Group Nine Media is looking for a Director of IT to help us grow, organize, and maintain the internal IT infrastructure of our expanding digital media empire.
As our company expands, so does the amount of network equipment, storage, and office space that needs to be managed. We need someone that can help us both maintain our existing infrastructure, while also creating a blueprint for how we should be set up to scale efficiently.

- Identify cost-savings opportunities within hardware and IT support services
- Develop, maintain and enforce company-wide IT security policies
- Build out new systems and additions as needed
- Work with our network equipment providers to develop a consistent, performant hardware lineup across our office spaces
Requirements:
- Minimum 5 years of general network administration experience
- Comfortable with a very fast paced environment with many day-to-day challenges
- OK with getting hands dirty and learning technologies you may not know
- Ability to identify what the best solution is for the job without bias towards past experience
- Have worked with and maintained large network-based storage systems and VMs in some capacity
- Absolutely zero ego. Patient and respectful towards all.
Preferred:

- You run your own NAS at home
- You have your own rack at home
