IT Systems Administrator | Riviera Dining Group

POSITION SUMMARY

Riviera Dining Group is hiring a full-time, on-site IT Systems Administrator to lead network administration, Microsoft 365 administration, and end-user technical support across its restaurant and hospitality venues. This is an active, mobile, hands-on position — expect to be on your feet, on ladders, in server closets, and on the restaurant floor during service. This is not a remote or desk-bound systems administrator role.

Microsoft 365 & SharePoint Administration

Administer Office 365 and Microsoft 365, including Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive.

Build and maintain SharePoint Online sites for internal documentation and collaboration.

Help Desk & End-User Support

Serve as primary point of contact for internal IT support tickets through a modern ticketing system.

Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and Toast POS issues for team members, including in-person support during active service hours.

Business Application Administration

Manage user roles, permissions, and integrations within Slack.

Partner with stakeholders to ensure business applications support operational processes effectively.

IT Security & Compliance

Implement and maintain IT security best practices: data backup, antivirus, patch management, and access control.

Ensure compliance with relevant standards and internal policies.

Vendor & IT Asset Management

Manage third-party vendor relationships for software licensing, hardware procurement, and IT services.

Track and maintain hardware and software IT asset inventories.

Proficiency with the Microsoft 365 admin center and SharePoint Online.

Working knowledge of Slack administration.

Familiarity with ticketing systems such as Zendesk, Freshservice, or Jira.

Ability to work independently, prioritize competing requests, and respond under time pressure.

Preferred

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Information Technology.

CCNA, Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate, or [Salesforce Administrator — CONFIRM] certification.

Standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and crouching for extended periods.

Climbing ladders and working in confined spaces, including server closets, above-ceiling cable runs, and under-counter POS installations.

Lifting and carrying equipment up to 50 pounds.
