Location: Hybrid (Istanbul Office)

Type: Hands-on individual contributor (no people management)

Salary: Competitive

About Us We are an AI-powered consumer intelligence firm, using cutting-edge market research methodologies to deliver real-time consumer insights to global clients. As a data-driven company, we take security and reliability seriously while operating in a fast-moving startup environment.

The Role We’re looking for a hands-on IT Administrator to own day-to-day IT operations and endpoint security across the company.

This role is ideal for someone early to mid in their IT career who enjoys working directly with users, administering Microsoft environments, and solving real problems . You will be the single internal owner of IT operations and practical security tasks, while coordinating with external security consultants where needed.

This is not a people-management role and not a GRC / audit-heavy position .

Responsibilities Microsoft 365 & Identity Administration (Core)

• Administer Microsoft 365 and Azure Entra ID.

• Own the full employee lifecycle: user and device creation, onboarding, role changes, and offboarding.

Endpoint Management & Security

• Manage company devices using Intune (enrollment, configuration profiles, compliance policies, application deployment).
• Deploy patches and configuration changes to remediate endpoint vulnerabilities.
• Ensure baseline device security (disk encryption, screen lock, antivirus/EDR deployment where applicable).

Vulnerability Tracking & Security Coordination

• Use tools such as Vanta to track and close endpoint-related security findings (patching, policies, evidence).
• Coordinate with external security consultants and internal teams (DevOps, HR) to ensure findings are resolved on time.
• Support basic incident handling by escalating and coordinating when needed.

Global IT Support

• Act as the primary IT point of contact for employees across different countries and time zones.
• Troubleshoot access, device, and productivity issues in English.

Requirements Must-Have

• Hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 and Azure Entra ID.
• Practical experience with user onboarding/offboarding, access management, and permissions.
• Experience managing SSO and Enterprise Applications.
• Hands-on Intune experience (device enrollment, policies, patching).
• Comfortable working independently in a startup environment.
• Strong communication skills in English.

Nice-to-Have (Not Required)

• Familiarity with Vanta or similar tools for tracking security/compliance tasks.
• Basic security hygiene knowledge (MFA, device compliance, least privilege).
• Startup or scale-up experience.
• Microsoft certifications.

You do not need deep knowledge of ISO, SOC2, or security frameworks — you’ll work with external specialists when needed.

• Multinet Meal Ticket
• Private Medical Insurance (Allianz)
