and rapid response.

•Provide advanced audio/video conferencing and meeting room support, ensuring seamless executive meetings, presentations, and hybrid collaboration sessions.

•Perform desktop/laptop hardware upgrades and manage hardware and software inventory lifecycle processes.

•Ensure seamless employee onboarding and offboarding, including account provisioning, executive-level device preparation, basic training, and directory maintenance.

•Create and maintain organized system documentation, improve IT-related processes, and contribute to project planning, deployment, maintenance, and decommissioning of IT systems.

What You'll Need:

•5–8+ years of experience in IT support, systems administration, or a related technical role, including direct executive-level support

•Advanced hands-on hardware, software, and network troubleshooting experience across Windows and macOS environments

•Strong experience supporting collaboration platforms including Microsoft Teams (including Teams Rooms), Zoom, webinar platforms, and executive audio/video conferencing systems

•Demonstrated ability to provide white-glove, high-touch support to senior leadership with professionalism, discretion, and urgency

•Experience with VoIP systems, VDI environments (e.g., Windows 365), and enterprise workstation platforms (Dell, Lenovo, Surface, and Apple devices)

•Familiarity with virtualization technologies such as VMware Workstation or Hyper-V

•Working knowledge of PowerShell scripting, Windows task scheduling, and backup/recovery methodologies

•Experience with Help Desk service management platforms (e.g., Zendesk, JSM, ServiceNow)

•Strong understanding of remote access technologies and modern endpoint management concepts

•Willingness to respond to critical incidents or executive support needs outside standard business hours

•Relevant certifications such as A+, Network+, Server+, MCP, or equivalent experience preferred

•Exceptional interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills with a polished executive presence

•Highly self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of prioritizing effectively in high-pressure environments
